Enough with the negativity......way to go Alan Cowart(acowa) on your article for PSA.

MBFAM,

I thought you HAD a paying gig?

Nicely written article from a 'techie--go ahead, give away the secrets to setbuilding to everyone

Hope they throw you a pass for the Nat' by inviting everyone to Cleveland

Really, congrats on a job well done.

Acowa- Well done, again.

Very nice article.

Still has to be a large budget though, as even with Acowa's helpful tips, its a very expensive endeavor.

Best part of the article, IMO:

"Quite frankly, a perfectly centered PSA 7 set can have every bit of
naked eye appeal as their PSA 8 & PSA 9 counterparts even though it
may not technically make the higher grade."

GREAT article, Alan! It took me months to gain the same amount of
knowledge you provided in that article. Only thing you did wrong was
you didn't write it two years ago when I started my set -- you could
have saved me a lot of headaches & money!

Speaking of the National... I never thought I'd consider driving 3 hours
just to go to a card convention, but I just might have to go this year...

Best thing about the article was the link that let me know about this discussion list.

Excellent article. Good guidance for those of us on the budget-minded set building road.

Welcome to the boards, Paul! Hopefully we'll get even more knowledgable
collectors on here adding to the discussions (much like yourself) thanks
to those links.

When I brought up the main page to the set registry forum tonight,
I was surprised to see 1967 Topps was such a hot topic all of a sudden.
I see you've found the "search" button, Paul.

By the way, I don't
collect '67's, but I've always thought it was one of Topps finest sets
and that it had the best overall photography in a Topps set. Some day
I might just try it. Good luck with your set!
