I finally finished my 65 Philly football set.
Am still working on the other 3 Philly years, but I had to share this accomplishment and thank all the fellow footballers on these boards who have helped me out. From Peter Lalos (who sold me my last card #192 J. Nisby), to Dave Pacha (who always gives me a heads up when he sees a card that I need). Duncan (pack_collector) who also always kept a lookout for the cards I needed, and other dealers/collectors such as NearMint, Mint state, Itzagoner (from Ebay) and last but not least Frank Evanov (who has been the nicest/easiest person to deal with, or is that Mary
If I left anyone out I apologize. The bottom line though is that I would never had completed this set or be as advanced in my other sets, if it wasn't for the friendship and camarderie of the participants on this board. I'm always looking to upgrade and I still need to finish my other football sets, so keep in touch guys!

I love that set.
Now go and complete the 66 Philly set for 2 clapping smiley's
Loves me some shiny!
Kudos! I would like to recognize some of the same people you did as they are a great source for vintage FB and generally a good group of guys.
Good Luck in the other sets.
If you are working on the 1964 set, I can offer the following NM cards: 139 Eagles Team, 157 Colchico, 167 49ers Team, 195 Redskins Team. Let me know if you have any SF 49ers cards from the 1965-1967 Philly sets<
thank you,
Mike
Now i guess you will be closing in on me on the 67 phillys

Anything i can do to get you past the MOSH empire
Always looking for 1957 Topps BB in PSA 9!
Well did Frank ! Those Philly sets are a beeich.
Also, any collector that can put Fuzzdude in their rearview mirror on a set has earned my eternal respect ...

How long from start to finish?
Good question. I would say about 2 1/2 years. I could have finished this set sooner but I was working on quite a few sets at the same time and I wasn't as aggressive in the early months of building the set. Once I began to realize which cards were tough and which weren't, I was able to adjust my bidding.
I'm one card away from finishing the 64 Philly set too. If anyone has card #110 M. Tinglehoff in PSA 7, 8 or 9, I'm a buyer.

The NFL signed its exclusive contract with Philadelphia Gum Co in the mid-60s leaving Topps with the lesser establish AFL. The Philly sets feature the dominant stars of the 60s including those great Packers, Browns, and Colts teams. We are breaking the former #7 set on the PSA Registry - lots of low pops and some key 9s too!
