My three favorite sets vintage! Have the stars minus the clemente in 7+ just need the commons in 54 and 55. 56 is done just resisting the urge to always try and upgrade it.

Currently working on '54 thru '56 Topps sets. 1954 - only missing Aaron  1955 - have all the commons, missing about 8 stars 1956 - only missing Mantle Starting to buy lots of '60s commons in Ex/Mt or better as I plan on going after those next. I also collect pre-war and post-war HOFers.
Sent my 54 Aaron for grading, waiting to see what it gets.
I also got the 56 #135 Mantle, graded by PSA 1 (poor) but still nice to own

Im going to have to say my first priority is finishing the 1981 Topps Football set in as close to MINT condition as possible.
Secondly I wanna finish my 1958 Topps Baseball set in all SGC. Im at 62% now and have slowed down to an almost halt at this point but still wanna complete it.
Third I wanna try to pick up a few cards in the next few years that I just wanna have in my little collection. Here are a few:
1975 George Brett
1979 Ozzie Smith
1968 Nolan Ryan
1986 Jerry Rice
1984 Dan Marino
1979 Wayne Gretzky (the only hockey rookie i want)
1965 Joe Namath
Just a few rookies ive had and let go that i want back.....and keep this time.

Even in the condition that PSA says its in, this is one beautiful card and is a classic! Great card brother.

Rob,
I own the most gorgeous 1981 Topps football set ever assembled. It's raw, but would blow away anything that 's on the registry. It’s complete minus the Montana RC. I assembled it myself several years ago from a dealer that bought in bulk back in 1981. He must have had 40-50 of each card (several 5000 ct boxes). I went thru card by card picking out the best ones for my set. It’s for sale if you’re interested.
