I just picked up the last of the Mantle cards for my 61 set. Down to 84 cards total 37 of which are hi numbers. I'm hoping to complete this set by the end of the year.

With the last few '56 and '57 commons on the way, my Topps '50s run is now complete

BTW...I took my time on the highs, knew what I wanted to pay and after multiple snipes I eventually put them all together in really nice shape at the price I wanted to pay. Where I probably over paid was some of the AS cards at the end...Ford, Brooks, Kaline...I just bought BINs that were a stretch...should have had more patience. I always get ancy at the end...

I love your '60s collection. If you combine it with my '50s, we have....well still not as much great stuff as Al Richter (damn him), but still something awful good

Can't wait to hold the 6000th card! My last 70's card was 1971 Don Baylor RC...never will forget that.

I'm nowhere near in the '60s and '70s. Have a '67, '71, '73, '75, '78. Loooong way to go. Plus those are most of my favorites from the era, so not nearly as much motivation |

You certainly have a great start...67 is the big boy and 71 is ROUGH. I'd recommend you do the 66 set...I believe the highs are still not at the value they should be, and I think that set is completely underated. Love that set, and would compliment your 67!

Finished my 1960 Topps set...finally! Got sniped 5 times on the 561 Al Kaline AS and finally scored a nice one. Focus now is on the 1964 Topps...one step closer to the 60's being complete. I feel like I am competing with twice as many set collectors than last year...haha. Good for the hobby, tough on us!

Was just able to find exactly the deal on the kind of '70 set that I hoped to (which is not easy, as it's fairly popular and can be tough to find at a price that's fair vs. the underlying breakup value). So now halfway through the '70s, and it's the five that I prefer the most. Motivation to get the rest will be lacking |
