Lots of 8s ... very few 9s and a few lesser. I'm somewhat suprised by these results. I felt that there was the possibility of more 9s and even a 10 or 2. A few of the cards had some centering issues which would explain the few 7s and 9Ocs. No explanation until I get the cards back on the 4, 6, and miscut. I still can't believe that most of these cards were 8s by the looks of them. At least I din't get slammed on any of the name fighters. One or two will be upgrades and most will fit nicely into the set. I was really hoping to get real close to completing this set in 8 or better with this sub. Now I'm in that neverland of being almost complete with one set and having more than 1/2 of a second set. What to do???? Sell of the second set piecemeal or complete it and sell it as a whole or keep two.

C'est la vie I guess.

Matthew

Edited to add ... Thanks to Wondo. He is one of the best to deal with! And I would not hesitate to deal with him at any time.

    Matthew,

    Thank you for the kind words. These are great cards, and I would love to see similarly graded exmples stack up to yours. That, of course, doesn't help in the registry, but you have GREAT cards.

  • Congrats Matt. Where does this put you (percentage wise)?

    I say sell the rest off piece by piece. There seem to be more collectors of this set now than there were just a few months ago so sell them off and use that money to finish the set.

    Nice work!

    Well ... I still need the two cards that were duplicate numbers so 96.15% complete with very few upgrades to get to 8 or better throughout (card by card). So, yes, I'm happy about taking a big bite out of the apple! Wondo and I both agree that I ran into a tough grader as these are some choice examples. I'll post some scans when I get them back in hand.

  • You think it's going to sneak you into the All-Time list?

    Congrats on finishing the set. You did it (mostly) the old-fashioned way of buying cards one at a time. Some guys just buy a set and have them all graded. (What I'm thinking about doing image)

    Arthur,

    I think I may be a few cards shy of that but I'll know for sure when they all get back to me. It would be a nice goal to let the set rest once I get there.

  • Finding the Boon and Danahar would secure it. Have they ever shown up for auction? I don't search for them so I probably would've missed it.
