Set Collectors - Report in your progress!

[LuckyLarry]

1955 Topps Doubleheaders: I always liked this set, but never got serious about collecting it until last years National Convention in Atlantic City. I picked up 19 cards for $150 or $8 each, and I've been adding cards since then. Todays mail brought three more cards (9/10 Porter Kipper) (33/34 Pendleton Conley) (53/54 Herman Amoros) in beautiful condition $20 each but tax $4.78 and aggressive shipping of $9.87 (ouch) pushed up the total. I'm 75% complete with 49 of the 66 cards (and needing most of the stars).

Good lucky Larry. When done check out the panoramic stadium pics when the backs are placed side by side in reverse numerical order

[LuckyLarry]

THX Al, I'd like to see that panoramic stadium picture if you or someone else has one available.

I said backs, I should have said fronts in reverse order. I did it once with my set but it is now all in a binder in numerical order. Someone, maybe Bob, once posted the panorama in a thread in here. Will try to find that

Very nice, Larry. One of the great things about this site, we get a chance to see some neat cards.

Recently picked up the last two commons I needed for a '54 Bowman set. Now just needing five more - some guys named Mantle, Williams, Mays, Doby and Feller.

Wow 3 sets! Congrats. Good luck with your search for your 66 set.
