Where am I at now? Charting my progress through building a set

Nice set, and I’m glad you stuck with it. Good luck with the rest!

If you want a low grade mantle PM me. I have one available

This one would be a reject for wdw's set- it has some creasing bottom right.

I got the Yogi from Howard a year ago, he said "Are you sure you want it, it has a wrinkle by his cap." Yup. Thanks, Howard!

I don't mind creases at all, it is funny how one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Nice cards! Nothing wrong with those at all. That creasing is minor and doesn't detract from eye appeal, and I imagine it makes them much more affordable. Well done.

Nice to see someone working this set. I am only at 38 out of 494, but I have Mantle, Koufax, Cepeda, Berra, and Mathews already. So, it will be the next set I start on after I finish one of the other sets I have at 95+% completion.

9/16 Update:
Money spent: $380;
Cards acquired: 70
Not useable/creased: 11

Notes: I went to the small local show that occurs every other month and again bought some cards from Larry Duehly (SP). I spent $380, but I picked up a total of 81 cards. There were 5 stars/HOFers as part of 70 I could use. When I got home and took a closer, though, there were 11 I couldn't use because of creasing. The Robin Roberts was part of that group, so I was a little disappointed there. Also, the Banks had a print line across it, so I'll have to upgrade that at some point.

But after today, I'm within 32 cards of finishing the set. I can't believe I'm this close to it (and to think, I was willing to give it up earlier this week. But I couldn't find a buyer that would take it off my hands). So I'll be looking for the final 32 cards over the next couple of weeks, and hopefully I can finish in the next 4-6 weeks. We go to Disney in Novemeber, and I'd like to be finished by then.

Anyway, these are part of the cards I picked up today. Just scanned some of the bigger ones. Got 70 cards overall for my set. So I'm getting closer. Thanks for the look.
