Thank you Jim and Scott! I couldn't resist the urge to purchase a nicely centered card. Most of my set is mid-grade. I still love it and enjoy all of my 58's but sometimes its nice to splurge a little....LOL

What a great day today. Finally another person in my home town that collects baseball cards. Met with a man today after talking 50's baseball and he has a near complete set of 58 Topps baseball raw in NM or better. Very excited about filling gaps with those cards. We talked for 15 minutes about cards and the good ole days and exchanged address, phone numbers emails etc. Should be able to meet with him soon and work out a deal on those cards im needing for the set. Just great to meet up with another collector so close.

That's some good news for you Rob! Hopefully you will be able to add some cards needed to complete your set, or at least upgrade some of your lower-end cards.
