Didn't do the Grand Total, but I picked up the PSA 9 Herzog. Just short on a few others. Man I was salivating. Wished I had about 30 grand to drop. Whitey will have to do

Jeff, Great pickup on the Psa 9 Whitey Herzog card. you've really made a big improvement on you're set in a fairly short time. congratulations and good luck with future upgrades. PB

pb19991 · August 28, 2008 12:34PM

Just wanted to send out a congratulations to Don Johnson [ Mariner } for the completion of his awesome 1960 set, all 8's or better. WOW along with his fantastic 1959 set i am envious. again congrats on completing the set Don and good luck with the other sets you're working on. Phil

sinnbadd · August 28, 2008 1:36PM

Awesome Job!!! I am trying to do the same. It gets tough as nails as you get closer! Way to go!

mariner · August 28, 2008 1:55PM

Thanks, Phil!! I really appreciate the congrats and comments. It is a tough one, as you very well know, but it is a labor of love. The 1960 Topps baseball set is fantastic IMHO.

Yankeeefan · August 28, 2008 10:19PM

Awesome Job!! It really is a lobor of love...sometimes one falls out of love before they get close to finishing, which is my case.

I think this an fantastic set too! With the exception of a couple of raw cards I'd like to upgrade and a few cards already graded, I've nearly completed a raw set.
If anyone is looking for 1960 baseball graded in Psa 7 or higher take a look at my Registry Set (I'm 4theboyz... ranked in the mid 40s) I have about 75-85 cards graded PSA 8 or above.

Awesome job on the completion of this great set!!

This thread needs to be revived...I love this set! Anyone have any for sale in 7 & up? LMK.....

This is my favorite set from the 60s. I have been working on it for about 20 years with my goal to finish it while I am still alive (odds 50-50). I purchased some PSA 8s and then the lower quality cards did not look so good in comparison so I decided to do it in 8. Although I have over 400 in 8 I need the big dollar cards to complete it. I may finish the set with lower rated cards and then upgrade as able. I do have some dups for trade or sale. #148 Yaz rookie PSA 6, # 132 Howard rookie PSA 6, # 173 Billy Martin PSA 7, #60, 276, 325, all PSA 8. After I update my registry set I will have quite a few more dups.

Looks like it's been a while since someone posted on this thread, but I thought I'd add a scan of a unique 1960 Topps item.

Yes, you can clearly see the Sandy Koufax card through the wrapper. Who knows that else is inside this wax beauty?

And yes, 1960 Topps is my favorite baseball set of all.

abkindc · November 30, 2010 11:26PM

Does anyone know which set was broken up and sold on ebay the past few days? Whoever had it, it looks like it was a beautiful set, congratulations on putting it together!

I was happy to grab some cards I needed from the sale. Generally the prices looked to be very strong and, in some cases, surprisingly high.

BasherBoy · February 3, 2012 8:56PM

new to these boards, working on a 60 set in 7/8 and about 83% complete. Anybody selling/trading extras?

Brick · February 3, 2012 11:26PM

My (bricks) set on the registry is made up of duplicates. LMK if any are on your want list.

mariner · February 4, 2012 9:36AM

I have a few dupes....shoot me a PM.

BasherBoy · February 4, 2012 8:10PM

pm's sent Don and Ralph...thanks!

Brick · February 5, 2012 1:28AM

pm returned.

BasherBoy · February 5, 2012 8:37AM

PM sent again Ralph...actually 2 pm's sent because I'm not well organized sometimes

mariner · February 5, 2012 9:27AM

Dan....great set you have there...congrats!! I checked but you already have the cards that I have available. Good luck!

BasherBoy · February 5, 2012 9:31AM

Thanks Don, love to have one as nice as yours one day! I appreciate you checking your extras.

EDIT:

My 60 set in progress

chelseafc11 · March 4, 2012 12:01PM

Anyone interested in this? Let me know. May be willing to part with it

BasherBoy · March 4, 2012 12:34PM

intersted in what?

chelseafc11 · March 4, 2012 12:46PM

<< <i>intersted in what? >>

There should be a picture in my post. I can see it, haha. Its a 1960 Topps #551 Ed Rakow PSA 9

BasherBoy · March 4, 2012 1:23PM

ahh now I see the scan...pm sent

BasherBoy · March 19, 2012 5:09PM

Anybody have any nice 1960's for sale or trade??

