Milestone Finally Reached!!!

[bsatttu]

On my 2009 goals, my primary one was to reach 75% on upgrading my 48 Bowman set to PSA 5 or better. I only had 20 at the beginning of the year, and I didn't think I was going to do it, but someone on another site came through with SIX that I needed. Of the 48 total cards, I now have 38 in PSA 5 or better, 3 PSA 4's that I will eventually upgrade, and only 7 left raw. I know this isn't a huge deal for some, but for me it is. I started building the set raw in 2002 and worked on it off and on until 2006, when I decided to upgrade it to PSA cards. Upgrades still come in spurts, but I hope to finish it off next year some time. I won't post all of the scans here, but they can all be seen on my website

Here are some highlights with two that I still need upgrades for:

Thanks for looking!

Those are some fine looking cards Britt! Tremendous dedication. Hopefully one day you can be satisfied with your set and enjoy them.

lol... that's no joke. I really do think once I upgrade the last 10 cards I will be done this time I have like 10 other sets I would like to tackle and would really like to put this one to bed.

That's the beauty (and heartache) of vintage set-building...even when the set is complete, it's not really DONE.

Awesome job!!!

And I thought I was helping out a lot with your 1978 Topps set. Those are really nice cards. I really like the Feller card. Rapid Robert is really getting up there in age and it is nice to see a card of him when he looked a lot younger.

Nice looking set! Is that Yogi Berra card looks likes one in the Bench contests? Best regards, David

I hear ya! I'm glad I am upgrading them to at least EX, but I am done with it after this. It will be time to move on to the next big project

The 78's were a really big help! Once I finish it and the last few 97 Topps, my Topps run from '77 to present will be done, which is my other big project.

Ya, there was a Yogi RC in the best vintage card class, I think. It was much, much nicer than mine, though.... and about 10x more expensive. I would love to have that one

very nice cards.

Thanks!
