It took 5 years but I finally completed the 1949 Bowman Master set at PSA 7.74 in a semi-respectable 4th all time finest. I finished with over 200 cards at PSA-8 or better. Thank you to all who helped me with this undertaking. From Don Spence who started me off in 2005 to Neil Dietrichs who traded great cards to me right up to the completion, and all those inbetween THANK YOU. Vintage card collectors are some of the nicest people on the planet. I don't usually post on the boards although I do read them from time to time.

My set will soon be retired as I'm selling it in the current MILE HIGH card auction. If anyone is interested I'll attach a link to my set on the registry and one to the current auction.

Thanks again to all who helped me with this 5 year project.

    Yes you are WAY too modest. Any vintage set in that grade is anazing.

    Honestly, you ought to try and sell it on this board or privately. Might get more for it.

    Jim,
    It's probably going to be sad seeing that set go but you did a pretty good job. I think I am number 14 or so on there right now and I have checked out your set several times. Are you going to try to tackle another set anytime soon?
