New Diamond Stars Collector

[rdixon1208]

Welcome to the board. Diamond Stars is a nice choice. I personally think the set in underrated. The HOFers are also very reasonably priced in my opinion. My only advice would be to not focus too much on the technical grade assigned by PSA etc. If you look hard enough you will find cards that are every bit as nice as what you're looking for in a 4 holder, or raw for that matter. You won't have to pay as much for those. Conversely, if you're looking for a great deal, you will find plenty of cards in a 5 holder that should probably be a 4. You'll get those for less than other nicer 5's, but you're really just paying for the holder. Good luck.

Great choice that shows some originality! I would tackle the high numbers first and the rest will be gravy!

Agreed that it is a great choice. They are one of the most classically beautiful sets of all time. I recently picked up a nice raw Terry for $40 or so. It is one of those sets I have not decided to tackle, but might one day.

+1.
Also, look for the chance to buy these cards in groups to reduce the price per card.

Welcome to a great board ! I also collect this set and think it's fantastic as far as the look of the artwork and the player selection. I have 72 cards to go to complete my set. I don't know if I'll get them all graded or not yet.
