So here's my first one for the new project. a 1954 Topps complete set all graded PSA 7 or better! I know atleast one other person on here has done this set or is working on it so hopefully mine will go well too!

First pickup:

#38 Eddie Stanky - PSA 8 NM-MT

Default '54s
I think the 54s are awesome, loaded with RCs and HOFers, very unique. I would like to pick up the Whitey Ford--I think that is an awesome card

I agree with Pat, it's a very cool set. I remember a '54 Heinie Manush was the first "vintage" card I ever bought back in the late 80's. This set also has one of the most unique cards ever produced, the John & Ed O'Brien twins card. Great card, great set. Good luck!

yeah its a really nice lookin set. that one and the '55 are real close together in terms of my favorite vintage sets, so naturally they're the first two I had to go after!

That twin card is kinda cool. I've actually got one in a lower grade and I remember when I first got it I thought it was kinda unique. Thanks for the well wishes scmavl!

I always try to get a big jump to start it off and then go slower after that. I feel like I need a solid foundation to start from so that i won't lose interest or get frustrated and feel like I'm not making any progress, lol. Now that I have a good chunk to build on I'll probably kinda take it easy and just pick them up here and there

thanks for the comment!

Good luck. One card on my want list is a 54 Duke Snider. I think that is a great looking card.

yeah that is a really nice one! i saw a guy at the show this past weekend who had a pretty nice Snider graded PSA 7. I told myself that if I made enough in sales to cover it that I'd pick it up, but fell a bit short

Isn't this the Lasorda from the poll you set up a few weeks back? Either way great card.
