Thanks! I would encourage you to do the same...there's some great guys on here and seems everyone is willing to help when possible. Good luck on those sets...

Default 59
59 is a GREAT set, might start one. Loaded with HOFers, color, vintage look, and pretty affordable. Just wanted to let you know there is a guy on SGC card forum named BBO and this set is the ONLY one he collects. Occasionally he sells extras just thought you might want to contact him. Not sure about his $'s but can't hurt to contact him. BTW-you have to consider '57 set that is the best of the 50s sets IMO

Hey Patrick...yeah...I've really enjoyed putting this one together...I'm on the verge of landing a Gibby, so I'm getting closer to done! Good luck with your set and enjoy. As for '57, I love that set and will likely try to put together a Dodgers team set...last year in Brooklyn! I'm not on the SGC forum, but will check it out...thanks for the lead...Matt

Matt,

How has it been collecting the '54 topps set? It looks like a great set to put together. Lots of colorful and beautiful cards. I am thinking PSA 7 or better. Which I am sure will end up being all 7's! Is centering a major issue in the 54 set?

I'm enjoying it...completely doable in 7...definitely some tough cards to find in high grade, though...plus I like that there is no mantle...was never a big fan and hate to pay a premium. It's a great set and one I recommend anyone to try...And yes, centering can be a pain...

Thanks to BasherBoy for helping me knock off two rookies, including the big one...Bob Gibson. This has been an incredibly difficult card to find both decently centered and at a price I could stomach..I'm very happy with this one...the third card is a raw Mazeroski All Star...sorry no image.

I find centering to be a really big issue on that set especially on the Banks Rookie.
