I was wondering the same thing about the Doyle.

It was unreal. The guy was in an average law firm, making average money but was a huge card collector in the 70s. He bought the entire set NM for like 30K or something like that. Oh and he had a complete NM 33 Goudey set as well in his office. I was dizzy when I left.

Not raw, but in 2004 Brian Seigel had a T206 set where all the cards were graded either PSA 8 or 9, including the trimmed Wagner. But obviously he sold it

Really very nice set! I have 518 of them but you have mine beat to shit, with only a couple of exceptions. PS I too avoid off center and any back damage. Mine too are beautifully raw! dave. How many do you have and what biggies are you missing?

Doug,
That looks like a beautiful set. Mine is also mostly raw. I got the HOFs graded a couple of years ago and they averaged about EX 5s.

Mercy! That is a gorgeous set. My set is raw but all I wanted was an example of each card so I have back damage on some and some creasing. But seeing yours makes me wonder why I spend all that money on commons or fair-good examples.

Beautiful collection

Better than mine. I am missing 88 cards and I have worked on it for 7 years. Mine is also mixed with graded cards. I like my prewar to show some age

Thanks for the compliments guys. I started in january of 08, so almost 4 years now. I have 500 cards so I'm missing just 21. 4 southerns, a couple minors and some low end HOFers. My O'Hara looks ok but does have a pinhole if anyone can upgrade me. Demmitt is vg'ex and so is elberfeld wash. Having a hard time with the Dahlen, Brooklyn.

Wow, really nice set. I prefer raw as well as it seems they are more personal then slabbed cards. Maybe because you can touch an smell them vs. picking up a plastic case.

Did you buy these all raw? Or did you release some from their plastic prison?

[Phillies*phan]

A few of the tougher ones were graded. Elberfeld, and the magie was just on ebay. I could here him sigh when he was cracked out

[Tim Fritz]

Awesome looking near set. Makes me think I should take mine out of the individual protectors and put them in pages.

I have a raw set that I've been upgrading, and/or adding tougher backs to for many years. It's still not as nice as yours. It takes such a long time for me cuz it's really just a back burner project. I figure I'll just keep upgrading it....forever.

Very nice accomplishment! Raw cards are more fun in my opinion.
