I've been submitting to SGC as I acquire, and now need to submit two more. Tonight I FINALLY locked down the last card I needed, ironically not even one of the well known rare cards (Howard, Skowron...)...but Irv Noren...finally got Irv Noren!!!





I'm going to have a custom hanging display case made so I can have them on the wall of my office. I just love the photography, classic era shots. This was by far the longest I've ever worked on a set...over 2 years. Didn't think I would ever finish!!

For the purists, I completed the 41 card checklist. I went after the variations with different photo's poses, but I did not go after the different size and location of the autographs. Way too big of a rabbit hole...

Congrats. Always a great feeling to finish a set.

Working on 1962 Topps. Poor/low grade/beaters, within reason. Don't really want anything in tatters. Creased and worn is fine. A raw set just to have. Don't care one iota about perfect condition or investment or grading or variations or any of that. I am now at 428 out of 598. Not bad after really going on this back in March. But I already had the stars and HOFers. Little did I know about the 7th series going in, but I do now!
