MBMiller25 · January 10, 2009 2:01AM

Starting A Musial registry Set, Made my first acquisition this AM. Here it is. I will continue to update this thread as I acquire Musial cards. My hope is to have a Set with around a PSA 7.00 GPA.

bobsbbcards · January 10, 2009 2:16AM

Neat idea Matt! I might have some Musials sitting around here as well.

MBMiller25 · January 10, 2009 2:20AM

Thanks Bob, Look forward to hearing from you.

Ironmanfan · January 10, 2009 3:11AM

good start; congrats!

BPorter26 · January 10, 2009 6:54AM

Nice centering. Congrats Milk Man

prscott933 · January 10, 2009 7:47AM

Nice! That's going to be a fun build.

fur72 · January 10, 2009 8:33AM

Very nice start, good luck with the rest of you set.

cwazzy · January 10, 2009 8:37AM

Awesome card, Matt! That's a beauty!

WinPitcher · January 10, 2009 9:29AM

I agree nice card! Good luck in your quest, Don't overlook true EX/Mnt cards though they at times can be a great value.

That's a great looking card Matt, and if you had announced this one day earlier I would have pulled my 1961 PSA 8 Musial off eBay before it sold yesterday.

Good luck with the rest of your acquisitions.

mickeymantle24 · January 10, 2009 11:12AM

Great start to a collect! Hope you the best!

MBMiller25 · January 24, 2009 6:40AM

A couple recent pick-ups! Thanks Andy Kramer (Paleocards) for the 1959 Musial!

mickeymantle24 · January 24, 2009 6:42AM

very nice! congrats

PoppaJ · January 24, 2009 7:19AM

Matt,

Excellent start!!!

Are you going for the Basic Set, Master Set or both?

I was really surprised that there were only 10 cards needed for the Basic Set, but then I remembered that there were no qualifying Musial's from '54-'58.

A plus is that the Master Set consists of only 52 cards, with the toughest probably being the '62 Venezuela Topps.

You should have no trouble attaining your 7.0 GPA; just take your time and have a little patience.

Good luck and be sure to keep sharing

<< Are you going for the Basic Set, Master Set or both? >>

I am building the Basic Set for right now, but I can see myself working on the Master Set once I complete the Basic Set. There are cards like the: 1951 Wheaties Hand Cut, 1954 Red Heart, 1951 Berk Ross, 1952 Berk Ross and 1953 Exhibits Canadian that I really like. So we will see once I get the Basic complete.

HeritageAddict · January 24, 2009 8:18AM

Great stuff Matt! This is a set I've often thought about doing myself.

thehallmark · January 24, 2009 8:23AM

That 1952 Berk Ross card you mentioned is gonna be a tough find well-centered, but super rewarding when you finally get it.

These early purchases of yours are amazing. Premium 8s, all. Very nicely done!!

baseballfan · January 24, 2009 8:58AM

nice start to the set!!

No love for the 52' Bowman? That is one I am very fond of.

Great player to collect, but I may be a bit bias.

bobsbbcards · January 24, 2009 9:48AM

Nice cards Matt!!!

Stan definitely has some nice cards. I only wish he had been in more sets.

StanTheManMusial · January 24, 2009 9:51AM

That 53' Bowman is another beauty. Nice cards, Bob.

MBMiller25 · January 24, 2009 9:55AM

<< No love for the 52' Bowman? That is one I am very fond of. >>

48 Bowman, 48 Leaf, 49 Leaf, 52 Bowman and 53 Bowman Color are part of the Basic Set. I will definately be adding those cards. I am very particular with my cards, so I am being patient.

mickeymantle24 · January 24, 2009 9:57AM

Patience is the key to doing the player sets. I will go ahead and say I have never finished a players set

MBMiller25 · January 24, 2009 9:57AM

Bob, Awesome 52, 53 Bowman's and I LOVE the Wheaties box. I just wish you weren't such a "Jerk" and FORCE me to buy all of these cards from you all the time!

MBMiller25 · February 4, 2009 4:02AM

Thanks to some help from fellow board member Mickey71 who sold me a SWEET 62 Topps Musial, I am at the 50% mark on my Stan Musial Set. I need to get Bob (bobsbbcards) to sell me that 1952 Bowman PSA 8 and I will be rolling again. Here are the first 5 cards I have acquired on my way to the ten needed for the Stan Musial Basic Registry Set.

Thanks to Dr. Kramer (Paleocards) for 1959 Topps PSA 8.

1960 Topps PSA 8

1961 Topps PSA 8

Thanks to Danny (Mickey71) for this 1962 Topps PSA 8. This will be submitted at the National for a bump. It's that nice.--IT BUMPED

1963 Topps PSA 8

I really want to say thanks again to all the fellow board members who are such a great resource in finding cards. I am able to pick up a majority of my cards off these boards, rather than having to deal with EBAY. I will keep updating as I acquire more Musials.

