A Twofer! Never have a been able to complete two sets at exactly the same time until now.

My friend Mr. Teemu(Tom Malito) came to me with a proposal that would complete two of my sets at the same time. With some small tinkering we completed a trade that completed my 1967 Topps Football Set(number 50) and 1963-64 Parkhurst Hockey Set.
He gave me the one 67 Topps Football card I needed(Speedy Duncan) and the 3 Parkhurst psa 8s I needed as well as two upgrades from 8 to 9 and I gave him a psa 8 1959-60 Topps Hockey card he needed with two upgrades. A fair trade all around and a happy result for me. Thanks Tom!

This set now has a ranking of 8.09 on the PSA Set Registry. I will let it rest here at 4th place(Tom is 3rd).

Like almost every other set I collect, I submitted the entire set raw and upgraded those less than PSA 8 to that grade.

This represents the 18th set I have completed in PSA 8 or better since year-end 2005

My goal continues to be over 100 vintage sets each card PSA 8 or better.

    Congratulations Jim.

    I have never been partial to the appearance of the '63 Parkies, but it is still a quality set littered with many of the game's greats.

    BTW, I enjoy it when you take the time to fill us in on how you complete your sets (ie. a simple one card purchase, a trade, etc). Keep up the good work.

    Davalillo - Congrats on completing that set! I was checking that set today and noticed you finished. Some tough low pops in PSA 8 and nice to see a couple of hockey sets in the quest.

    Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I hope I can complete some more sets soon.


    A week from Friday I will be speaking at the Set Registry luncheon. I hope to meet those of you I have not met before and certainly urge everyone to attend.

    Congrats on the accomplishment and best of luck in your goal of 100 sets. VERY IMPRESSIVE!

    Tom ( Teemu) is great to work with. I too have done several trades and purchuses from him and always a pleasure. He has a 1951 Parkie (hockey) set that I doubt will ever be beat even by MOSH.
