1960 Topps? I'll check that out. Thanks!

Good thing you didn't take out that 2nd, you would have never found one (SL with Drum back)

Welcome, you will love it here- always nice to see another T206 collector join the board !!!

Welcome to the boards. '57 is an outstanding set, all it's missing is a Killebrew. I built the '56 Topps set after I joined here.

Not sure if you're into autos/memorabilia, but I got into it after joining and have really enjoyed it. And I've learned SO MUCH!

I did find a SL T206 with a Newport back? Is that authentic? I got a good deal on it... (more sarcasm)

I think the '57 might be my new challenge. We'll see what I stumble on at the Jersey Show tomorrow.

This probably should be a new thread, but what's with "sets" these days? Does anyone follow the new generation stuff or I am among people with the same mindset that things are a little out of control? I picked up some 2010 Bowman just for shits, thought they looked interesting and started checking out the "set" composition...Chrome, Platinum, Draft Picks, Prospects, Refractors, Blue Refractors Auto, on and on...how is anyone supposed to build sets these days? I guess that's why I'm here and long for the old days when a set was a set...

Old man venting is over.