PoppaJ · February 4, 2009 5:17AM

Matt,

Congrats on that beautiful '62!

As a side note, I just wanted to say congrats on your, all PSA 10, Griffey Jr Registry Set.... very nice!

MBMiller25 · August 9, 2009 12:01PM

My Musial set has been a slow go. I have been looking for very well centered cards, and am having a very HARD time finding them, and affording them once they are found. Well I was able to Add a couple cards recently, including a 49 Bowman tonight. The 62 Topps in the previous scan got bumped at the National to a PSA 8.5. Its a pop 2 card with 24 garded higher. I am very pleased.

rexvos · August 9, 2009 12:06PM

this is very very impressive. My pockets are nowhere deep enough to collect vintage baseball the way I would like to. Great stuff!

PoppaJ · August 9, 2009 12:53PM

Hi Matt,

Wow! That '63 is a blazer! Beautifully centered!

Super nice STM rookie! Great pickup!

You're doin' it right .... take it slow .... find the ones that please you the most .... and enjoy the hunt!

Thanks for sharing!

PoppaJ

bengineno9 · August 9, 2009 1:06PM

Matt,
Great cards and keep up the good work!
53 Bowman Color is by far my favorite.

I was extremely sad and disgusted with the way he got pushed aside at this years AS game in St. Louis.
Stan will always be the man.

johnny1976 · August 10, 2009 8:23AM

MBMILLER,

Great looking cards. I am starting a Musial basic set also. I have just started to look for cards in psa 6's. If you have any that you want to part with or know of anybody who does let me know. Again great cards and good luck with the set.

BPorter26 · August 10, 2009 10:07AM

Miller, Nice 49 Pick up. Very well centered. Congrats, looking forward to the others.

BP

MBMiller25 · December 17, 2009 12:03PM

Added this a few months ago, but failed to post it on this thread.

MBMiller25 · December 17, 2009 12:05PM

Thanks to Brian (BKritz) I was able to add the most difficult Musial card to my Basic Set yesterday. I am down to needing just two cards the 52 Bowman and 53 Bowman Color to complete the Musial Basic Set. If anyone out there has a PSA 8 52 Bowman and either a PSA 8 or PSA 7 53 Bowman Color, please let me know.

Kid4hof03 · December 17, 2009 12:52PM

Absolutely beautiful set! Thanks for sharing all the scans, a lot of fun reading through from your start until now.

bengineno9 · December 17, 2009 1:57PM

Matt,
Damn nice looking cards you got there! Keep up the good work.

Bkritz · December 17, 2009 11:36PM

Matt,

Nice 48 Leaf. Boy that seller must be a great guy!

It ships today!

B

BPorter26 · December 18, 2009 1:32AM

Matt, Great looking Leaf card. Amazing collection you have. I might have to starting calling you Don Spence.

MBMiller25 · December 18, 2009 9:00AM

<< Boy that seller must be a great guy! >>

Yea but he keeps beating me out of my hard earned money!

<< I might have to starting calling you Don Spence >>

I wish!

MBMiller25 · February 2, 2010 11:25PM

Picked this 1953 Bowman Color up last night on the PWCC auction. I paid handsomely for it, but I thought it was a stunning example of this card. I am now down to just needing the 52 Bowman in PSA 8 and my Musial Basic Set will complete. I have added pics of the rest of my set to bring it up to date.

bigjaco · February 2, 2010 11:28PM

amazing card Matt. Congrats on the pickup!

Morgoth · February 2, 2010 11:34PM

I was watching that one last night as well. That card is too soft for me to pay that much over VCP for it but it is a nice example.

HeritageAddict · February 2, 2010 11:44PM

Matt, have I told you lately how much I hate you?......jk amazing set!!! The Musial basic set is one of my goals this year, although it won't be near as high grade as yours.

Reljac · February 2, 2010 11:57PM

wow great collection! Loved looking at it

artistlost · February 2, 2010 11:58PM

Beautiful cards!

mathew

jeffcbay · February 2, 2010 11:58PM

Those are some great cards man...

bziddy · February 3, 2010 1:20AM

These cards are made even better by the fact that Stan Musial has to be one of the nicest baseball stars I ever had the opportunity to meet (and sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" while he played harmonica). (Nate Colbert was pretty awesome too).

MBMiller25 · March 3, 2010 9:43AM

Finished off my Musial Basic Set today, Bittersweet to be complete with this project, Not sure what I will do from here. I ended up settling comfortable in at #4 current finest and #5 all time right between Jim Crandell and the likes of Addison Collection and Steve Soloway. Thanks to all that helped me with cards along the way. Here are the scans from 48 Bowman to 63 Topps.

Not part of the Basic Set, but one of my favorites nonetheless!

TNP777 · March 3, 2010 9:45AM

congrats on completing the set, Matt - beautiful Cards! (pun intended)
