Just passed 50% on monster set (1992 Topps Gold Football)

pswebauctions

Just got poppage on a bunch of cards and am now officially just past the 50% mark on this monster of a set - 759 individual cards. I have submitted all but about 15 or 16 cards over the past three years.

I love this set because it has 33 HOFers in it and that number is growing every year.

I am very happy with my progress and the grades because this year was the first year Topps did a large insert or parallel set. Consequently since it was the first year the cards were plagued with bad centering and corner damage (even right out of the packs). Not sure hard the other sports were to get in high grade but this one is difficult. I know the last 100 cards or so are going to be very difficult to get in a 9 or 10 state.

baseballfan

twiley

Congrats on your 50% complete set!

jradke4

congrats and continued luck on your quest.

Very cool set. I can't imagine how difficult it will be to complete considering the number of cards and the quality control issues. Congrats on getting to the half way point.

Fabfrank

Congrats. That's a monster set and 50% completion is huge. I'm working on the SP/SP Authentic football sets, so I know how hard it is sometimes to find graded modern material. I think I have a rack case of 92's buried somewhere. When I break it, I'll keep you in mind for the gold cards.

50% on a big set like that is great...

Thanks for the comments.

To answer baseballfan's question, I started this set in late 2007 - with most of the progress coming in the last 18 months because of all of the $4.50 and $5.00 specials PSA has been doing.

I do not submit anything that I do not think has a chance at a 10. Therefore, the second half will be a little slower than the first. I am hoping to get to about 75% in another year or so.

To actually complete the set is still probably a 3 year project. It will also depend on how many specials PSA runs.

I will try to get some more pictures up so you can see more of the set.

Fabfrank - Thanks in advance. If you want to sell the rack case when you find it, please let me know. Otherwise, let me know what golds you come across. Thanks again.

I am trying to put together a set of Topps 2005 Gold parallel football in PSA form and have some 20% finished. I will look out for 1992's if you'll look out for some 2005's for me. John.
