Maybe I can turn my pursuit of my 1978 Topps set into a Registry Reality Show! And the Board can follow along with my hits and misses!
Here is where I stand as of Leap Year Day, 2004:
I have exactly 55 9's in my possession tonight. I have a lot of the HOFers. The "big name" cards that I need are 1 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 10 - 15 - 34 - 40 - 45 - 60 - 122 - 160 - 189 - 200 - 205 - 282 - 400 - 580 - 686 - 720.
I have none of the "low pop's." (I'm rolling the dice on those guys. I hope they'll be "higher pop's" by the time I need them.)
Pending are three cards that I won on eBay this week: 96, 674 and 701. I purchased card #388 from a member earlier today.
Tonight I won two 1978 vending boxes on eBay. The guy has 800+ positive and no negatives, so, here's hoping...
I have two '78 submissions pending at PSA: one is for 52 cards, the other is for 66 of them.
Any guesses as to
- my odds of procuring 9's from those vendors and PSA, and,
- an over/under on my set completion date!
I shall keep everyone up on my progress...unless you decide to vote me off my own show!
Hooray! The 1978 vending boxes arrived today, and they have that "pattern" still evident on top as I opened them. I have to run to Anaheim for tonight's Might Ducks' game, so I can't check the cards out today, but I'd say that my first impression of the deal is a good one!

The Brooks and the teams for sure; the CL's only if I can see them first. (I'll explain in an email to you.)
Thanks!
