Massive upgrade to my 48 Leaf Football set

Fabfrank

I was able to finish this set earlier this year and reach my goal of 6.0 GPA. I recently was able to upgrade about 30 cards and raise my GPA from 6.01 to 6.25. I still want to upgrade my remaining PSA 5's to 6's. I was particularly surprised at the crispness of the PSa 8's that I added. I wish some of my modern 8's looked so good. You can check out the upgrades here Fabfranks 48 Leaf Football set

PLMk if anyone has any upgrades for me. Thanks

No big story. A dealer (and fellow board member) came across what seemed to be 1-2 sets of 48 Leaf football. Knowing it's one of the sets I collect and having done other deals with this dealer, he contacted me and we worked out a deal on the cards I needed. If he gives me the okay, I'll mention his name. He's a great guy and I've never had a problem with him (although some might disagree)

Frank,

That's awesome! Good luck on the remaining upgrades to a great set.

Thanks matt. I would really encourage anyone who has considered doing a vintage set, to try the 48 leaf set. I believe the lower grade cards, PSA 5-6 are undervalued and you can even find 7's for a good price.

Frank congrats i have maybe 5 cards from that set skins of course and i must say in high grade they are stunning BY HIGH GRADE I MEAN 6/7

Do i win a prize if i guess the dealer

ps I have never had a bad deal with him either

Fabfrank

Do i win a prize if i guess the dealer

Sure, a No-prize

(If you were a comic collector in the 60's and 70's, you'll know what this is)

BTW, If I'm correct, you won a few 48's this weekend?

If you REALLY want to get us excited about your upgrades and set, Frank, how about adding some scans? It's a lot easier to drool over a picture than a number.

FabFrank,

Congrats on finishing your set and your goal of reaching 6.0 GPA.

I'm working on the 57 Topps FB set and have over 60% completed with a GPA of 7.88

I hear you Andy. I only seem to find time to scan my HOF auto cards.

Ravens, I'm building that set too. I need to uprade 3-4 cards from PSa 7 to PSA 8. I also need the checklist, but doubt I'll find that in an 8

Fabfrank,

The 57 Topps checklist is indeed the hardest card to find with a good PSA grade.

There's this seller on EBAY (bmw cards) has one graded SGC 92 with a buy it now price
for $10,000.

Fabfrank

That's actually not too far fetched a price. I've seen PSa 5's and 6's and MC's go for good money. If that card was in a PSA holder, it might just pull close to that 10 grand.

Great set, Frank! I'd like to put that one together someday, too.
