All right! For some reason, between glasses of wine and plates of finely crafted snacks (I can't spell "hors d'oeuvres"), I got on and searched for the last card I need to complete my 1962 Topps Basic Set Registry. I scrolled down the short list of available cards when, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a #400 PSA 8 Elston Howard with a BIN and OBO! I thought the BIN was a little high, made an offer, and YES!, I got a counter-offer back. I jumped on it!
Cheers to 707 Sportscards for making my Christmas cheerier and helping me to fill my 2010 collecting goal of completing this set!!

Glad you finally completed your set Hoof!!
I bet it's a beaut.
Now that I've got the cards I need, I'm making the set "public" again. Here's a link to my '62 Topps Basic Set Registry entry.
Man, what a Christmas this is turning out to be. I've got some wonderful family to celebrate with, too, so I'm flying high!
Please scan some of your favorites from the set sometime. One of my favorites. Congratulations!

Thanks, Robert!
I listed that as my goal for 2011 -- to scan all the cards (need a better scanner first) and upload them to the Registry. As Steve E. (seinbigd) started with his '62T set, I want to scan the Green- and Non-tint cards side-by-side to show everyone the differences of cards 110-196. I'm still hoping the other Green-tint variations will be added to the Master list one day...
<< <i>great news Mike.....congrats & Merry Christmas.
Geoff, I owe you a "Thank you!" for some of the cards in the set!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
[edited to add:] Here are the cards you supplied me with --
34 Johnny Temple
120 Bob Purkey
126 Al Cicotte (Green Tint)
193 Eddie Kasko
268 Ken McBride
339 Jose Valdivielso

<< <i>Congrats! I have seen you write about that card for a while now. Enjoy! >>
I was afraid I was getting a little obnoxious when I kept posting my "[subliminal message]Sell me your #400 PSA 7 or 8 Elston Howard[/subliminal message]" tags!
Thank you all for the kudos! It was definitely a labor of love...
Jeff
PS...you need to update your sig line now.

Personally, I don't mind the "White Whale" style posts, no matter how frequent. It's the most engaging part of the hobby - the chase, the near misses, the rush when you land one.
Working on the following: 1970 Baseball PSA, 1970-1976 Raw, World Series Subsets PSA, 1969 Expansion Teams PSA, Fleer World Series Sets, Texas Rangers Topps Run 1972-1989

<< <i>Mike...congrats on the card and the set. I am still trying to finish my first registry set having started so many but never getting there.

Jeff,
Nice catch on the sig line! I've updated it.
Which Set is your most recent focus?
Thank you!

Thank you, sir. What a relief to hear that!
Just in time for 2011 Topps Heritage (which will be the "new" version of the 1962 Topps Set for those of you that do not follow modern)

Oh, man, I've been following that thread. I just started pricing a case of the 2011 Heritage cards. There goes my other 2011 goad to replenish the savings account!
Thanks!
shouldnt be nearly as expensive!

<< <i>Nice to hear good things about Levi -- I still get an annual xmas card from him >>
Rich, does Levi frequent these boards? If so, I'd like to say "Thanks!" personally.
Geordie, thank you. My next White Whale? Nothing I can nail down yet. I've got a lot of Senators/Twins type cards to pursue to fill in some of my holes there. A 1921 Exhibit card of Walter Johnson would be a great addition to that collection.
My two closet sets are...
1955 Topps Baseball PSA 7 set...down to 9 cards that I need
1956 Topps Baseball PSA 7/8 set...down to 12 cards that I need
Hoping that I can find them before I lose interest but it is getting very difficult to find decently centered at a reasonable price.

WoW! Impressive sets! Wish I had some of those cards to help you out. Best of luck completing them...
<< <i>Congrats, great card Mike, I couldn't resist posting the scan... >>
Great detective work, Mr. Holmes!! I had to have at least left-to-right centering. I can live with the top-bottom not being perfectly centered.
Love the card!

<< <i>Atta boy Mike!
Mike! I owe you the biggest "Thanks!" in putting this set together. I bought that bulk lot from you in July of '05 and you made me one tremendous trade within the past year. I just checked my spreadsheet documenting all my purchases and you are flagged on 89 of the 693 cards in my registered sets.
Thanks again,
<< <i>It's so great to hear and feel such happiness and excitement from a Board member. Congratulations on completing one tough set!
Nick >>
Thanks, Nick. Completing the set at this time of year really enhanced the experience. Patience finally paid off. I learned so much reading discussions from the experts on these boards, including Bosox1976, seinbigd, Griffins, et al. I'm grateful to you all!

<< <i>Latest Auction Prices for: PSA 8 - Average Price: $99.89 >>
Lol looks like someone just got ripped off. SMR doesnt even have the card listed.
VCP is a guide. IF VCP captured all buy it now listings then the average VCP price on just about every card would be much higher than it shows.

Are you going to try for the tints now?

Bingo! I've been monitoring BIN auctions, too. VCP is just a guide like SMR...
<< <i>Are you going to try for the tints now? >>
I've gotten all the green tint variations, too. In my second Master Registry Set, I've got the alternate tint from my Master (and Basic) sets. Note the "GT" and "NT" notes I have next to #s 110 through 196.
My goal in 2011 is to scan all the cards including the tint variations side-by-side. Another labor of love!

Far as 707 goes. I never have had a problem with Levi. He has always been nice to me. I can honestly say I have made quick profitable flips on cards I have purchased from him in the past. You just gotta poke around for deals he has sometimes. When he has them they usually sell very fast. JMNSHO
707 is being discussed. I especially like the comments from certain posters that
call out others for high prices yet have tried the very same thing in the past and wouldn't turn down
a buck.
just in time for 2010, what's next years goal??
