it's been 5 years since I updated my 1978 OPC set. It is now officially finalized. It has a rating of 10.066. As far as I could tell it is the oldest highest graded 100% finished OPC set of All-time. It took a long time to finish, but It's completed. i will try to upgrade a few here and there, but it's very difficult to locate ones I don't already have. Just thought I would share.
highlights of the set
both pete rose's psa 10
Card #2 Nolan Ryan /phil niekro PSA 10 pop 2

and many good players with 10's.
Work hard and you will succeed!!

That is an amazing set. Congrats on such an accomplishment in such high grade…quite impressive!
Great job! Congratulations.
Nicely done.
when did u first start on the journey?
It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972)
Incredible accomplishment. Well done!!!
Congratulations! That is a huge accomplishment. Nice job!
Wow. That is an amazing accomplishment. Good on you and post those Roses!
i'll try.
congratulations!! that is some dedication to keep at it for 12 years.

well -- I had it completed several years ago but I just never took the time to log them in. The last time I logged one in was in 2019. So I kind of had it done but not officially. So it took about 8 - 9 years.
Congrats! I've always liked the 78's and did the Topps set. When I retired it in 2008 it had 107 PSA 10 cards, 615 PSA 9 cards, and only 4 PSA 8 cards with a GPA of 9.27. I couldn't imagine trying to put together an OPC set in such high grade. The quantity just isn't out there.
Thanks Bruh!!!
What are you going to do with it ? Sell and start a new project? Keep it and start a new project?
Wow, congrats. I'm working on a 200 card set and it's painstaking. I can't imagine a larger one.
awesome
I love OPC cards.

Keep it and try to upgrade when I can. i won't spend a lot of time on it. THe geronimo is only a 4, I have a couple other raw ones should be able to boost that. Rice is a 7. So here and there I will look to upgrade.
I have quite a few of the 1979 and 1980 OPC sets already started. I have a few of the 1979 posted in the registry, but not all of the ones I have. SO those 2 are feasible. 1979 is very tough.
I love grading grades so I will continue grading what I have and pick up others. FYI, the OPC cards are not graded the same way they were 8 years ago. It used to be if the cards was centered and the surface wasn't to bad you would get an 8 or 9. But SGC and PSA have tighten it up. Hard to get a 9 from either.
Congratulations!
I couldn't even get around to finishing a 63F BB set of 67!
That's dedication buddy!
Have you got pics of your favorites to post? Would like to see.
i don't have any pics, at least for now.thanks
Congratulations!
