Really enjoying following this along. I'm headed out of state for 10 days in a couple of days. When I get back, I'm guessing you'll be through sorting and getting ready to buy whatever needs you have.

I've posted a thread looking for '75s as I'm planning on doing a project like this, but I haven't gotten any response to it. But it's only been a couple of weeks. So hopefully I'll be able to get to work on my set when I get back from vacation. If/when I do, I plan on starting a thread like this.

The run up to 100:

91 Tom Hutton
92 Eduardo Rodriguez
93 Mike Phillips
94 Jim Dwyer
95 Brooks Robinson
96 Doug Bird
97 Wilbur Howard
98 Dennis Eckersley
99 Lee Lacy

Thankfully, this lot is all present and accounted for. Getting the Eck RC in the last lot I got was awesome. It and the Robinson are both solid, condition-wise.

No obvious upgrade candidates here. I have the Eck in PSA 7 already. The Robinson would be a nice one to get in PSA graded condition as well.
