Just got a 71 mays in psa 8 today that I am going to crack out to join the rest of my 71 set thus completing 71 to 85 topps in what I consider nrmt. I am about 20 away in 1970 and maybe 25 in 1968 and then ILL REST for a while. Just happy to have completed this run, it has been a long time and many on this board helped. Thanks for the help board!

    Congrats, it is always nice getting a collecting goal out of the way.

    To clarrify the 71 mays was an 8oc. I have nothing else in 71 graded so I cracked it.

    Congrats!! nice run. Are you going to take it forward or just back? I always liked the 86 and 87 sets.
  • easydoesiteasydoesit Posts: 547
    Just try to go back if I can. I really have lost interest in anything from 85 to current. If fact I have most of the donruss and flee sets and I think I am going to sell them off as well and just stick with my topps run.

    Nice Run Chris!

    Why are many surprised about cracking a card out? I've done it many times for many of my raw sets, and I know many
    others do it as well. Believe it or not the vast majority of this hobby is Raw collectors. Also to your surprise is that many of the
    top condition sets are not necessarily in the PSA Registry, They remain pure and free the way they were meant to be.
    The TPG market is more about greed and money, where as the Raw collectors are more about the love of the cards.
    While I maintain a few graded sets, The majority of my collec tion will always be Raw.

    Many have asked why my Montana Rookie is not slabbed? If you had to ask I guess you will never understandthe alure, the smell
    and the meaning of the raw experience. Im currently looking to crack out a PSA 9 Earl Campbell Rookie for my 79 Set.

    Again Nice job on the run Chris. It would be great to see some pics of the collection.


    KEEP IT RAW!
