This has been a huge year for me as I completed the 1954 Red Heart set (finished with a generous gift from a board member) and my 1964 topps set.
Even better, I completed my dream set: 1953 topps. The last card I needed was Mays and I bought it from a dealer friend at a great discount. Still, $1,100 is the most I have ever paid for a card by far. I had a couple opportunities for side jobs and my wife was encouraging of me getting at as she understands it was probably now or never. Love this thread and happy hunting

Big time congrats on the Mays and completing 53. I can’t wait to get to that set someday.

Answer: Gene Conley
Question: What was the last card I needed to complete the 56 Topps set - the first 50s set I’ve ever finished? I couldn’t be happier. |

Thanks guys. here is Mr. Mays. Perfect centering and crease free but does have the light staining.

Nice cards Irv and Anthony!
Finished my duplicate 1965 Topps set...really love this iconic set. This is the 4th time I've built this set, and have watched my brother build it twice, so lots of experience around the nuances of this one. Sitting on two of these set is also a lot of fun. While working on 2nd 60's sets I'm also upgrading my other sets to EX+, which is also fun to involve the others. Last time I built this set, Bob Uecker was the last card...this go around...Mr. Perez Rookie. My original is NRMT, so to finish out a nice VG/EX that was priced right was a-ok with me...
