Topps 1964 Supers ? Small set, affordable, great looking, and lots of star power

The 2 sets I would love to do are the 1964 Topps Stand Ups and the 1971 Greatest Moments. Both out of my price range.
However, the 1964 Topps Supers are a possibility. |

Still need 2 cards to finish my 61 Topps baseball set. Show in town tomorrow, hopefully I'll find them.
Congrats on the 63 Fleer set. |

I know I've posted here a couple of times bout my 1958 Topps set. But I've got some bad news this time. I am 1 card away from finishing, however, I've got to give the set up and sell it.
We were informed last week while on vacation in Disney World that my wife's job had been terminated. Long story, but they decided to terminate her instead of paying her the 2 weeks of vacation time she was due. So she's out of a job right now at Christmas time, so I'm having to sell my starter set (I've already got it listed in the BST for $965, but it surprisingly hasn't drawn a bit of interest to this point). I'm hoping it sells pretty quickly. I guess if she can find a new job fairly quickly that I won't have to sell and can, maybe, finish it. But for now, I've got to stop building my 1958 Topps set and let it go. Sad news as I hate being so close and not being able to finish.

I finished series 3 of my 1972 Topps set this evening. Onto series 4, 5, & 6 now. I am sitting at 593/799. That includes the variations that I know about.

Picked up Grady Hatton, George Metkovich, and Bob Lemon to put me at 272/310 of the 1952 Topps low number set. The only "big" names remaining are Phil Cavaretta, Billy Loes, and Johnny Sain. The majority of the rest are the short prints between 260-280. Chipping away at it!

I first put this set together in the late 80's/early 90's. Then my son put it together several years ago as a first foray into vintage cards. Since then, he and I have been working on a signed set and am down to three cards - Clemente, Farrell and Mays. Been holding steady at -3 for a while now.

After picking up a large lot from Wheatland Auction, I'm down to just 3 cards to complete the 1971 Topps Greatest Moments set - Perez, Bench and Murcer.

Picked up the 1955 and 1956 Yankee team cards to "finish" my "set" of 1947-66 Exhibit cards. I've got all the confirmed checklisted cards, which is where I'm stopping. I'm not going for sepia/b&w variations or the differences in the lengths of the Printed in USA or Made in USA legends like whiteymet.

I made a lot of progress on 1959 Topps on Black Friday/Cyber Monday on COMC. I don't have many hall of famers, but I'm at 27/66 of the high numbers.
1959 Topps 213/572 37.2%

Completed the 1972 set, which means I have the Topps run from 1970 to present day finished. On to the 60s!
