After a few years of being lazy, finally finished this set

moxacaine · Dec 27, 2011

1958 Topps, Its low grade, probably an average of VG. Feels good finishing it up though. I also have the contest card and advertisement card. For anyone interested here is a link to my photobucket with scans of the whole set.

No clue on how much it cost as i didn't keep track of my spending. I probably could have bought a full set for less than what i paid for it but that defeats the purpose of building a set.

An accomplishment is a great way to end the year.

Nice work Ken. And money aside, building a set far beats buying it outright.

BIGTIME CONGRATS!

You should be proud of that :grouphug:

Thanks guys, i think the only addition i want to make to it is to get a 58 Topps wrapper. I think it would be a nice touch.

fantastic!! It's such a great feeling to kill off a vintage set.

Awesome!
I've been lazy puting my '58 set together too.
I really need to finish it this year. I only need 28 cards (see sig).
I have most of the big cards like Mantle, Maris, Mays, Williams, Aaron, Koufax, etc., but I still need Clemente and a few other stars.
My set's condition averages about VG as well.
It was my Dad's favorite set when he was a kid and he loves looking through my set in the binder.

I, too have been lagging on my '58 set.

Very nice though!

That's fantastic, loving the vintage set building!

How do you store the set?

Nice job. I'm always tempted to start a vintage set when I see threads like this.

I have them stored in pages. I like to be able to flip through and look at them.

What would be a good vintage set to start? Something that's a challenge but not impossible. And I'd rather spend hundreds than thousands.

Awesome. I'm working on a 1960 set that is similar....very cool to have something 50+ years old like that in your collections.
