when the UPS man came today and delivered a package from DSL it put me at the 70% mark for my 1966 Topps baseball in PSA 9 or better.
i have about 25 10's in that mix
the last 30% will seem to take forever, but i wanted to share this milestone with fellow collectors.

For some reason the 66 set is not popular. I am # 20 on the registry with only about 22% completion. I am trying for eights, but I have a some sevens and nines. There are some cards that have VERY low pops compared to other years, but they do not generate much activity when they come up for auction. In contrast, I have found the demand for 61s (which I am close to completing) to be quite high. I am at 98.98% in 61 with average grade of 7.88, yet I am only four places higher in the registry than I am for the 66s.

targeting december 2010 to be at 98%+. the last 10 or so cards may not hit ebay before then.
with the new registry system i started digging through old records to start pieceing together what it has cost me so far. (TOO MUCH) the only upside to that is that i would have lost it in the stock market if i had not blown on the set so a least i have something to look at.

It does seem like there are many cards available on eBay lately. Did I see fuzzdude breaking up his #1 set? Good luck on the final 10% of your set.
Is the set closed to public viewing???
Unfortunately it is Mealeworm due to competition. Number one on the set has a great collection and it very paranoid about it. You will notice he has a second set in the top four. He also has a lot of financial resources. If he knows an active competitor needs a card he will think nothing of putting in a $300, $400 or even $440 bid. He originally did this so much that he accumulated so many duplicates that he started his second set. Recently a card came up that was a 1/3. He owned the other two and put in a bid over $400 on it.
All is fair in love and war. The thing that frustrates me in the registry and not only this set but all of them is the "retired" sets. These sets have been scattered to the winds of other collectors and sold in a lot of cases for big bucks. This all time greatest feature with retired sets on it is ludicrous. You want the publicity don't sell your set. You took the money so get lost off of the registry--delete it--bye bye and let someone who is actually collecting it get their due.
At this rate, you will be #1 after you get the final 10% - quite an accomplishment, especially considering the level of competition.
It's too bad that competition forces these sets to be closed to viewing - but I know where you're coming from.

You said it, brother. For some sets, the top five all-time might be composed of all the same cards.
