Set Collectors - Report in your progress!

[smellthegum]

I'm working on 67 too, and just passed 500. My most recent additions are Alomar and Grant. Still a big job ahead as I'm missing Seaver, Carew, Mantle, B Robby (looking for these guys graded) and about half the highs, and nothing's getting cheaper.

I find it interesting how infrequently 67s are offered here on the BST despite the popularity of the set and the number of us who are working on it.

Best of luck to you guys who are also in the hunt!

The Carew RC is ridiculous anymore. I don't historically think of that as being quite on par w/ the Seaver, but a guy on eBay this week was wanting close to $700 for a PSA 4.

Looks like a couple of PSA 4s sold for just 320ish two days ago though. Wouldn't have minded even upgrading mine for that, since it has the typical wacky Carew centering

Carews in BIN format are above my price point anymore. I may have to wait out an auction. I will agree the centering on all '67's is tough, due to the fact that the borders are so narrow to begin with. Add the ever-present tilt problem in, and it becomes even more difficult. For my set, I'm going for print clarity and color before centering. I don't like badly OC or miscut cards, but 70/30 one way is not going to bother me.

I am down to 100 even for my 54 topps set

Down to 3 on the 1954 Red Heart set

Down to 9 on my 1953 topps set
(really 8 as I have just about given up on ever having the Mays)

How are you doing on your 64 set?

[campyfan39]

I need 100 to complete including some stars but I have all the big boys. Also have a decent amount of the highs.
You? I already got rid of my dupes.
