On June 29th, we took a family vacation to New Orleans. I set a bunch of snipes, and only two won, but hey, I made some progress! The first was card #71 Vernon Law in PSA 6. I got this for $9.99. Then, I won an auction for two cards #78 Lloyd Merriman and #79 Lou Brissie, both in PSA 5. The pair came for $13.19. So, as of June 29th, I stood at 14 or 252 (5.56%)

When I got back to the house on July 7th, I found a bunch of packages waiting for me. I also found an ebay bucks gift certificate in my ebay folder. It wasn't much, but it amounted to three free cards. I picked the three of these cards up for $33.30. This puts me at 17 of 252 (6.75%) as of July 7th. [IMG]

I snagged this PSA 4 #150 Herman Wehmeier on an ebay auction last night for $5.13. This puts me at 18 of 252 (7.14%). This is a marathon, not a sprint. So, I'm going to keep my eyes open for low priced cards that fit the set.

I started to put this set together about 2 and half years ago in low grade raw shape. I have been sidetracked in moving forward by both personal reasons and the fact that I can't seem to focus one one collecting thing long enough. At last count I have around 175 to 180 of the cards.
The only big card I am missing is the Mantle which I am wanting to be the final card. I built a different set years ago (1955 Topps) and the last dozen cards I needed were commons of players I wasn't familiar with so I vowed when I build a set to leave a big card for last. Anyway, other than the Mantle the only other HOFer I lack is Richie Ashburn. The Wiiie Mays card is one of my favorite all time cards and absolutely my favorite card of him so when I got it it was quite a thrill. Here is a picture below. Got a great deal on it from a board member. It's really nice and the pin hole doesn't bother me in the least. Good luck with the set. I fell in love with it because another poster years ago showed his progress as you are. It was then I first saw the great detail in capturing the player as well as the backgrounds. Thanks for starting the thread. It is renewing my interest in finishing it. Drew
