I have to stop looking at this thread! I am locked in on building a '65 Topps set and have thought about a '61 or '62 Topps set next or even a '54 Topps, but this darn thread could suck me back in. A couple of years back, I sold off the 20 or so I had (including a really nice Musial that I wish I had back). Back in the spring, I bought an ex condition Spahn which I still have. These are so beautiful...

This thread has outperformed my expectations lol! Thanks for the contributions, fellas.
The Phillies grouping is fantastic, and as much as I love the Ashburn, the Mel Clark is a knockout baseball card. Ted - is Dan Paley still around? The one and only time I set up at show (Ft Washington March 2000) you were on my left, Dan Paley on my right, Roger Burns across the aisle and Joe Chechovich right next to him. It was a great learning experience.

Hi Neal
Dan Paley is still the character you may recall from 16 years ago at the Ft Washington Philly Show. He's doesn't set-up at shows, however, anymore. Great hearing from you again. TED Z .

Neal,
This is an amazing set to work on and one I am currently about 60% complete on the HoFers part of it. I dont think I have the patience to do a complete set but if I did I think I could do it with this one. That is a nice Spahn and Roberts. I need both of those two. Better go ahead and get a Mantle now lol The prices on that card has been exploding recently. 2 months ago you could get a psa 4 for aroud $500. Now they are easily $600-$650. 5s were $650-$700 and are now approaching $1000 especially if the centering is nice. To me it is an incredibly beautiful set. To me it is most amazingly beautiful set ever.

Good to hear Dan is still a character, Ted!
Arex - thanks. The Mantle is certainly on my list, but that is one card that I will be patient on. I have seen a few in recent months, but was not wowed by any other than those out of my ballpark. Ashburn, Berra, and Snider need to have the wow factor also.

Ted
I have always really liked that article and had recommended it to other fans of the 1953 Bowman Color Set. Never realized you wrote it until you posted it. Very informative and well written, even though written years ago its information has held up over the years.
