I was just thinking to myself yesterday, if I had to trade my Grace collection for someone else's player collection on these boards, who's would it be? And your Santos were my first choice.

Now looking at your registery... even more convinced! Sweet stuff.

Two comments:
The description on 1962-1965 JAY PUBLISHING PHOTOS-TYPE 2 RON SANTO TANK IN BACKGROUND made me laugh. I was thinking an Army Tank before I clicked on the photo. Was envisioning the Cubs under attack!

Never knew about the 1963 wrong photo card. That was new for me. Cool error!

That's really impressive! Big thumbs up for providing scans of your collection - I know the registry high rollers typically don't provide them, but when I'm browsing the registry, I'm always drawn to the folks who take the time to show their collection off.

I'm guessing because of scarcity the Venezuelan and Bazookas you're missing are high dollar cards, right? Do you have a plan/timetable for picking those off?

Again, beautiful collection. Congrats on reaching the registration mountaintop!

Brad- Thanks for the nice words. The Jays Publishing photos do have some cool descriptions. I just need to build a website as cool as yours someday.

Thanks for the nice comments. Some of the set registry guys hate to show off their cards as they are so competitive but I like to be able to look at them as you mentioned as there as some great collections out there. I am in the process of acquring all of the Venezuelan cards that I need in the next 6 months but they are so expensive. As for the Bazooka's, I may never acquire 3 of the panels as the 61 has Mantle on it and the 68's have too many HOFers on them as they are large panels. The search continues though.

The 65 Topps is just an awesome card. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. Actually the only PSA 10 of that card just closed Monday night for a cool $1776. Needless to say it was out of my price range.

Awesome collection.
I noticed the pictures are switched for the 1974 Topps Stamps and the 1974 Topps Traded cards.

The PSA set collectors have very deep pockets which is why it can be so tough to acquire low numbered high grade vintage cards.
