Thank you for the kind words everyone. This has been quite a task. To locate the set, go to
http://www.sgccard.com/registrymain.aspx and then navigate to football sets, then select 1935 National Chicle, My set is The Project. I need to upgrade a few to get to #3...
A few highlights and lowlights of the quest for those who are interested.
Buying #3, George Kenneally, for $55 on ebay, having no clue what I was doing, as my first card. Ended up not even getting it graded as it was ridiculously miscut
Talking my wife into letting me get Bronko as my "year-end bonus" at work. I am self-employed so this is quite amusing
Getting hooked up with this message board and meeting Jeff. I think I bought at least ten from him. Thanks Jeff!
Buying 7 cards from an auction house including an amazing Rockne.(turned out to be trimmed and that is why it was amazing!)
2 submissions to SGC, both with heartache over trimmed cards.
Scanning every possible available website at least weekly looking for those elusive high numbers.
Thinking I was done when i bought Tosi from Jeff and had it crossed over from PSA to SGC.
Buying #16 Ben Smith to finish my set from America's pasttime. Give him a look at
www.americaspastime.com if you need any Chicles
And the decision to go SGC instead of PSA. Really a simply esthetic decision for me. I like the black frames on the holders. For the smaller cards, they frame it beautifully.
I am going to try to load scans, but it is summer time and my family is young and busy and it may take awhile.
Thanks again for the kind words. Next for me I think is 1965 topps football. I am going to try to find a SGC 60 or 80 Namath and then do the rest raw.
