I was just telling stingray a few days ago that maybe next year I'll start my 1965 Topps set graded 8 or better. Well after someone sniped a card off me with 4 seconds left in the auction, I bid on and won PSA 8 Ed Kirkpatrick #393. Now I know that its not much but you have to start somewhere right? I figure maybe I'll grab a common or two a week, then I'll be looking for someone who can help me get the big name cards. Its going to take a while to build but that is part of the fun of collecting. It will be rewarding when its done!!! R.J.

Slow and steady wins the race. Congrats on starting your set. The tough part is finishing it.....

I know when I started my 75s I told myself one or two a week, now it is like 3 or 4 a week. Need to slow down for financial sakes. It is to much fun coming home to a mail box of one or two bubble mailers and ripping them open. It is like Christmas every few days.

Thanks for the link corn! Very useful info. especially the about the commons how they have dropped in price. I picked up the kirkpatrick for $7.99 + $2.00 S&H

Yeah, I know what you mean sting. I tell myself " oh 10 bucks isnt bad for that card. Problem is, I do it four times a week. $40.00 dollars a week sounds so much better than $160.00 a month.

Great thread. Nice to read some important info on cards to pass on to others rather than posts on shill auctions and overpaying for shipping...

Stay away from Stingray, he's a bad influence.
