I haven't updated in a while, so here goes. I am up to 196 different cards for my 1962 Topps set. I've traded for most and have a whopping $2 into it.

I bought the Maris for $50 and a lot of probably 50 different from Northviewcats for $42 ($92). I then turned around and traded the Maris for a Baugh RC and Jimmy Brown 2nd year card (1959). From there, I sold the Baugh for $90 after fees/shipping, so am back down to having $2 into the set.

That said, I don't have any of the major stars like Maris, Mantle, Mays, etc. But have several of the Ruth cards, LL cards (Clemente, Koufax, etc.) and several other HOFers (Marichal, Spahn, Brooks Robinson, etc.). So I'm making progress on it.

I also finished the 1974 Topps set, but now I'm going back through and upgrading. I'm having to upgrade about 60 of the cards, including 4-5 HOFers. The majority of them are being upgrading due to creasing, severe centering issues or just being rough (rounded corners, tears on the edge, etc.).

Finally, I bought a nice starter lot of about 400 different 1971 Topps cards. Included about 50 high #s as well as some various stars. Pulled about 20 or so that were creased or had severe centering issues, paper loss, etc. So about halfway down with that set. Haven't started working on it yet.

Matt, I have a bunch of T205 in the trade thread in case you are interested. They are all SGC graded.

I’d sell or trade but I do have a pending bulk deal that might take some / all of them ( there is over 100 of them to choose from). First come first served

14 more to go, a few trades possible that I should be down to 12.

That’s all Topps sets from 1953 to 1980.
It includes low numbered 1952 set too.

It’s over 14,000 complete with just a dozen to go!

Added one more '64 Giants auto (D. Ellsworth) thanks to a contact in CA who saw him at the Fresno Grizzlies Hot Stove Banquet.

Now at 47/60 and the road is getting steeper.

[ALR-bishop]

Neat project Tom. I have always liked the 64 Giant set . Great photos and lots of stars

[baseballfan]

I love the 64 GIANTS set too. I have a graded set and raw set started, that I would love to complete. have some doubles available if anyone else is working on it.

I would love to see the auto'd set, start a thread with some pics. who else do you need?

I haven't got any in months but got that itch to finally finish 1960 Topps Baseball! Been working on it for about 5 years and have a bunch still left to complete but as many can relate it's about filling the set and upgrading later. My whole set is ungraded raw EX-EXMT maybe some NM with nice photos clean back, whole card in tack but I don't go after beaters but still dn't mind a little off center or wrinkle and creases.

All i need are these 10,34,55,73,100,111,112,114,127,128,132,136,138,13 9,140,142,143,147,148,151,153,156,159,163,164,170, 173,174,182,187,193,194,195,196,200,204,208,210,21 2,222,223,227,235,237,239,240,241,242,246,249,250, 258,262,281,282,287,288,291,293,294,296,297,298,29 9,300,302,304,305,308,309,314,315,316,317,318,319, 320,321,322,323,324,325,326,328,330,331,332,333,33 4,335,336,337,338,339,340,341,343,344,345,346,347, 348,349,350,351,353,354,355,356,359,360,361,362,36 4,365,366,368,369,370,371,373,374,375,377,379,381, 382,385,386,387,388,389,390,391,392,393,395,396,39 7,398,401,402,403,405,406,408,409,410,412,413,414, 416,417,419,420,421,422,424,425,427,428,431,432,43 4,435,436,438,440,441,442,443,444,445,446,447,448, 449,450,451,452,453,454,461,462,463,464,471,472,47 3,474,475,476,477,478,479,480,481,482,483,484,485, 486,487,488,489,490,492,493,494,496,497,498,499,50 1,503,504,505,506,507,508,509,510,511,512,513,514, 515,516,517,518,519,520,521,522,523,524,525,526,52 7,528,529,530,531,532,533,534,535,536,537,538,539, 540,541,542,543,544,545,546,547,548,549,550,551,55 2,553,554,555,556,557,558,559,560,561,562,563,564, 565,566,567,568,569,570,571,572
hoping to crack out alot of those cards from the list then move on to another set or 2. I search almost every day for the cards needed!!

[blackandgold]

After a very long struggle, I am just one card away from finishing off the 1967 Topps Baseball set. Unfortunately, that card is number 581, the Tom Seaver rookie. I’m hoping to finally cross that off the list soon.

I actually just posted about this yesterday, but I'm happy to say that Mr. Seaver arrived last month, and my 1967 set is complete.

Congrats! Very cool set. Just curious, do you store this in a binder? I don’t have this set, but I imagine it would look awesome in sheets/binder.

Ed,
Thanks! It is in a binder. Right now, they are back to back in a 9 pocket page, but I'm going to get a bigger binder to put only 9 in a page so you can see the front and back.

Just got the final card to complete my 1951 Bowman set (oddly a rather common card). Took many years to finally complete. I actually had the Mantle and Mays cards first before starting on the set.

Now it's on to the 1953 Bowman set.
