Buy/Sell/Trade - November 2004

As some of you may or may not be aware, I've been slowly getting my Turkey Red set graded by PSA and adding them to their set registry. It has always been my favorite set and I'm determined to have a complete and graded set. I have about 20 in my set that have tackholes (I'd like to upgrade these), I've gotten several back due to trimming and alterations, I'd like to upgrade any I have on the registry if I can. These things graded take up a lot of room, ya only got so much.

As a side, I plan on retiring in 5 years and at that time, I will slowly start to sell off my collection to supplement my income. No one in my family is interested in this stuff and I'm not gonna be buried with it. I've enjoyed collecting it, continue to enjoy collecting, but plan on enjoying the fruits of it too. I've been working on several sets over the years I've been collecting and have completed very few sets (T3s, T9s, T200s, N184s, getting close with my N2s), but I probably won't complete every set I collect and realize that. So....with that said, anything is possible for the right deal.

Most of you know what I collect, a lot of my cards are on the SGC registry. For now, I plan on keeping my N28 and N29 sets going, I will probably keep my N184 set for now, but I'm running out of hope with the N162 set (we can talk about my Andrews, Glasscock, Keefe and Kelly), my type collection cards are available for talking about, my albums, etc. Like I said, for the right card, I'm willing to talk about anything. Heres a link to my About Me page which shows a lot of my cards.

My thinking is in the initial thinking stages here, but I'm determined to complete this set graded and would probably wait forever for them to become available. I hope no one is offended, but I don't plan on answering emails unless my interest is piqued about a particular card. I'm suspecting I may get a few, could be wrong though too.

At this point, I'm looking for high end cards (and like I said, I have examples of all and would be willing to include my example in any trades). Heres a partial list I have here at work, but I know I need a couple more due to PSA sending them back:

T9s - Johnson, Cross, W Lewis, Attel, Marto, Langford, McGovern, T Murphy, Driscoll

T3s - Waddell, Krause, Konetchy, Murray, Bransfield, Smith, Merkle, Elberfeld, Bergen, Willis, Baker, Speaker, Bresnahan, Keeler, Stone, D Jones, Pfeister, Jordan, Fromme, Out at Third, Lennox, Hofman, Lord, Sallee, Hoblitzell, Raymond, Close Play at 2nd, Chief Meyers, Napping, Magee, Downey, Mcbride, Ames, Wilson, Burns.

Thanks for listening all, Keith
