with my 1961 Topps Baseball Set!

phew. 4.5 years and $$$ later. Muchos Gracias to all who have sold/traded with me! I think I finished this thing out of pure spite lol. Ultimately I'm going to flip it and finish my 1965 set. Here are the last couple of cards I needed. I'm going to upgrade a few fillers, but for all intents and purposes I'm done!

picked these two up today on Ebay..... this one was a pain to find in decent condition, and the O/C qualifer doesnt bother me in the slightest. a No qualifer PSA 8 sold for $200+ I got it for under $50

This is a nice raw pickup and fits in nicely with most of the raw cards I already have.

    sweet!.....i want to do the same, i want to pick a set and go for it! no matter how long it takes, the thing i have to get past is patience and starting to collect for the fun of it again and not for the profit making, but then again that the hard part!

    Congratulations Bob!

    That's two people who've finished sets! Superb. And a great set.

    I've got the Mantle but my two favorites - Clemente and Stan the man.

    Good luck on your next project.

    Hilarious that you say that. I was going to use the rabbit portrait from Harvey as my new icon next month - truly one of the funniest movies/plays of all time

    I bet getting those high numbers was a challenge; I believe they're supposed to be the toughest high numbers of all (not counting 1952 or 1953 of course).