BasherBoy · April 11, 2012 12:55PM

Anybody have any nice 1960 Topps to sell or trade??

Brick · April 13, 2012 11:06PM

My latest pickup. Down to the last 60 I need in 8

GDM67 · April 14, 2012 2:46PM

That is a wonderful card. Burdette and Buhl were both quality pitchers (Bob owned the Dodgers about as much as O'Malley did) in their own right.

arex · April 15, 2012 7:45AM

Anybody have any HoF cards they would be willing to part with?
looking for PSA 6-7
Thanks
Arex

Brick · April 23, 2012 10:43PM

picked up another.

BasherBoy · April 24, 2012 5:06AM

nice one, and that's 2 in a row that I still need!

Brick · April 29, 2012 12:20PM

An upgrade to my set.

BasherBoy · April 29, 2012 12:29PM

I wondered who grabbed that...was kicking myself for not getting it quickly enough

BasherBoy · April 30, 2012 8:35AM

grabbed this one for my set today. Had a 7 that wasn't the best looking, so a nice upgrade. Says pop 2, 4 higher...so not bad.

Brick · May 5, 2012 11:51AM

Another upgrade. I need 26 more cards to complete the set. I need 57 in PSA 8. I also purchased #307 which I had in 8 but thought it may have been overgraded.

BasherBoy · May 5, 2012 12:04PM

got any extra 8's Ralph?

Brick · May 5, 2012 2:54PM

Only #106 and 307 which are in my Unisquare store. All the others I had are gone.

Brick · May 7, 2012 7:35AM

I'll soon have an extra thanks to my old brain which does not fire on all cylinders. I need #78 which I bid on a couple times this year but not high enough. I read the name on #177 and think it is the one that got away. I am the present high bidder well above VCP. I thought about retracting my bid and no big deal because the new high bid would be only $1 below my bid. See my brain doesn't work. With my bid gone the new high bid would be about $60 lower which would not be fair to the seller for one reason many who saw my bid simply moved on. I can't retract and bid again below the underbidder as that would make me a shiller and we know what a kruk of crap they are. I'll just eat this one, compare it to my other, keep the best and put the other in my store. And to make matters worse I am not close to my maximum bid yet.

BasherBoy · May 7, 2012 6:14PM

love to have the Gardner, but it's just more than I want to give for one right now. I think I'd just pull my bid on the other one. I doubt the seller will be out much (I was planning on bidding again at the end before it jumped up $60).

BasherBoy · June 24, 2012 2:15PM

Still looking. Need 25 to finish my set (though I have a bunch that I hope to upgrade also) Anybody have any of these? Looking for 8's...would consider certain 7's.

BasherBoy · July 29, 2012 12:57AM

picked up this as an upgrade for my set. Anybody have any 60's they'd sell or trade? Haven't found much lately for my set.

Griffins · July 29, 2012 8:31AM

Picked this up a few months ago. I've been tracking these for years, and one finally came up. It's only the 3rd to come up since '95, so I was pretty happy to come out on top. Can't wait to get it matted and framed.

bishop · July 29, 2012 9:56AM

Very nice Anthony

mariner · August 7, 2012 1:50PM

That is a very sweet item, Anthony!

BasherBoy · September 6, 2012 12:18PM

anybody have any nice 1960 extras they would trade or sell? need 12 more to finish my set (plus a bunch of upgrades lol)

hankcaddy · July 24, 2021 3:13AM

Started the 1960 team set today

Bumping a pretty old thread

GDM67 · July 24, 2021 8:14PM

I really like the Roberts card from that year.

mariner · July 25, 2021 5:53AM

Good for you, hank caddy!

mariner · July 25, 2021 5:57AM

I can throw out some beauties.....

hankcaddy · July 25, 2021 7:05AM
