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.

    << <i>Great job on a cool set.

    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.

    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
