this is the definition of tenacity....good luck and thanks for sharing....dont let the negativity of some dissuade you from this goal...this is awesome.
Interested in higher grade vintage cards. Aren't we all.
For the Sakic cards, is that a fisheye in the bottom blue border stripe on the first one? If it is just dust, then that card looks worth subbing. Also, I would sub the one below it in the lower left of the pic w/ 4 of them and the lower right as well. I think the one in the upper right side in the pic w/ 4, and all the ones in the pic w/ 3, might be too OC in L/R for 10's since they seem to judge them with such scrutiny from this particular set. The color seems a bit off in the upper right one on the pic w/ 4 too.
I'd probably sub the upper left Lemieux and the lower one but skip the upper right one. I'd sub both Gretzky cards and only the Leetch on the left. I don't like the coloring of the right Leetch, looks like a fisheye low, and fading/bad printing on his name on back too.
What, no Yzerman 10's? I know it is a DP, but any Yzerman is a good one in my book!
Good progess Patrick! This has been fun to watch. If you don't have a grading membership, I can put together a small group sub like we did a few months ago. I only have about 5 cards waiting for grading. I really want to see you score some more 10's!

Are you subbing Roy or Hull? >>
There are a couple fish eyes on some of these. I've seen some Sakic 10s with them, not exactly what I want but if I can get a 10, then that's be grrreat.
I have some nice looking Roy, Hull and Yzermans, just haven't gotten around to subbing them

Thanks guys for the advice. Davis, I just heard that the October special is $5.50/card, 50 card minimum. I think we can get together another batch if you'd like
I just read through the whole thread I love reading about your progress. Keep the faith and finish that set. Always wanted a sakic rookie, just never pulled the trigger. Thx for sharing
Cool. Are you doing "master set", or just the base set? As in, will you be adding PSA 10s of all known errors/variations, or just doing base? Either way, it's awesome.

Thanks. For the moment I have my plate full with the 198 base cards. The only error is the Randy Cunneyworth and I don't think I'll pull it from a pack, but if one come up for sale I'll definitely try to get it. The box bottoms are incredibly difficult to find in high grade, but if I have any that are 10 worthy I'll try to get them slabbed. I have stickers stashed away and it should be pretty easy for me to complete that set in all 10s. Just a matter of getting them to PSA.
Hard to believe you started this thread in 2014, but for what it is worth this has been the thread I have had the most interest in following since you began your quest and the one from 2015 that really kept me coming back to the forum. It's crazy projects like this that are the most fun. Keep us updated!
Many thanks sirs. I am happy that others get enjoyment from this project. I will be subbing more in the upcoming months and apologize for lack of updates lately.
2,000 cardsavers arrived today. In a couple weeks I will be going through these stacks. They are about one third of the best of the best from my pulls, but of course will need further scrutiny before sending in to PSA.
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.
craig, I haven't purchased any unopened in awhile. Still have a few boxes. Maybe four? I want to go through all of my raw ones before loading up on wax again, if this makes sense.
Good luck. Cards do look great in the card savers (without the penny sleeve especially). I just wish they weren't so darn expensive.
Thank you I have always thought that it would be nice to collect raw sets in cardsavers. I think the one thing really keeping me from this is storage. I have yet to find a good cardboard storage boxes for them - even then maybe albums would be a better option.

It is only a 198 card set. Try taking one of those cardsaver boxes, putting the stack of cards inside standing vertically running the length of the box. They might all fit. Then take some of your wrappers from all your pack ripping from that set and decoupage the CS1 box with the spare wrappers. Just an idea...

Haven't added any self-subbed ones in awhile but that's because I haven't gotten around to subbing anything lately.
Even though I've been adding cards, my goal is still to put it together in all PSA 10 self subbed.
How far along are you?
105/198 cards graded. Here's the breakdown:
8 - 8s
68 - 9s (eventually see myself cracking these out)
29 - 10s (20 self pulled/subbed).
The link in my sig line goes directly to the registry set. Ones that are self-subbed say so in the comments section.

Not to talk about someone that can’t defend themselves, and I probably shouldn’t even comment, but I was told this project was given up on.
Bummer on the banishment and folded on the project. I really enjoyed this thread.
Good Evening,
Would anyone possibly know how to get in touch with MULLINS5?
Thank you.
As a Sakic fan, I think about this thread from time to time. Wonder what ever happened to Mullins.
