I don't think anyone else has started a thread for the month, but I'll start it off with my upgrade to the 1961 set. It came in the mail today from the authenticator:

    Beautiful ‘62 Aaron! Do you have a ‘62 Mays or Mantle in the same grade?? And Greg Bussineau is a name from the past…

    2nd Aaron Re-holder of the '62 and '63 order...... Purchased in a Greg Bussineau auction eons ago... I think he used to be with either Memory Lane or Mile High Card Co. before going on his own... I could be mistaken~ my "Memory Lane" is narrowing.

    I did some business with Greg as early as 1992 - met him at the National. He did have a few different companies as advertised in SCD - here's a list - I have no recollection of him associating with any big AH's?

    Superior Sportscard — Bussineau’s early business, founded ~1982.

    Superior Sports Auctions — spun out in 1996.

    Collectors Universe / Greg Bussineau — Superior Sports Auctions was sold to Collectors Universe in 1999; Bussineau stayed on for a few years to run the business, then left to form Legacy Sports Rarities in the early 2000s.

    Legacy Sports Rarities — his auction company focused on high-end vintage cards and memorabilia.

    I can't find anything active right now? BTW - I found him to be about as affable a dealer as one would expect.

    I'm six cards off the collegiate 1000 stripe set and, of course, this is one of the six I'm missing. Awesome card!

    Hi Mike! you mentioned Superior Sports Auctions. I had totally forgotten about them. I used to get their catalogs back in the late 90s. They had some fantastic ones (in fact, i still have a few of them kicking around here) Do you remember what happened with them? I vaguely remember them getting sold to Collectors Universe and then I lost track.

    I remember just loving when those awesome catalogs would come in the mail!!

    Happy New Year buddy!

    Not really David. I have a catalog somewhere also and a letter he sent where you could subscribe to a source for investment. I did copy it and was planning on my continuing thread to talk about investment talk back in the early 90s. Like remember when people were buying up cases of 1990 Donruss thinking it would fund their future vacation home?

    Thank you! (and BaltimoreYankee). Took about 2 years, finding mid- to low grade with the eye appeal I wanted, within my budget. Had a great time learning about the set and the hunt of course.

    It is always the thrill of the hunt. Once the set is complete, it is sort of a letdown.

    Thank you! There are 17 Cubs. 4 are Hall of Famers (Cuyler, Grimes, Hartnett, and Herman).

    I have all but 2 in SGC holders. Will probably send them in so the set matches. Grades range from 1.5 to 4.

    Building a 75 set in 2026. Plan is to get ~600 higher end raw and the top 60 cards graded. Likely nice 6's for Brett, Yount, Ryan and Aaron and 8-9 for the other HOFers.



    Your cards look great. I'm also collecting the set. I'm doing all 8's and 9's and hope to have it completed by 2030. I have about 35 percent of the set completed. My goal is to get 9's for the four HOF rookies.

    Presented as part of my on-going effort to consolidate my collection into a "SHOEBOX"

    That's one of the nicest Ron Cey cards I've ever seen.

    I like your focus - best of luck.

    Is that tape or tape residue across the card?
