Topps Punch Outs on the right, and is that a Stand Ups proof on the left? Not sure if I've ever seen that one. Last edited by JustBradd; 01-06-2024 at 02:13 PM.

Picked up 6 more for my upgrade project on my 53 set. I am replacing cards that are creased, stained, or have terrible centering. If you have any in similar condition to what is pictured (vg/ex type) I can post a list  Thanks!

Since I resumed collecting in 2013, after a 30 year hiatus
I restarted with next to nothing as a collection. Since then:
1909-11 T206 short set, 518/518 1911 T201, sold and rebuilt with a mix of grades 1935 Goudey 4 in 1 1936 r312 49/50 1955 Topps complete 1958 Topps 202/494 1959 Topps 557/572 1960 Topps complete 1961 Topps 329/587 1962 Topps Master set 1963 Topps 248/576 1964 Topps 297/589 1964 Topps Giants complete 1965 Topps complete 1966 Topps 434/598 1967 Topps 426/609 1970 Topps 467/720 1972 Topps 480/787 1975 Topps459/660 I spent a full 18 months focused on the T206 and just could not see spending $$ on the Big 4 plus 2. Built the T201 in an average SGC grade of 82, sold a bunch and rebuilt. Just cannot seem to get my hands on a Johnny Mize R312. Bought a run of Clemente cards, graded, over time and decided to build the ‘55 Topps. The ‘62 and ‘65 were my favorites as kids, they got next. Loved the look of the ‘56 and ‘60 so I ended up focused on the ‘60. About 2018, my health took a powder and I decided I liked the look of handled cards so I am not as picky on “grade” but like nice registration. And eventually I resumed. Sidetracked a bit on modern cards- chasing Trout cards up the stream and have way too many (around 900) with way too many to go. Talking about an education. Modern/ultramodern is all about the Benjamins with next to nothing holding any value. So I buy lotsa Trout commons. In bulk when I can. Why the hell not? Oh yeah, also have a 800 count box of Japanese cards, all kinds, menko, bromides, Calbee, Etc etc. Again, why not? Just fun, just cool. More power to you all, Peace out. Keith

Thank you. In trying to upgrade I have accumulated more dupes (in lots) than I realized. I will be listing a large starter set of over 100 with about 40 hi#'s on BST soon. I hope I can sell them so then I can get the last 24 and be done
The whole process is fun though isn't it guys! Quote:

I've been working on my 1967-69 Topps Baseball sets. I found some great deals on commons from local shops, the show in Pasadena, eBay and through fellow collectors on Old Baseball Cards. Where I will run into difficulties will be the 68 Ryan and Bench; and in 69 it'll be Mantle, Ryan, and Jackson to start with. I am leaving th 67 high numbers alone.
When my friend gave me his childhood collection, many, many of the cards were creased. I'm upgrading the worst ones, plus most of my newer additions are VG/EX to EX. I'm thinking about bulking out my extras from 1971, 72, and 73 to see if I can raise the funds to get some of the major stars, unslabbed, in g to vg condition. These are going to be "rat rod" type of sets, ugly in some ways but still interesting to look at. Phil aka Tere1071 67 Topps Baseball 431/533 68 Topps Baseball 505/598 69 Topps Baseball 535/664

Great job on finishing some nice sets everyone. I recently completed lower grade (1-3) 53 and 54 Topps baseball sets. I am two commons away from upgrading my 60 Topps to ex-mint/nm. I am thinking about starting a 55 set next in the 3-4 range.

59 was the first Topps set I finished and a sentimental favorite. There is a great thread on the 59 set on the CU board in the Registry section

Back in January I listed the progress of my 1967, 68, and 69 Topps Baseball Card sets. About three months ago, I decided to stop collecting the 1967 set as I will never be able to afford to complete the high numbers. I was able to assemble 521/533 in overall good condition, but among the missing are the Mantle, Mays, Aaron, and Clemente.
I have made progress on the 68 and 69 sets: I'm missing 19 cards to finish the 68 and 9 to complete the 69 sets. In each year I'm missing the Ryan, Mantle, Bench, and Carlton cards while I have a star in my 68 set that I don't have for 1969. I hope to work out a trade using my 1967 lot as well as using my extras from 1970-75, some 53 Bowman Color extras, and finally what I have left over from my Topps and Bowman Heritage collections. Each year finds me missing a few commons in the low and high numbers, but I've been reluctant to pull the trigger. For example, the 68 Agee (#465), and 69 McGraw (#601) are priced fairly high. I know both were members of the 69 Miracle Mets, but to purchase either of these from eBay, plus the shipping, means that I'll have to be patient and hopefully find one locally or through trade- hint, hint! (I broke my resolve the other day and won 68 Topps #528 (Tigers team) by placing a high bid that I thought no one else would come close to matching- I was wrong.) If anyone is interested in trading, I can send you my want lists of the needed star cards along with my lots which are listed numerically by year. They include semi and high numbers along with lower-tiered stars. Thank you and happy collecting! Phil aka Tere1071

67 is a fun set, don’t give up on it. Yes the highs suck and you can throw book value (for comparison purposes only) out the window because everything sells higher.
You can do it…….. 1969 topps will be my next set!!! Last edited by Elberson; 08-05-2024 at 10:03 AM.
