Just thought I'd like to share with the group what I have been collecting recently.
I am still learning the ropes here, so please bare with me. If this post is not in the correct forum or is not appropriate, please let me know.
I'm working on a Pete Rose Basic Set.....Topps first, then I will Donruss and Fleer later. I just started this past week or so...
Here's what I've got so far:
1965 Topps PSA 8
1971 Topps PSA 8
1977 Topps PSA 9
1978 Topps PSA 9
1983 Topps PSA 9
1984 Topps PSA 9
Not too bad so far..wish I was a little further along though. Comments welcome.
Thanks for letting me share,

Nice start to the set.
Good luck with your Rose collection.........
You said in your other thread about only collecting Rose Topps cards..........since the Rose basic set also has Fleer and Donruss cards, you might consider collecting them...............There is a total of ten of them ( Donruss and Fleer ) and they cannot be that expensive.......or hard to find
just a thought......

Yes, I did originally plan on just Topps....but for it to be a "true" Basic collection, I will include the Donruss and Fleer cards in the near future.
For those collecting Rose cards for the Master Set i will be sending 30+ cards from the 80's at the end of June on the current special. I am sending in some 200 cards. Another 40+ will be Nolan Ryan. Those will be 80's cards as well. All of these i would expect to either 9 or 10. But we know how that goes. These cards will help those trying to fill in the gaps on their Master Sets. With PSA taking about a 2 month avg, figure August/September for return. I will follow up once they come back then.

<< <i>That's a great start to the set. I'm a Rose collector although not on the registry sets. I've been collecting Rose stuff on and off since the early 80's. Here's what I have scanned so far (haven't gotten to the Fleer, Donruss, or many of the odd ball stuff yet):

The site is pretty fun. I like to change it from time to time. I use a shareware app called JAlbum and it makes it seriously easy to create some neat functioning sites. If anyone has any questions about it, feel free to pm me or email me at evilkev @ gmail.com.

Good on ya for entering your set in the registry. There is a cheap thrill in watching your set slowly rise up the ladder. You may never reach the top of the heap......along the way you will meet most of your fellow set collectors, who more then likely will help you built your set.....and later on you can help those below you.....
Have fun........

Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972
RedRomad - The #3 is great...Congrats.
TennesseeBanker - Thanks, I will definately be in touch.
JMoran19 - Nice pulls on those cards!!
Lostdart - That's what I hope...to one day be in a position to help some other collector
I've been collecting Nolan Ryan for about 13 years. Last year I started collecting Pete Rose and found that he has almost as large a variety of cards as Ryan does. He also has no new cards coming out so in the long run if someone is persistant there is a chance of completing a collection of all or nearly all his cards, unlike Ryan who has new cards coming out every few months.
Do you collect PSA Rose cards only or do you collect oddball cards that are not in the registry? When I get a chance I will post a picture of the 1988 Rose Experimental Cloth card.
Good Luck in your venture....Donato

I'd be interested in taking a look at that one. Not really sure how far away from my original goal I want to stray at this time...but I never say never

Thanks
To those of you that are more "versed" in PSA graded cards....what are your opinions of this one? Could I do better? And should I hold out for better?
Thanks
Donato, that's a cool card for a late 80's card, the experimental cloth. I'm guessing there weren't many of those produced. Not speaking for the others, but I definitely collect Rose cards that aren't in the registry like the 68 Action All Star Sticker, the 73 Candy lid, and hopefully, someday, the 67 Punchout.

Hey. I sent you an email about the 88 Cloth Rose. Just waiting for a response.
Thanks
Welcome EB31,
Glad you came over to "The" boards J/k a little, but really
you'll find some of hobbies Best, Brightest and Most helpfull right here.
Oh yeah, and some eye-popping subs!!
Looks like you've got quite a good thread going, with some real knowledgeable hobby vets.
Hard to stay the course though..I see they're already tempting you with some great cards...lol
I know better.. you're pretty focused.
Seriously, I've added some very nice test & regional issues to my collection, a few I had no idea even existed until mentioned here. Now they reside in my lock-box.
Sometimes, heck many times, I have to click a different tab because of information overload.
Take care, and enjoy the ride.

