Figured I'd go ahead and get this started.

Wanted to try and put together a set this year as a hobby goal, selected the 1954 set, just getting HOF'ers together first. Have the two William's at SGC for reslabs, but picked this up yesterday and it's absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks to a member here for a fair deal on the Sandy

Awesome card! Just out of curiosity I’d love to ask a question. I randomly decided I wanted to put together the 1967 set. I have no real plan, but decided to start by picking stars/HOFs. And every now and then I’ll pick of a few minor stars. How do you go about it when you collect a vintage set? Look for bulk commons after you have all the rc/stars or in parallel?

Cheers

In a similar boat as this is my first vintage set that I'm attempting to piece together.

I've been fortunate thus far, as my local shops have netted me a majority of the base cards, and the Mays posted above. My method really has just been to print out the check list, and start on a weekly basis just trying to pick up 10-15 commons to cross off. It's been tedious finding cards that meet my requirements though, as I'm trying to get everything (minus the Aaron) in a "5" or better.

There's a vintage FB group that's been amazing for me as well "Vintage Baseball Cards Only 1868-1979". Wonderful group of collectors who have been nothing but amazing in providing info.

I would check out eBay and net54baseball forums for people selling bulk commons. If you try to put it together card by card without a good starting point, it would be frustrating and really expensive. COMC is also a great place to find cards you need. A lot of the low number base for 1967 can be had for less than 70 cents per card. Right now, even getting a Mantle/Aaron or other stars in decent condition in 1967 can get super expensive. Finding a wrinkled Seaver with bad corners under $700 is pretty difficult. A filler card with 10% of the surface missing on the front recently sold for $485.

My latest Jazz pickup. I love Stadium Club Gold Minted cards. Hoping this is a breakout year for him. He just needs to cut down on strike outs a bit, and stay healthy.

VandyCards · 04-01-2022, 09:14 PM

Couple nice Beedes here.

The black puts me at almost done the paper RC rainbow. Just need the Clear /10. If anyone has a lead on one, lemme know

UF #4 is a modern blue chip. One the smartest buys you can make right now. I bought two raws for $20 a pop a while back and was able to get a 9.8 and a 9.6 on them.

That Ichiro 1993 BBM is awesome!

BGeezy · 04-03-2022, 01:11 PM

Just got a COMC order in which had the last card I needed to complete this set:

A few other highlights...

Both Boog and Bronson are from Key West, figured it would be cool to have a Heritage card of Arroyo that honors the set from Boog's rookie year.

Another Key West Conch...

A little hockey...

And of course Yordan...

dboll20 · 04-03-2022, 07:16 PM

Snagged this off Myslabs last week and I am excited to have it in hand! A great 8 for a great price!
