Since I haven't updated this thread in a while (just monthly pickup posts) within the past few months, including just 4 days ago, I have managed to pick up these highs which now brings my number down to 22 remaining. (all highs) I honestly never thought I'd be able to grab these cards in such a short period, but I guess I got lucky for the most part?

It's been slow numbers-wise over the past few months for my 1967 set build. I've only been able to add 40 cards since my last update in February, BUT many were HOFers so quality has certainly been there: Aaron, Banks, Brock, Drysdale, Cepeda, Ford, Killebrew, Mantle, F Robby, Stargell. I've also added 6 high #s and several leaders, teams, and the tough 7th series checklist. Count stands at 544/609. I need 65 cards and 34 are high #s. No surprise there!

I saw a decent looking PSA 1 Mantle on eBay last week for ~$35k or best offer so prices do seem to maybe be coming back down a little? I just don’t know. Decisions decisions.

Like you are with your Mantle, I am the same way when it comes to Mathews. If I want it, I am going to have give up something else in order to do so. Outside of Mathews, the next big cards for me are Campy, Wilhelm and Dickey. Once those are obtained, the rest should be much easier on the pocketbook. I still need Hal Greg, Randy Jackson, Bubba Church, Warren Hacker, Russ Meyer, Bob Hooper, Hal Jeffcoat, Bob Kelly, Bob Cain, Bob Del Greco, John Kucab, George Crowe, Cookie Lavagetto, Bob Thorpe, Billy Hoeft, Jim Turner, Ebba St Claire and Bob Schultz so I continue to keep my eyes open. It will be nice to someday say I have now completed it, but at the same time, I am going to enjoy the journey.

Great looking high numbers Dale, congrats on getting to 385/ 22 to go. I think you are catching the market at the right time and once you get as close as you are on this set, the completion bug bites and suddenly you end up pushing harder for completion.

I always fall to the "pushing harder" for completion... Really trying to stay patient as I close down some 50's sets...but it's not working well...haha

Thanks to a fellow net54 member I finally closed out the last card I needed for my 55 Topps set. I've had the set before, sold it to fund something else...saw the prices JUMP...now have it again and will be keeping it...
Last card should have been one of the first cards, I try not to save the Mantles or card like this for last...but so it goes sometimes. Stoked to have the Clemente back into my collection! (thanks Chris!)

Decided that I wanted only clean mid-grade cards from top to bottom, because this is going to be a special part of my collection. No wrinkles (except for possibly those close to the corner small diagonal ones) and nice surfaces. Was ready to be as patient as necessary. But, go figure, the perfect Jackie for the set's goals showed up right away (and went for the right price). Sometimes I love BVG 5s and the steep slab discount you get for the great cards that might be in them, and that's what happened. It's on its way. So, now I'm at 6/252  Also have Yogi, Rizzuto, Parnell, and two commons.

I am looking for:
1963 Fleer (vg at best) - #13 J Kindall, # 32 R Santo, #35 B Purkey, #57 E Face, and # 66 B O'Dell. - I stopped looking on ebay because of the near mint prices on vg cards PLUS $8.00 shipping. Nope not going to do that. Also looking for: E47 Jockey's (vg at best) - C Ginistrelli, J Galway, E Corrigan, P D'Arenberg N72 Coins Of All Nations (vg at best) - Corea, England, Peru, Servia The search continues for reasonably priced cards and shipping. Thanks, Bob

I'm working on a 1958 Topps set in mid-grade condition. I've been working on this set for a little over a month and have 277 different. I have many of the stars/HOFers, but I have a few left to get obviously. Am always looking for stuff I don't have if anyone has any extras FT/FS. Here's a few pictures.

3 more needed from '61 Topps:
472 Berra MVP, 573 Boyer AS, 576 Maris AS 5 more from '70 Kelloggs, which might be my favorite set of any set: 12 Mays, 16 May, 18 Reichardt, 21 B. Robinson, 27 Clemente, 71a Gibson (1959 IP blank) I could not believe how much the Mays and Clemente go for now. I have a lot of Kelloggs from the '70s to trade. Also if anyone is only missing one or two from a '76-'84 Topps baseball set and it's not Nolan Ryan or a Murray rookie or something like that, let me know. If I have it, it's yours.

I decided I'd quit whining about prices and just go out and do what I could to finish off the '67 Topps SPs I needed. I managed to track down five of the seven in reasonable shape at decent (relatively) prices. A couple, Clendenon and Tommy John, are nice samples of tough cards and I got lucky on the eBay auctions. I'm down to Mike Shannon and the Rod Carew rookie. I've got bids in on a few Shannons. Hoping to continue my luck.
The best thing that's happened since I last hit this thread was finishing my '62 Post Cereal baseball set. At least I think I have. The last card, Gary Geiger, another hard-to-find SP, came from a source I'd never connected to vintage cards, Amazon. Last Friday, after my weekly fishing for Geiger expedition on eBay I decided to widen my net a bit and just googled the card and clicked the Google shopping tab on the results. Geiger popped up ON AMAZON for about $8 plus shipping. I couldn't hit 'buy' fast enough. In all the years I've been buying cards online I've never considered Amazon as a place to check. I'm still not 100% sure the deal is real but Amazon says my order shipped Saturday. We'll see what happens.

Technically, I finished my 1972 Topps Baseball set on Friday, it's just a matter of waiting for everthing to arrive, about 17 cards from different sellers.
I've been working on a 70 Topps set as well, but that has progressed at a slower pace. I need 144 cards altogether, the majority between 460 - 680; 104 cards within these numbers to be exact. In addition I'm missing Bench, Munson, Rose, Gamble, many HOF All-Star cards, and the Pilots team card.

The SP highs I can see being quite a challenge, but luckily I'm in no hurry. I already have sprinkled in a decent mix of stars to keep me interested!
