    Hi Don,



    Your 1959 Topps set is amazing!!!



    I just took some time to go through it and the scans you have up look great. Your comments also enhance the set greatly, especially the comments on the cards that you picked up raw and came back high grade. You have a good eye for quality.



    Good luck in your quest for the best set possible.

    Don, in your set #531 is a PSA 10. Your note says "the very definition of PSA 9." Just a heads up.

    Thanks everyone!

    Donato, great to hear from you and I hope that you are doing well.

    Dan, my bad.....I have not updated several cards on my registry set yet with updated photos and comments. The 9 Webster is now my 10 Webster! image

    Since the monsoon season just ended out there and the temps will not likely drop below 105 before October, you may be in trouble Don image

    I think you probably own all the best 59 of each and every player - lol! In that regard, you are either going to have to look for dupes or see if they can add an "11" grade to the grading scale!!! Hope the dry spell ends very soon! Take care.

    Another beauty Don

    Kind of broad at the shoulders and narrow at the hip, and everyone knew you didn't give no lip to big Ron...at 6' 7"

    Ron passed in 2008

    Another great card Don. Chico, RIP, was the first Latin American to start in a MLB AllStar game

    Nice card Don. My Dad bought me my first baseball glove when I was 9 in 1956. It was a NOKONA and has Chico Carrasquel as the MLB endorser for that particular glove. How do I know this? I am looking at it as I type and recalling those long gone days of my youth. Thanks for the memories!

    Very neat anecdote Jim. Most people would have no idea who he was, but as the first Latin American to start in an All Star game he is historically significant
