Cannot wait

With an auction ending last night I was able to finish my 1969 Topps Football set in PSA 8 or better in a little over 2 years. I cannot wait to get the card in hand as you could expect. This was the first vintage set I tried to complete in a high grade and slabbed. I had no idea how competitive it would be on key commons when I started. I probably will never attempt a set like this again. It was sure a blast putting it together though. Just thought I would share.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Congrats! That's a great looking set.
Also, thank you for taking the time to add a scan of every card.
Makes it fun to look at ...

I have started grabbing a few rookie cards in high grade, may slowly piece together one of the following:
1957 Topps Football in PSA 7 and better
1984 Topps Football in PSA 9 and better
1984 Topps USFL in PSA 8 and better
Not sure yet, not going to committ. Just going to keep grabbing cards I like until I make up my mind.
also big thanks to Jack (Pink Catfish) with some help locating several of the tough cards from the 69 set and giving me a great deal on them!
and thanks to everyone else who has responded in this thread.

<< <i>Not sure if you kept tally on the total cost of your set but here is what I have on a current value if they are in fact all PSA 8
$5,286.34
Great job >>
I have a handful of 9s and a few 8.5 as well. I am sure I spent way more than that. ouch!
