<< <i>Arny, do you bust a lot of pax and submit or pick them up on the bay? Or both? >>
Very rarely do I submit my own. Especially with the '85s. Just jump over to the '85 Topps Football thread and read up on the stories of cards that looked great coming back as 8s. So, I just wait to see the 9s pop up and pick them up at affordable prices. Now that I've crossed the 50% mark, it's getting harder and harder to find 'affordable' 9s though. But, it's a great set with very good investment potential (IMO).
Thanks for the good luck wishes....we'll need 'em!

So where are you guys in the set? I don't know it. How many cards? >>
I'm sitting in 6th finest with nearly 53% complete. All 9s aside from the one PSA 10 that I got recently. Here's the link to the set registry... 1985 Topps Football Set Registry ...and here's the link to the thread that we discuss things on ... '85 Topps Football Thread .
The set has 396 cards, black borders, 2nd year cards of Marino & Elway, rookie cards of Richard Dent & Warren Moon (a few other rookie cards like Mark Clayton, Irving Fryar & Mike Munchak) and tough cards of a lot of players.... especially "Sweetness" Walter Payton. Just a beautiful set with a couple of decent subsets within it and very good player selection throughout. I advise everyone to jump on it if you are a football fan and a sportscard fan.

That's a great looking Duke... Why did you only get a 7?
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
Stown, Unfortunately the Duke has a stain on his crotch (I'm serious); otherwise I think he would have graded a 9.
Mike, I bought the Duke 7 years ago at a show in Atlanta (did not see the stain then); I paid way too much for the 59 Kill in a BVG 8.5 holder and just cracked it for PSA; the 2 mint cards I won raw recently on ebay.
My collecting interests are all over the map. The wife thinks I have too many sets on the stove at once. Anyway, here are a few new additions ( some recently back from PSA and some from eBay ):
Nice stuff you all have been posting here recently! Keep 'em coming.
Looking for a Glen Rice Inkredible and Alex Rodriguez cards
Yes I'm building the 56 Adventure set. I'm now at 94% complete. Been at it for a while now. I tend to start a number of sets and then just pick up cards here and there for them when I can at the right price. With multiple sets on the burner I don;t feel obligated to pay crazy prices as another card will eventually show up and when dry spells for one set hits a waterfall hits on another
Looking for a Glen Rice Inkredible and Alex Rodriguez cards
halo, that 500 club subset is a nice collection, good luck on that. Do you have the Ruth? Also, the PSA 9 on the American Beauty is a great grade, forget the OC. A 9 on a card over 60 years old is amazing.
Popped my nonsport vintage cherry about a week ago and now I've popped my sports vintage cherry.
Can't wait to get this in a PSA slab (obviously it WON'T come back a 3). When it comes to that, do I have to crack the card or can I just send it in "as is" and they'll remove it and slab it themselves?

Edited to add: The scan kind of sucks so in case you can't read it it's a 1910 T218 Champions - Prize Fighter Jack Johnson
Wow X, that's an awesome Jack Johnson. I'll def when my money is good start to add some of these boxing cards to my collection.

Thanks Mike. I haven't decided yet if I'll pursue the entire set but I just couldn't pass up a chance for a hundred-year-old card of a boxing legend for the price I did.

PS. FYI Mike, I stole this thread idea for the nonsport forum. Hope you don't mind. I've always read this thread even before I registered in the forum and was curious to see what nonsport treasures everyone would post up.

That forum was spearheaded by Lee aka Speeder I believe - he requested it from CU.
I was one of the first people to post there.
Mark aka Morrell, Steve aka Winpitcher e.g. post a lot back then.
I stopped because no one had interest in what I was collecting at the time.
I have a lot of one of kind items from the Toppsvault - but no one responded to my posts - so I stopped going over there.
I don't collect modern nonsport - I like the old movie star sets from England along with a lot of the original Topps art that are on the backs of the nonsport cards.
I'll go over and take a look. thanx for the info mike

Couldn't agree more with you Mike. I guess you could say I recently got back into the hobby but I had no idea what I wanted to collect. That was until I discovered all the old English tobacco cards of cinema stars. Just bummed there were no Orson Welles issues.
I've seen that image of The Mick from Mike's postcard. I think Kit Young had it on the cover of his catalog about 15 years ago. Anyone know it's vintage? Just idle curiosity. With his pants legs and general youth, I'm thinking '55 or so.
Picked this lovely item (from the Cameo Cards eBay store) up at the post office Monday.
I've been really lazy and lax about scanning posting pics of stuff that I've picked up the last couple of months. I'll try to do better.
I'm not totally devoid of coin experience. A friend provided me with a few of these back around 1992. There was a reason this set was significant - but I don't remember why? Something to do with the alloy?
It says "Proof Set" on the sleeve - not for sure what that means - it's in a plastic holder...
My guess? After being entombed - these coins have not seen direct daylite, sunlite, moonlite, Israelite or any other kind of lite?
Does anyone collect proof sets? One thing fer sure, if I'm hard up and need to get a coke out of the vending machine - I know where to go.
That is an abomination. I search everyday on stupid eBay and I never came across that auction. That is hands-down the finest set I've seen of those and you should be proud. With condition that good my only concern is that they're not authentic but the seller looks good.
I've seen a couple of Ghallagher sets like that in the last year (probably three or so) in that condition. Are they not reprints? I mean, those things look better than pack fresh cards!
Congrats on those and good luck on the slabbin'!

Here are some of what I got back. I think they graded fairly well considering they have been in 9 pocket pages for almost 20 years. Hopefully they bring me a few bucks to help fund cards I do not have. Raw is good enough for me so I will be grading all my duplicates. Is it best to eBay these or get about 100 graded cards together and dump them on a major auction house?
Always looking for interesting Don Mattingly and New York Yankees related items.
Just got this original 1969 Photo of Reds greats Ted Kluzewski, Tony Perez, and Lee May. Just really like the colors and candid nature of the photo. Big Klu sure does look big in this photo.

Just started this set so I am not even at 10%. But agree with Arny that this set has very good potential.
Here are a few I just got back from PSA:
My ebay listings
Kurt - where do you find those beauties! Great grades.
Mike - those a sweet Rose RC - and yes...great centering - eye appeal of off the chart! Congratulations.
mike
Kurt: those are some razor sharp cards there - were they raw or regrade/crossovers?
Bosox1976
The Drysdale is pretty nice looking (much nicer than the scan). I may see if I can get the card graded as well (it should be a 6).
Mike, I bought the Duke 7 years ago at a show in Atlanta (did not see the stain then); I paid way too much for the 59 Kill in a BVG 8.5 holder and just cracked it for PSA; the 2 mint cards I won raw recently on ebay.
