1933 Goudey Set Milestone Reached

Machodoc

I've finally reached an overall GPA of 6.00 on my1933 Goudey registry set. Now, a 6.00 GPA may not seem like a big deal, but it's good enough to rank me #8 - by a hair! I've still got another 32 PSA 5's I want to eventually upgrade to 6's or 7's, which ought to get me closer to my overall goal of at least 6.25. As it currently stands, the set (240 cards) has 72 PSA 7's, 136 6's, 32 5's, and one PSA 4(the LaJoie card). The set started the year with a GPA in the 5.40 range (I think).

Getting the Goudey set to at least 6.00 was one of my top two goals this year, the other being getting rid of anything below PSA 7 in my 1952 Topps Basic set (7.11 GPA, 100%, and ranked #7). As soon as I find a PSA 7 #2 Runnells card, then I'm done.

Thanks folk. Jay, yes it has been a while. My sportscard collecting needs are very few, and are really only focused on upgrading my Goudey and 1952 Topps, sets, plus my two space sets. Also, beginning the process of earning a Ph.D. at the age of 50 is, shall we say a very challenging and outrageously time consuming task, and so far is turning out to be much harder than actually being an elected official! Hmmm.. maybe I ought to ditch the degree and run for my old seat again...NOT!!

7 PSA-8's
13 PSA-7's
10 PSA-6's
5 PSA-5's

5 PSA-4's
3 PSA-3's
1 PSA-3(Q)
1 PSA-2.5

Steve,

Great job!! I've been watching your 33 set slowly climb in GPA. The 33 Goudey is a great set and even better if you can compliment it with the LaJoie.

I'm almost to the front page myself!!
