    That's a pretty amazing set and an otherwise tough year of the 1960s. Congratulations -- a valiant effort.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    Great job Alan! I didn't see any 7's in there either. Are you going to be adding scans of the key cards?

    Thanks for all of the kind words. This set took almost 4 years to complete. It probably took so long due to the fact that bidding against Jim Merill and Joel Gabrelow for 1967's was no fun whatsoever. Thank goodness I got finished before Dave (Stump) got going! image

    As far as what's next... I am actually tinkering with a 1964 Topps Tall Boy Hockey set that really has my interest. The problem with the set is that almost every card is a low population card in PSA 8. The cards don't come up that often in high grade and when they do it's a slugfest.

    Anyways, I am glad that I finished before this years National. I am truly looking forward to catching up with everyone. You guys are all class acts! (with the exception of Eric of couse...and I mean that as a compliment)


    Regards,


    Alan

    Eric...I'm just kidding with you...you are indeed the legend (and a class act)!!! Let me know when you plan to get into AC so that we can hook up. If I am going to live vicariously through you...I need some good stories. If you haven't done anything exciting...I am giving you a whole month to make up something exciting!

    Alan,
    Congratulations! I have no first hand experience with the 67's but as a regular board member have followed the trials and tribulations of its member supporters. Yours is truly an awesome set.
    I have said many times before that I enjoy reading the banter and absorbing specific set related knowledge even if it's not a set I'm involved in. I have learned quite a bit about the 67' set over the last few years in part due to your contributions here on the boards.
    This is just one of the many things the makes the set registry and it's corresponding board great.
    Best of luck as you upgrade or strike out to that next big adventure.

    Oh Alan. Let's see. After the run to New Orleans and the NCAA Hoops title, what have I been up to...
    late-May: Made 2 month anniversary with most recent girlfriend. (Key: Who knows?)
    mid-June: Elected National chairperson of a committee for my professional association. (Key: Top-shelf adult refreshments)
    Last weekend: Cape Cod collecting more research from 2 CCBL squads.
    This weekend: Time with the parents, sister, and niece on a lake in nowhere, ME. The fireworks display does last all of 10 minutes, so no blinking is allowed.
    The rest of July up until A.C.: Refresh mind on Blackjack "Book;" spend hours on my 6 deck simulation program; and keep getting outbid on '67's and '68's.
    BTW--I still haven't got a clue where or if I'm sleeping Thursday night, so I will be looking fine for the luncheon Friday
