T3 Turkey Red Master Set - COMPLETE

[T3s]

Hi,

A year or two ago, I asked PSA to consider creating a T3 Turkey Red Master Set in their set registry that would include all the card front variations as well as the Second Series "Turkey Red" back variation that they had noted on slabs since they started grading T3s. I think the original number of cards was listed at 145 or so, but as difficult front/back combinations were located and were graded, the number grew to where it stands today at 152. While there are a few possible cards that may one day be added, I think 152 may stand for a while.

Today I added number 152 to my registry and by PSA standards, completed the first T3 Turkey Red Master Set!

The set itself includes some extremely scarce front/back combinations, including 5 cards with total graded populations (all grades) of 1, 4 more cards with a total graded population of 2 and 1 card with a total graded population of 3.

A true T3 Master Set would actually be comprised of 252 different front/back combinations, but since PSA didn't differentiate the three First Series backs (1-75, 1-76 and the 1-76 "No-Ad" variations), we'll need to go with 152 for now. I've asked them to consider identifying the "No-Ad" backs at some point as these are quite unique, but haven't heard back. As for my set in this regard, I have all the available 1-75 and 1-76 checklist cards and 42 out of 50 "No-Ad" backs. Thats a grand total of 244 of 252.

Thanks for allowing me to share. It is an amazing set, absolute pieces of art and quite addictive.

Happy Collecting,
