New 1961 Topps Autographs PSA registry set

pab1969

My request was finally approved! I requested 1961 Topps Autographs baseball set. Originally I was only going with the world series theme (Pirates and Yankees autos) but I ended up purchasing a few hall of fame players. So I scrapped the world series and started the entire year as a registry set. Currently I am #1 (it is nice to be on top!) but I know that won't last long. So to all my fellow 1961 Topps auto collectors, welcome!

Good luck in your endeavor! I will have to check out your set. I currently do not have any 1961 Topps signed cards in my HOF registry set, so I am not able to join in at the moment.

Wow, sounds like an awesome project! Is there a link to your set? I’d like to drool, but also I might have 1 or 2 that would help.

Thanks, but I only have just over 4% completed at this time. I couldn't believe that there wasn't a registry set made for autos of that year.

Thanks. The only link I have is my set name PAB1969. It is the only set for 1961 Topps autographs at this time. Any help would be appreciated.

Best of Luck Phil!

Do you have a list of "tough" autos - perhaps people who died early on and may be impossible to pick up?

Do you know some people who are also attempting to do the entire set?

I looked at the Grote - so I'm guessing you'll just go with "authentic" on the autos with no grades of them?

Are you gonna pick them up raw and get graded or just buy graded cards?

Hello and thanks Mike. For now, I am purchasing autos of hall of fame players and continuing on my world series theme but I figured I would start a registry so that anyone who had any 61 autos could join in. I am not too particular if they are graded or not. However, I will only purchase red flips. I haven't thought about purchasing raw because there seems to be a steady flow of graded ones for sale. Maybe as the set progresses along I will reconsider. As for tough autos I don't have a list, I am sure there are going to be difficult challenges ahead with many autos. I don't personally know of any other people trying to complete the set. I am hoping there are many other collectors out there because looking at my name being number one all time and on the current registry lists is too funny. Phil

Hi Phil, I think I have several you could use, but they’re raw and I saw your note about not buying any for your set unless they’re already PSA slabbed with red flips. Does this apply to trades too? I would consider trading mine for similar raw autos. If that interests you, please pm me. If you’re not interested in buying or trading, no problem.

Hello. I have no other autos other than the 1961's in my set or I would have traded with you. Thanks anyway, Phil.
