Matthew,

On a couple of occasions I've given serious thought to tackling a PSA10 project of a modern set. And obviously not for the fiscal rewards, but rather to add a challenge element to an otherwise easy endeavour. What has always ultimately detoured me is the size of sets. 20, 50 or even 100 card sets, I could see myself doing, but a 792-card Topps set or even an 800-card Upper Deck is just too large to me.

That said, if tackling that set is a challenge you want to try, I say go for it!
Would you approach it by hoping to find & buy the cards already graded, or would you be trying to buy raw and submit as well?

Cheers,

Richard.

Someone's trying an '83 Topps, which seems damn tough. Was interested in chasing one myself, and that brought these questions to mind. I suspect it's a money-loosing venture, but I'm okay losing ~$2k or so on it.

(Thanks in advance)
