Congratulations on some good progress! You building in graded or ungraded? My sets are always a mix.

Hallelujah!!!!!! My 1957 Topps set is finally complete after acquiring PSA 7's Bobby Richardson and Don Zimmer at nice discounts via the recent 15% off ebay coupons. This took a lifetime to accomplish, so I am feeling lucky and a bit psyched!!!

Robert the sets are raw but I have a couple graded in both, same with my 57, that I finished finally in 2017. these 3 sets are in decent shape so I think that's why its taking me so long to finish them.

jolly that 57 Richardson was a tough card wasn't it. it was 1 of the last cards I needed also for the set and I think I got it in SGC 7 grade.
congrats

Thanks, Fred. Yeah, it's one of those perfect storm sorta things for sellers. Not only a Yankees rookie card (of a player going down in history for grabbing McCovey's line drive to end the 1962 World Series) from an extremely popular set, but it happens to be in the tough middle/high-series. Oy vey. There are plenty of them on ebay, but the asking prices for ungraded ones are pretty crazy, so I made a decent offer on a PSA 7 and used the 15% off to make it a nice get in the end.

I know this should normally go in a different forum area... but I'm trying to avoid posting in areas that wouldn't be seen by the right people.

I recently took on a large consignment of cards mainly from the 50's and 60's. I have the ability to fill in gaps on sets from what I took in. The years are as follows:
Topps Baseball
1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1966, 1968, 1969

Topps 1958 Football

Please DM your lists of what you are trying to fill and I will respond first come first serve.

Thanks, Mike
