I just finished 1958 Topps. The last card was #310 - Ernie Banks. Next up is (God help me) 1967. I already have 75% of the non-high numbers, but only 7 of the 76 high numbers.

Congrats on finishing the 58 set. By the time I get enough courage to work on the 67 set I think I'll be in the same boat with basically needing to finish off the high number cards. I'm starting to look at both 66 and 67 as four sets and not two with the high sets being their own special challenge or something else.

I did 66 and 67…..67 seemed harder with the highs selling for more And I didn’t learn my lesson and did 2 more sets after the first lol. 66 wasn’t really hard some dumb highs but nothing to make you jump off a roof.
I’m now 9 cards away from finishing 1961 topps set…..average high common….20-30 range in Exmint or better……just remember to have fun Last edited by Elberson; 04-15-2024 at 12:31 AM. |

Congrats on finishing the 58s! 67 is a fun challenge, I've done it twice...patience is the key. Interesting that Banks was your last card...mine was the Aaron/Mantle...I kept getting outbid, very popular card.
66, 67, now 61...great work Elberson...even a couple years past the journey it's still fun to go back and look through the journey!

I don't remember specifically which one it was, but the Aaron/Mantle was one of the last 5. My experience was much the same with that one. Funnily enough, the first 1958 card I got was the individual Mantle, which I bought 12 years ago before prices went nuts. I think I paid around $100 for a card in G condition and it was the most I had paid for a card up to that point. Seems quaint now.

Nice job finishing the 58 set. Enjoy the hunt with those 67s.

Only 3 mantles away from finishing off my 1961 topps set……small mountain to climb lol but doable…..I might go back and do another 1965 set since I have a lot of extras and complete 5th-7th series already…..than maybe 68 or 69 set?

1961 topps set is complete!!!! The last card finally arrived from authentication. Having the last 3 cards needed being mantles sucked but I was able to take my time and get all 6’s……not really a hard set to complete. The highs are dumb prices and stars aren’t that bad. Fun set but I think 66 was harder….im doing another 65 set with only 13 more to go and than 69 topps is next
