Hello All
I'm closing in on finsihing my 5th graded set 1981 Basketball.
I still have the set I put togather when I was kid. My Grandmother would take me down to the Ben Franklin store and buy me box of cards for mowing her lawn. We'd than hurry back to her house and bust open everything.
So far these are the set I have completed
1956 FB Mixture of PSA 8 and SGC 88 and up
1957 FB 2nd set completed in PSA 8 or better on the registry, this set was my pride and joy
1958 FB Mostly PSA 8 with remaining SGC 84 and up
1962 FB was 2nd set completed on the registry
I need 2 cards to finsih: 57 Nets and 106MW George Gervin
Here's the link to this set

1981 Basketball is pretty tuff to build in high grade due to low pops, Centering problems, chipping.

Great job. I think a friend of mine has his set listed on the registry. His ID is OSU63. If he has these two I can get it for you.

'57 football is my favorite as well. What did your set cost to put together?
HOF SIGNED FOOTBALL RCS
If your talking about my 57 football set i dont know the exact $ figure, I sold it to a guy in WI almost 4 years ago for $18,000.00. I dont know if he still has it or if he sold it, it's not listed on the registry anymore. That set had parts of the #1 allime set in it as well as #3 if I remember right, Rick at Mint state bought the #1 alltime set and i got like 35% of it. I'd like to know were it ended up, same goes for my 62 set.
As far as 1981 Basketball it all depends on pops
PSA 10 $15-350
PSA 9 $3.99-150
collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.

My Sandberg topps basic set
My Sandberg Topps Master set
Everybody that has help me Thanks!!!!
So what should my next set be? Any thoughts
Basketball
1980
1986
Football
1969
1972
This set took almost 2 years finish
For those who dont know 1981 Basketball is very difficult to build in high grade due to Chippping, Centering Issues, 4 sets in 1 and Low Pops
Goal is to reach 9.50 GPA, Currently at 9.46 GPA, Currently #2 AllTime
Will consider selling set only to serious buyers
