Debating about starting 1952 Topps Baseball

[scottkoz20]

I have been debating since I got my Jackie Robinson back from PSA (and it was not altered) if I wanted to sell that OR look to build the set myself.

So, I think I want to try to see what I can do in getting this set built. I don't have much free cash at the moment but let me know what you have if you are looking to move items.

This is a cool project, hope you finish it!

good call
I am making the same attempt. I decided to try to build the low series in any condition raw or graded.
so far I have 22 ranging from PSA 1 to PSA 8OC.

Good luck with that Scott. I imagine the Mantle will be the costliest card.

Unless you have 50-75K to spend, dont bother trying. The high #s are insane and hard to find, and the Mantle is so expensive you could buy a nice car for the price of it. Its an ambitious project, but I feel you would get frustrated as it is hard as hell

I get your point Ed, however, I'm not worried about the money at this point as I am so far away from completing the set, it would be pickup items as I go. I probably will also grade most everything and look to sell/trade down. I am fine with having a bunch of PSA 1-3s, where if I get a 5-8 somewhere, I can use that to fund other items.

In all honesty, I have not had any real hobby projects/goals since 2016 (when I took SCF over). I personally need to find the fun again and get back to what I enjoy most about this hobby, or that will more frustrate me.
