This set was much tougher than I thought. There are 4/5 super tough cards in PSA 8 that I still do not have.

And the legendary centering!

As a Packer fan I was originally going to build just the Packer team set, then I thought I would add the Raiders because
they are the only other team with the horizontal format (SB teams), then I added a few stars, then Art, then.....you know how it is

Special thanks to Art Miller and Brad Lyon.


added: #2 spot, was #1...then I was MOSHED!

added2: Three dealers were used to fill the holes, when they had inventory:

Mint State
NearMint
Champs&Bums

Loves me some shiny!

    Congratulations!

    I started my '85 Topps Football set the same way. I was just going to collect the Packers & Bears team sets (PSA graded), but fell in love with the entire set.

    Congrats ! I've always liked the clean look of that set,
    but I have to again state my running complaint about hiding sets and not adding pics. image

    Looks like the days may be numbered for Art's set to remain atop the 1968 All-Time Finest list.

    NICE JOB Randall i am glad i could help your quest a little. the set as much tougher then you think going into it as you said many tough cards.

    Speaking of a tough 1 i have a sweet beckett 8 of jerry smith just beggin to cross to psa if i let it go i promise to keep you in mind. But with that said he is a redskin and you know i dont give those up to often image

    Wolf no my all time set has been passed already by the mighty mosh but since he bought just about my whole set it only took a couple to pass me.

    But never fear i will bet $ on it our own Mr Mike will someday have the lead ever hear the turttle and the hare story image Mike you can count on any hard to come by nines i run into you will have 1st shot at.
    and i do still have a wee bit on real nice raw ones stashed away image

    By the way my fellow 60,s fans dont count old skinsfan out just yet. I can promise you i will resurface some the only question is where image

    IN THE MEAN TIME

    MASH THE MOSH

    I NOW FEEL FOR FUZZimage
