I just purchased the last high number I needed for this beauty of a set. It's a 6.18 graded value on the registry and I am very pleased with it. Once I have the card in hand I'll post some scans of the major cards all of which are 6-6.5 grade. On to my 56 set now wonder how long that'll take??

Nice job and that is a beautiful set! Please post photos of the Mays and Mantle if you get a chance.

WOW! What an accomplishment! Congrats and enjoy the set. What's your best guess as to how long it will take to finish the '56? Good Luck.

Rudedawg · October 28, 2014 8:21PM

Awesome! Congrats on a great looking set. Also excited to see scans.

Once I get the last card in hand I'll scan the major cards. Right now I am 180 cards into a 56 set in NM+ I'm thinking I can finish it within a year also. I like to concentrate on two major sets at once to keep me from getting burned out on one specific set. I'm working on 56 and 54 at the moment. I'm looking to get a large lot of 54 commons in Psa 7 to jump start that set that's pretty pricey one by one!!

Congrats on your accomplishment. 6+ for that year means that youhave some really nice cards.
Hope to see some scans when you have the chance.

Great job. I have not yet finished a registry set, so I can only imagine the feeling upon getting that last card. I can't wait to see the scans.

Anyways that is a super spectacular job you did on that set EXMT WOW!!!!!!! heck I would even settle for a 3.0....lol

Heck of a nice set to have, congrats on the achievement! One of my favorite in terms of design. I thought about embarking on this one in the past as well. Would love to see a panel scan of some of the top cards.

Nice accomplishment. I remember being pretty happy with a raw 73 set. I can only imagine how happy you are!

psychump · October 29, 2014 1:26AM

Congratulations! A beautiful set, especially one over a PSA 6!

Can't wait to see the pics - I'm working 1956 right now and would like to start a 1953 after that

WinPitcher · October 29, 2014 11:42AM

Even the sidelines have to say "way to go" and enjoy it!

Stone193 · October 29, 2014 12:27PM

Congratulations - an iconic set!

Hi Steve.

elsnorto · October 29, 2014 12:40PM

Congrats! It's a beast with those dark colored name boxes extending out to the border and showing wear so easily! The 1953 set, in my opinion, doesn't get as much love as it deserves.

Awesome. Love the set. Next one I plan on working on once I get the 55 topps done. 1 card short. I also did in the 6-7 grade. Good looking cards but more affordable.

TheMick6 · October 29, 2014 1:08PM

I'm thinking its impossible to upload pictures to this site?!!?

I just can't seem to upload these pictures I tried tinypic I actually got it uploaded to the site but it won't allow me to attach them or I'm doing it wrong. Sorry guys I was looking forward to showing these cards off to.

yankeesman · October 29, 2014 11:57PM

Congrats on finishing an iconic set! I finished one as well but is a VG/EX that I'm currently working on upgrading to a 5. VERY nice accomplishment on getting that set in a 6 plus. Awesome!!!!

TheMick6 · October 30, 2014 12:13AM

Yankeesman I have a small group of duplicate 6's Id give you a hell of a deal on if you'd like? Two are single prints and ones a high number. Pm me if interested

yankeesman · October 30, 2014 1:04AM

PM sent!

I use photobucket. You can get a free account and can upload the pics to photobucket. Then they have on the right hand side of the screen where you see the pics the URL info already coded and you can just copy and paste it into your replies. I'm not much of a tech guy myself so don't know if I completely explained that right but that should work if you want to try it. Would love to see the pics. Or you can email them to me and I will host them for you. I will pm you my email addy if you want to do that.

yankeesman · October 30, 2014 3:41AM

Here are some pics of these 53s. They're beauts Darryle!!!!

Man those are sexy! Congrats again on a gorgeous set!!!!!

TheMick6 · October 30, 2014 3:57AM

Thanks Nathan I'll figure out how to get into photo bucket and upload them one day maybe when I finish the 54 set. Found a nice raw 53 im sending with the others if it doesn't pull at least a 6 Id be real confused.

yankeesman · October 30, 2014 4:13AM

Glad to do it! And thanks!
