I am getting ready to start the 1954 Topps set in PSA 6-7 condition. I wanted to get some advice from all of you on your experience with this set. Any type of advice or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks Dilferaff

I put "commons" in the title of this thread, but I am actually asking about the set as a whole. Thanks Dilferaff

I have a suggestion. Email or call me. I can get you started with a sweet lot of mostly 7's and a few 6's. Here's what I have:

I have built a set in PSA 7 with a few 8's...it's listed on the registry.

I am nearly done with the set in raw condition. I tried to pick up cards that would grade in the PSA 5-7 range.

This is not an easy set unless you are ready to spend big money quickly. The advice I would give you is be patient. That set has a plethora of cards and they come up often. So if one card is out of your price range then pass. Another one will show up in no time.

There are some tough cards: the Woodling, Power, Buster Mills, Ben Wade and some of the Short printed cards. So picking those up in the right condition could be a challenge. The HOF player selection is wonderful and plentiful. So like I said before be patient and know what you want to pay.

Putting this set together has been a joy for me that has taken 3 years. I think it is one of the best sets with the most color (not wacky color like 1972). The player selection is great and it isn't a super large set.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Dilferaff:

Good luck with the set. If you are going to any major shows (Sports Fest, National, San Francisco, Fort Washington), please look for me at Setbuilders as I typically carry a good run of cards in that grade raw.

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I am definitely going to take my time and not try to put this set together in one year. I typically focus on football and basketball, but I wanted to put together a vintage baseball set, and this is one I figured would be the one to go with. It is not to large, and has a great selection of players. Hopefully I will be able to find some bargains in the up coming year. Thanks again
