Thanks guys, glad to be able to share with people who appreciate it. Not too many people,, other than the various message boards, can share a passion! My friends would probably think I was nuts if the saw the amount of cards, cost, etc. But hey I think it makes me happy!

Been a while since I've picked up anything, or even posted, but I snagged this at a decent price in hopes of getting it signed and off to PSA/DNA

Love it!

I almost bought one PSA/DNA a few years back but it was a tad out of my budget at the time. That card looks GREAT signed.

I think I remember that Scotty, you did pick up a 56 signed didn't you? Great looking cards to get signed.

Nice Card. Its one of my favorite from the '55 set.


Well the best example of the 55 Killebrew I have is a PSA 5, but your set is one that I've admired from when you first started it to when you finally finished it just a few years later. Hows the hunt for 56 topps going? The run of 55-57 topps are my favorite topps has put out.

Also even though I've posted very little for the last year or so, this is my 5,000th. Yay for me I guess

Yep, I would recommend picking up a low grade 56' with nice eye appeal as well, to get signed:

I'm trying to decide where the best spot on the card would be to get it signed, to the right of his face, or under his chin. Either of those make the logical place to me.

WOW! Insane steal, Jay....I bet you couldn't hit that BIN fast enough. ;)


I actually got a huge card in the mail today but for some reason my printer software won't install on my dads desktop so I can't scan it. :(

Thank you for those kind comments. I have slowly been putting the '56 set together. I am pretty much done with the 1 st series 1-100 but I am having a really tough time finding the #1 card william harridge, #90 Redlegs team card and #100 Orioles team card in PSA 7.

I have since started the 2nd series and I have picked up about 10 or so no namers in the past week. Once I stop being lazy and get out my scanner I will scan those cards and post them on here. I already have the key card in the 2nd series the Mantle, I picked that up about 6 months ago with a really cheap BIN. Picked it up for $750, not sure if the seller knew what he had or just needed the money but I thought I got a good deal on that one. He put it on Ebay about 4 hours before I found it and I bought it Johnny on the spot :D I wish you the best in your collecting.
