I built a T206 set which i am reasonably sure set me back every bit as much and it was a marvelous journey. Unlike my lowish-grade set, of which I suspect more that 300 exist, I am pretty sure you'll be the only guy with a 1983 set like that.

Thanks man, totally appreciate it and I dont but I find it funny that others worry about how I spend my money. Im doing this over a few years so I am really not one bit worried about it.

There are 45 sets on the PSA registry. One guy has all but like 4 cards as PSA 10 and then others go down. I am number 31 so far with my 20.

I don't worry about how you spend your money. I could care less - it's your money. My point was, in 30 years from now, would your kids rather have a PSA 10 1983 Topps Set or $100K? My kids would rather have the $100K, but that's just them. Maybe they're different.

Edited to add: End the end, do what makes you happy. As I said in my initial post, don't let me or anybody else tell you how to collect. Enjoy it and have fun. Good luck!

not sure why we are talking about investing in cards....we all know we will lose money in set collecting for the most part...its a hobby people...hobbys cost money and with a little money spread over the years for a psa 10 set, sounds like a fun pursuit....he not paying 10k all at once anyway..

Thanks and exactly

It's been a little over a year since the last post. How's the progress going?

I just saw a 9 different 1983 Topps PSA 10's in the week's JVSC auction and it reminded me of this thread.