Great to see someone I know here .....and I'm also having a great time starting to get to know everyone else. Already, this seems like a really decent place to just relax and talk cards and collections...w/o all of the "stuff" that goes on in other places.

I am becoming familiar with particular sellers on Ebay, but am open to hearing others opinions.
Are there any sellers I should avoid at all costs, when looking for graded stuff?
There are a few I have already noticed that I wouldn't buy from with someone else's money. I am just wondering if perhaps there are any names that stand out....or if there might be a link to a thread, here at CU, where this was discussed already.
Thanks,
EB31
The Pete Rose rookie card used to be ( and probably still is), a card that scammers liked to sell because of its value.......On a whole you just need to use common Ebay sense. Be leary of zero or low feedback sellers, sellers that do not take paypal, or sellers with lots of bad feedback. ........On low feedback check to see how they got their feedback, before bidding on his Rose rookie card..................
...........avoid any seller who has a Rose rookie card, a Ruth Gouday card, and any Honus Wagner card up for auction at the same time.

Bigtime scammers like that are easier to spot...to me. I am more worried about the guys that have a reputation of selling "less than quality" stuff. The ones that may or may not be involved in shady practices, constantly sell off centered stuff, ect The guys that may have multiple Ebay ID's in order to seperate their sales into "good", "bad" and "worse" categories.
I am the new guy here and I don't want to step on any toes...so I won't mention the names of the 2-3 sellers I have already singled out that I avoid like the plague...primarily because I am sure 1 or more are members here.
I guess what I am getting at is that I am annoyed by the sellers that have 100 PSA 9's and 10's for sale....and not one looks like it should be more than an 8. I sift through this stuff for hours and start to lose my patience....but then I do find a gem of a card and it makes it all better lol (Sorry, this is becoming a rant).
I know that I am compulsively picky when it comes to centering...etc lol I am sure most people are that drop decent dollar amounts for one card. I may be new to the vintage game...having just recently decided to collect my favorite player (Pete Rose)....but I have been online for many years. And already I am getting fed up with the large amount of diamond cut and off centered cards I find that are being passed off as Nrmt-mt.
I think I need a nap
EDIT: As for the '63 rc....that is the one I am thinking about waiting to buy in person. While we are on it, I would appreciate any links to sites that may talk about spotting a counterfeit. I can spot a counterfeit Jordan rc a mile away...just need to educate myself on the Rose now.

<< <i>Well.....if you are looking to buy raw cards from a seller..............The best thing to do is start a thread that says.......Has anyone ever bought raw cards from so and so?......................You will get more answers then you will ever need. >>
lol I hear ya. No, I am pretty much stuck on graded. I prefer not to take the added risk of catching a trimmed or altered card. It's hard enough buying graded and being happy....I couldn't imagine stressing myself over raw cards lol

<< <i>Lousy decks of cards...nothing personal to you. It just annoys me that there are two complete decks of cards in the master set. They are just decks of cards for heavens sake! Just venting. I have the one you are referring to and just picked up the pepsi deck this weekend for a pretty penny. Oh well, I guess I cave to Registry. Can't wait for another $5 special to send in 52 playing cards. Yeah.....

lol
That's why it looks like I'll never go after the Master Set....too many "cards" I have no interest in as a Rose collector.
I'm happy with the Basic

<< <i>Well, I guess if you have as much disposable income as that guy has then you wouldn't really worry about it. That guy is unbelievable. He buys up everything it seems. He must have multiples of everything in the set. It kind of bums me out to watch common cards get blown out of the water in price by someone who just has to have it all. Makes the little guy (Me) want to throw in the towel. >>
I have just as much [if not more] fun on the sets/interests I collect where I will never be #1 than on anything I'm currently working on where I am #1.
