1987 Topps TTM Thread

[J_A_S_Z]

Dang, this is coming along nicely! I have been following this since you started and it has me inspired to try a TTM set for a different Topps set. Keep it up!

Thanks you for the kind words. Has been a real fun one for sure but is starting to get a bit tougher. I think I can get another 50 TTM if I keep it up, but after that it's all trades and buying. Then comes the decision to try and get Howser and Wright....$$$

Chet lemon is super tuff to get

Dumb luck with Lemon, had a guy in the area who was going to high school tourney and he was able to get him done.

Got an upgrade on my Lapoint via TTM, have a card signed in black for trade.

Added Joe Niekro, another deceased player, with personalization To Jimmy but the auto was one that doesn't come available to often so I took it. Will need an upgrade but will do for now until I can get another.
