It's no easy task to put all those sets together in high grade.

Thanks Jay--that was the toughest of the "Big 3" to put together in PSA 8 or better. If it wasn't for Mike Rakosi--The King of Vintage Basketball--I never could have done it.

Id sure like to have Spence's N28's set which is all 8's with two 9's. Second finest current T206 set behind Louchios untouchable set
As for N172 no one has taken a serious run at it with the psa set registry. Though there is a very impressive collection with the sgc registry.

several T206 8's & 9's that reside in Spence's set came from me...he was an obsolute gentleman to deal with, real class act.

Happy to see that no one bashed these guys -- when I saw the thread I feared the worst. I want to commend them both. I have made trades with Don Spence and he was a pleasure to deal with.

I filled some holes in Don's T206 collection and I concur that he was a pleasure to deal with.
