I wanted to introduce myself. I joined PSA last year, but I did not notice the message board until a month ago. I started collecting again last year (mostly throught EBAY, not too many local shops or shows around me), after many years away from the hobby. I am collecting 1969 to 1979. Currently working on 1969 and 1970 BB. I have been learning alot from browsing through the threads over the last month. Hope to contribute. Thanks
Chris

    Welcome Chris!

    Are you collecting graded? Good luck on the '69 and '70T sets.

    I look forward to your pickups. Where are you on the sets?

    Welcome Chris, it is always good to see a new old collector join the boards. Did you keep the stuff you collected as a kid or did you long ago purge it all thinking you would never be back?

    I kept the cards from when I was a kid. Mostly late 60's to mid 70's. Most of those cards are in fair condition. I did purchase a 1976 T vending set for $7 (in 1976); which is in the original box- pretty nice. Some of those HOF cards graded out 7 and 8.


    I have most of the stars, HOF, and league leaders in the 1970 T set. I started with raw; but found that is very variable in terms of what you get on EBAY. What is described as NM or better often is not. There is a steep learning curve. I then started getting graded 7's and 8's for the above mentioned ( I have about 50 %). I have a handful of graded and raw commons.


    I have about 50% of the stars, HOF, etc, graded for the 1969 T. Don't have the expensive ones with this set; being patient.

    Welcome to the boards. There is a lot of knowledge here about building sets, so don't be afraid to ask. Good luck with the sets!
