Who's this Jeff guy ???????????


CONGRATS --- nice way to finish 520 off with a Red Cobb !!!!!!


If the stamp was GROSS instead of ROSS, I'd want my card back ....... super Old Mill, and most import, imo , great registration.


I won't be the one to say ---- Now what ??? --- It never really ends


My story:

Four years ago I won a ~400 card lot. The condition and backs were all over the place. No "big" HOF and no SLs, BUT it did have an O'Hara PB, so I knew 520 was going to have to happen ....... Sold the higher grade ones (ex/ex+) and the rarer backs (even the Polar Bears). This allowed me to fill in the needed HOFs and SLs.

Then got into buying lots, upgrading, trading, reselling, that ultimately got me to 520. Concentrating only on Pied. and SC allowed me to put together a very consistent set. Got to the point I felt I could upgrade some cards, but not all of them to keep overall consistency.

Thought of selling, thought out loud to a friend about selling, and that friend had a buyer. So I sold, got my price, and decided to take a break.

That break lasted about 2 weeks when I won a 200+ lot of good cards. Decided then for another run at it. This time a bit lower grade and some back variety .....................BUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .............. This time take it slow and steady................ That lasted less than a month, and two larger lots later, I'm at 477 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I really don't have a problem ........... I can stop anytime I want


Fun stuff, Scott
