Although neither set has been yet recognized by PSA for Set of the Year or HOF induction, there are no TWO phenomenal 100% complete high grade sets that are worthy of recognition on this message board at a minimum. I know Don Hickey has been laboring on this for quite some time and was long the clubhouse leader with his set (now #2) that blew away anything else registered. Now, Jim Ragsdale has just entered his set at a tremendous 7.98 overall GPA out of 8.09 possible. To even find a graded copy of all 528 cards would be a huge chore, but for both to have sets of such high quality deserves a huge round of applause. Well done gents!!!!

I do believe that Nflteamsetsplus Mexican, now the 2nd place set, was under consideration for an award this year. It was 100% complete, however, the awards are given to registrants based on, but not limited to the following criteria: set popularity, difficulty, grade average, completion percentage, domination, and degree of competition within the set category. Having both sets now listed will help.
I agree that this is a very tough and worthy set, and, that they both deserve a round of applause. The PSA Registry was meant to showcase such sets and each year the competition gets more difficult.
unheard of to a lot of people. I have people email me all the time to let me know
they did not know such a set existed. If anyone here would like to get some info
on the set here is a great read TextTopps mexican football history
I started this set in 1999. I got lucky and found 2 people who had some hoards of
this stuff. Boxes, 4-card panels, and many singles. One time had 7 largents in my hand.
Boxes were $100.00 or less then.
Now $400.00 is a going rate. The cool thing is Jim and I are great buddies. We chat almost
every weekend. We have done several several trades. I could have bought a new car
for what I have spent on these. Warning to folks this set is very addictive because of the
super challange it takes to complete it. In a small way i was hoping to get modern football
set of the year to shed some light on the very unique collectible . Oh well maybe jim or I will get it next year.
And it will be me Jim 11 months to catch ya. No problem these high graded mexican cards
are easy to find
P.S. Anyone have #;s 21,35,164,181,236,282,344,404,448,488,493 that would grade
7 or 8 email me!!!! 488 is Rich Sowells only 2 5's out there nothing higher.
Also who owns the other #284 Danny White Psa 8 get in touch. Jim has one i need the other.
Thanks everyone Don
<< <i>Bigjimmi's 1977 Topps Mexican was just listed, so how could it be considered for any 2006 Registry Awards? The 2006 PSA Registry Awards deadline was May 31st.

Marcus,
I'm fully aware of the criteria and timeframes involved, hence the choice of the word "yet" in my first sentence. My intent was not to second guess past history, nor to downplay other great sets, but to put in a future plug on a great achievement on this tremendous set with very little comparative high grade material in the marketplace. That said, even prior to Jim's registration, Don's set stacks up well with previous winners using the criteria employed, especially domination.
Here is an order we sent in that just popped. As you can see from this order it is not easy to get a lot of high grades! Especially PSA 9's!
Just about all will be for sale, feel free to email me at marksfbcards@yahoo.com with any offers. More available in our ebay store. Volume discounts negotiable. Now is the time to jump in the water and start chasing the Mexican Kings
