Finally completed my first PSA set

After about 2 - 3 years I have finally completed my first PSA graded set, 1956 Topps Football. The last card needed was Chuck Ulrich. I found several examples early on but always passed for one reason or another. Being this was the last card I have needed for the last 6 months or so, I finally purchased an SGC example and sent it in for crossover. The card came back with the minimum grade I requested but it came back in this monstrosity of a holder. This card is notoriously cut larger than most in the set and I was hoping this would make its way into a regular holder but no such luck. Because of this and the centering on of the card it is bittersweet that it is complete. I will keep looking for a nice 7/8 example to keep the uniformity of the set.

Maybe PSA will reholder it in a smaller holder with the "baggie" (like some of the Post cereal cards that are too big for the standard holder) so the holders are all the same size?!?!?!?!?!?
Nice accomplishment!

I have several sets in the works currently. I will probably concentrate on one of the following 3, 54 Red Heart 25% complete, 58 Baseball 49% complete or 57/58 Topps Hockey 41% complete.
