Peter,

Thanks--I'll put in a call to Major League Baseball--maybe Bud Selig would take a day off from his Barry Bonds tour to see me.

Wesley,

Thanks for posting the link.

Jim, I imagine they encompass a wide range, but what makes up your 150 plus ungraded sets?

Peter,

Probably at lease 350 sets.

Kelloggs sets from the 60s, coin sets from 60s, hockey sets from the 60s , non-sports sets from 50s-60s, then baseball, football, basketball and hockey sets from the 70s and 80s. I think I have every mainstream set from 1969-91 and none of it is graded. Then golf, bowling sets--51 Berk Ross, Tons among tons of minor league sets from the 70s and 80s.

Jim, you don't by chance have a 2005 Lincoln Saltdogs set do you?

I'm never going to find that set!!!

I get the picture, Chad. Be assured that I will advise you, if I come across a Pat Scantlebury in a place which you could miss.

And don't forget that I do not have a Clarkson nor a Trouppe yet.

Jim,

'33 Goudey Sport Kings is my favorite multi-sport set. The fact that it includes Jim Thorpe and Babe Dedrickson makes it a great set.

I've vasilated many times over the direction of my collecting habits...but now settled on a type collection..you can't get bored because all the cards look different..and you can always mix in the common players with the occasional HOF for a little variety..and if you're not a condition freak you can get still get some nice cards at reasonable prices...

Btw..wow I did see Jim C's PSA collection in the magazine...what a great set up! And its very cool that he's willing to share it with other collectors instead of locking them up in vaults and never seen by anyone except the owner...
