  Hi Carlos, That's an incredible set. Do you have any PSA 10s in the set? I just started a mostly PSA 7 (a few PSA 8) 1971 Topps football set. I have 46 cards so far. Do you have any advice on this set? Do you know any honest sellers for football cards? Let me know, Neil

  Congrats Carlos!
  
  I know that you'll make it by the registry awards!
  
  Its amazing how when you've reached this point - it seems to take 6 or 7 cards for each .01!!! Continued good luck and look forward to that day when we see the immortal 9.00!!!!

  Carlos,
  
  That's a truly incredible set. Were you able to find any cards for it in Cleveland? Good luck with everything.

  Carlos, You have a killer set of 72's going. I read in a earlyer thread that King Kellogg GAVE you two 1972 wax packs to open at the luncheon and that is unbelievable! I love busting vintage wax even when it cost me an arm and a leg but to get it free is truly amazing. did you get anything out of the packs you needed for your set?
  
  Good luck with your set.
  Paul.

  Frank,
  
  I hate the fact that I can make 5 upgrades and still not see a change in my GPA or Set Rating. I still wish PSA would add a couple decimal places to the GPA and Set Rating so I can see a little progress from my upgrades. Plus with so many sets on the registry and many collectors tied in some catagories it would be the ultimate tie-breaker. Major League baseball does it near the end of the season when two player are close in Batting Average, I wish PSA would do the same.
  
  
  Alan,
  
  I picked up only one upgrade at the show, but found some raw cards that I submitted for grading...Still waiting for those results.
  
  
  
  Paul,
  
  Yes the King did give me two series 2 wax packs that I opened at the luncheon. There were 3 cards that I thought were a lock for a PSA 9 NQ so I had them graded. 2 of the 3 came back 9's none of which upgraded my set, but the gift was incredible and deeply appreciated. Hail to the King.
