    I was glad to get that Ryan into the right hands. You guys are building some sick sets - good luck to everyone on that Jackson Todd.

    Well, look who jumped in, all the way to #11 on the Registry: dgriffin22. And at over 78% of the set already! Welcome aboard!

    However: be prepared to be nagged by the board veterans until you open up your set for all to see.

    That is definitely one of the nicest Ryans I have seen! Hope some of the rest of you have good luck on your submissions. I am awaiting mine hopefully in the near future.

    Thanks for the welcome, and I promise to open my set as soon as I get all the serial numbers entered. :-)

    Also, I got all the cards I purchased from South-Florida-Heat, even the ones I got through the second chance offers! Yes, even a Brewers Team card, although of course not the one pictured in the auction (although still a PSA 9).

    Me too!

    I got all eight 1978 PSA 9 cards that I won, fast and in great shape! Thank u Andy Tuttle (aka: South-Florida-Heat)...

    Sometimes a potential "bad story" turns out to be "much to do about nothing". I'm glad for "all of ours' sake" that this turned out to be a good story.

    In fact, if I knew South-Florida-Heat was Andy Tuttle, I would not have been worried, as we have done satisfactory business before!

    In any event, it's nice to have this forum to communicate potiential "red flags" that may pop-up from time.

    rd,

    I agree South Fl Heat (Andy) did a great job of getting are cards out quick and in great shape. It turned out to be a fine transaction and I am very happy with the outcome.

    Although I have not dealt with Andy before I am sure I will again, next time I will not be worried at all with those second chance offers.

    Thanks Andy

    Hey Dan,

    The 78's have made it to pending status--i sent in low pops off of your list-----#39,111,115,125,132,141,158,183,185,256,263,279,310,369,386,395,444,506,512,525,560,618,681,717,726. I believe i added a few more as well. I forgot to make myself a copy. I'll just have to wait until the grades pop to se what others i sent in.

    Well since Joe is hiring a grader--lets just see if i qualify or not. IMO only 2 or 3 will get the 10 from what i recall. These were almost centered perfect front and were really good on the back sides.

    Good luck to the rest of you who are nearing
    completion - Bob, George, Gerald, Jeff, etc... I'll
    check back in from time to time to see everyone's
    progress..........Next stop, finishing up 100% complete

    Yep,

    I Still do need these (8) cards to complete this great set! Looking for PSA 9s or 10s (five of the eight cards should be fairly easy to obtain, while the Todd, Herndon and LeMaster cards are toughies). Hopefully, one or more of these cards will become available out of the recent case rip. PM or email me if you have any of these items available: rbdjr@bellsouth.net

    -I though you met her in Vegas

    I want to know what set are you going to work on next ..... I want to make sure I am no where close to that set image - George >>




    George,

    I'm not sure what set I'll build next? Let's see, I went from 1961 Nu-Card Football to 1976 Topps Baseball to this 1978 Topps Baseball set, and now what?

    Just not sure what to do now?

    rbdjr1's 1961 Nu-Card Football Set - The Number One All Time Finest Set

    rbdjr1's 1976 Topps - The Number One All Time Finest Set

    rbdjr1's 1978 Topps Set - 3rd Current Finest Set

    I will still update these two (1961 Nu-Card Football & '76 Topps Baseball) sets when I can, with PSA 10s, or a centered nine blazer, when I can, but it gets "harder and harder", I think I was able to upgrade only two 1961 Nu-cards over the past year, plus I was outbid on an Ernie Davis PSA 10 (the key card to set!). You just do not see volumes of 1961 Nu-Card Football for sale any more. I wonder how much unopened 1961 Nu-card Football wax still exists out there?

    As far as 1976 Topps baseball, I'm able to p/u some upgrades "here and there", maybe one or two a month, but it is getting more and more difficult, for example, would I bid on a 1976 Ryan PSA 10? For $5000-$6000? I don't think so, not at this time! With SMR for PSA 9s @ $265, one could think this to be a "bit over-priced" for a PSA 10, u think? image

    In any event, no matter what set I choose to build next, I hope to continue to upgrade my 1976 & 1978 baseball sets (and maybe find one or two more PSA 10s for my 1961 Nu-Card Football set?)...

