My stuff is modest. I have several complete sets. While not in perfect condition, frankly, they are how I like them. I have a lot of other years, OJs, Gold Coins, t cards, Goudeys, Play Balls, etc., and while not complete sets, they are the cards I want out of those sets. I just recently added 2 really nice baseballs to my collection of those; 1928 Yankees team signed and 1949 Yankees team signed, Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and all the others, both official American League balls. Both in the safe deposit box. And while I prefer raw cards, these have both been evaluated as authentic. I now have 2 Ruth signed balls and 2 DiMaggio signed balls. I wouldn't trade or sell these for anything. Likewise my cards and other stuff. I got them because I wanted them and like them, not to sell. I actually prefer beater cards, as my sellers and traders here at net54 will verify.

I don't know where to go next. I thought about 1954 Topps as another complete set, as I have both Williams, Mays, Aaron, Banks, Kaline, and all the other big cards, but I just don't care enough for the other cards to build that set.

I guess I will just continue to plod along with whatever comes along that I like and can get, given the high cost.
