New Project. 1965 Award Winners

I was looking through all the Award Winners for the year I was born and have decided to put the "set" of cards for the players for the year 1965.

I will shoot for PSA 5 or better but with some of the larger names I will buy the best card with eye appeal for what I determine the value is for that card.

Cy Young- Koufax
MVP's Z Versalles/W Mays
ROY Blefary/Lefebvre
Gold Glove
AL- Pepitone, Richardson, B Robinson, Freehan, Yaz (Barf), Tresh, Kaline, Katt & Vesalles
NL- B White, Mazeroski, Santo, J Torre, Clemente, Flood, Mays, B Gibson, Cardenas
WS MVP Koufax
AS MVP J Marichal

Will only be getting 1 of each player in the case of multiple award winners like Koufax.

I will give myself a budget of $150 cash and any other funds will come from card sales or trades.

Will be posting in the B/S/T area for wants

Card #1. Received 4/6/2013

    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.

    Sounds very cool! I'll also look forward to hearing about your progress.

    I got intrigued, so I put together a quick spreadsheet of VCP values. Here's a link to the spreadsheet.

    !965 was the first year of the COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR award. Shouldn't be too hard to pick these guys up. Norm Cash won it twice!

    Also I won my NCAA pool so I will take 1/2 of my profit ($41) and put it into the kitty.