    Who knows whats coming next?

    rd

    P.S. I would like to personally thank John (aka: Wondo) for allowing me to purchase from him on "lay-a-way", over 5 installments, well over 100 of the toughest cards in this set. I just paid my "fifth and final installment" for this last lot of cards:

    PSA 9s

    630 – RON CEY
    642 – DENNY DOYLE
    651 – DOUG RADER
    688 – GEORGE MITTERWALD

    690 – MICKEY RIVERS
    710 – ROOKIES, OUTFIELD
    717 – NELSON BRILES
    725 – KURT BEVACQUA

    PSA 10s

    565 – KERRY KOOSMAN
    592 – BOB APODACA
    593 – DAVE SCAGGS
    607 – FERNANDO ARROYO
    609 – JOHN DENNY
    618 – TOMMY HELMS
    682 – KEN BRETT
    684 – RALPH HOUK
    687 – JULIO CRUZ
    706 – ROOKIES, 1ST BASE
    719 – RANDY ELLOITT
    724 – ROYALS TEAM
    726 – WILBER WOOD

    John (Wondo), it has been a pleasure to work with u over these past months, and I'm sure we will "hook-up" again. (If u havn't checked-out Wondo's ebay store, u should! John has over 500 pretty cool items for sale right now! Here is Wondo's ebay link: Wondo's ebay stuff! ). image

    I understand your dilemma, You have 3 great sets going and I am sure your next set will complement the 3 you already have nicely.

    I have also agree John was a pleasure to work with in getting many of the cards I needed for my set, but I would have to add you have also been great to work. I do appreciate it.
    Thanks,

    Hey rd,

    Those are three awesome sets! Good luck in your next venture although I am sure you will be checking in here as you upgrade.

    I won't ever build another graded set again, my reasons are for a different topic. This 78 set will be my only project. I have started the 57 set but I am going to be deleting that set soon.

    I am forever more a raw set builder as Topps Heritage as renewed my love of crisp MINT sets in a binder.

    Hello Jerry, I'll have a #630 Ron Cey PSA 9, that will be avail. in a few days. Yes, I'd be interested in your Meoli PSA 10 (#489). Both the Cey & the Meoli are lo pops, but the Cey, "bleeds Dodger blue", which makes it even a tougher card to find in PSA graded mint (I just added to my set, the only Cey PSA 10, and also a nice PSA 9 example, like I said will be delivered in a few days.).

    LMK, what u think? (u can PM me or email me at: rbdjr@bellsouth.net)

    ArnyVee,

    Being a lo pop item to begin with, and then add the Dodger and Ron Cey collectors to the 1978 Topps set builders herein, makes this card, in my opinion, pretty tough.

    I recently obtained a PSA 10, so this PSA 9 is avail, if u desire. $15 delivered.

    rd

    Note: typical Topps ink/print spots are noticable (Arny, maybe an eight in a nine's costume? image Still, a pretty scarce Dodger item!)

    Hey Guys,

    I got a very fast turnaround from the last special, unfortunately they were as expected mostly 8 & 9's sub number 614816 zip 48309. Most will be available if anyone is interested (Including a Blomberg and Rader). Only a few will make the set. I did get a few nice grades including a Rivers 9 and a Blue Jays Team 10. All in all though I will stay away from vending in the future. Racks were the way to go.

    Augustaman (Bill),

    I haven't forgotten about sending you my 73 dupe list to help you with your set. I have been working to get my 78s in my registry set, and finally got it updated today. (I sent you an email earlier as reference.)

    I have decided to focus on my 78 set, now that the 73 set is winding down. Only 550 to get 100% complete, and 609 to get 100% PSA9! image

    Here are my crappy grades that just popped from the March Special. Nothing exciting, but they're what I expected (minus the Caldwell). The two Molitors were identically crappy, I can't believe the one came back a 4. They both should have been 8OC. Anyway, if you're interested, they will be on ebay as soon as I get them.

    Not a bad turn-around time on the March Special though!!
