Set-Builder Thread

[HOF Yankees]

I never use to be a set collector when I first started collecting to keep which was back in high school in the early 2000s, I was always the singles buyer of one certain thing and I was also not sure on what to actually buy, always changing ideas. I would always read beckett and beckett vintage back in the day and read up on the sets and see who was in them and what the cards were worth back then, a big difference from then to now. Back in 2009 I was really getting into the idea of collecting Yankees team sets from the 60s era, knowing I never saw any of those players but I became such a big fan of the early days and the players that came before plus the designs, pictures, colors were very cool looking. I now collect my favorite full set 1960 Topps Baseball and full Topps Yankees team sets in the 60s era, maybe one day I will get the inserts as well.

Yankees sets I go for 1960-1969 both graded and ungraded raw, to keep cost down but also love to hold and feel the vintage cardboard as well. The set I am almost done with is 1968 Topps. I have 2 cards left Mickey Mantle base and the Super Stars Mantle/Mays/Killebrew, the rest still plugging away when I can

1960 Topps- always trying to get what I can when I can. I tend to look more towards appearance and price meaning not high end but within my budget. I love everything about the set, too cool.

In Conclusion, one day I may start another set but that is yet to be figured out yet
