Very sincere CONGRATS from a guy that truly understands your trek. I consider the 65 Topps BB set as one of the best sets available. Great design. Great color. Great Players. I am currently at 17 on the list - so no real threat to you YET. But I welcome the day that we could be considered peers. Congrats again - Jack
Congrats from one '65 collector to another. And not just for 100% on a great set but for adding the scans... a task that would stress anyone. Again, Way To Go!!!!
GREAT JOB STEVE!I know you worked real hard at it-with the current bargin basement prices for 8's and 9's you should be able to upgrade to 8.0 pretty quickly-some nice 9's currently listed on e-bay that you may need.I do not have any except a 9 SPAHN which I will list shortly-also may have a #597 8 if I win the 9.Most of mine go before I list them so let me know if you want me to keep you informed as I continue to upgrade.Only need 15 more to have all 9's and higher-but RUM keeps out bidding me and I do not want to pay double and triple market value to upgrade a card-to each his own.You are the fifth collector that I have significantly helped to complete their set.I am real proud of you!!!!-DUKE
Congrats Steve on your accomplishment, it must feel tremendous (I can't wait for that feeling when I get the last 30 something more cards to complete my '61 set). The fact that you scanned every card in the set shows how much this set means to you. Thanks for sharing this with your fellow collectors!
Hi Steve, Congrats on a very pretty set. I love the bright colors and the player content is top notch. A truely great era of baseball that we will never see again. I started a set of my own twice but both times I didn't have the cash to really do it right. I may try again someday when my 56 quest is completed. Neil

What else are you going to do? Not the upgrade game? NOOOOOOO. Your doomed!!
Like Michael Corleone says, "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. Our true enemy has not yet shown his face."
Congrats buddy

2.............134 mantles clutch home run (love the action shot) even though I have heard it really is not the shot of that homer.
3..........the rest are tied!

Well done on the completion of your 65 Topps Set
Congrats - this has been a big year for you. That's quite a nice set - where's the Mathews scan?
"All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
when I first started the set they went for around 300.00
last few I saw went for 750.00 but had a top bid of 1234.56 the usual top bid for the winner of the 10's
