There are 5997 Topps base cards in the 1960's and I've now compiled 5897 of them thanks to recent acquisitions from the 63T set. So, where are these holes in my decade collection? There are only 4 sets left for me to collect in the 60's decade. From least to most, 67T (-3), 64T (-8), 61T (-39), and 63T (-50). I never imagined ever being so close to the 63T set at 91% completion. I think the Pete Rose RC card always scared me off with its $1000 BV. It's probably one of 2 cards I'll never own from the 60's decade--the other being the Tom Seaver RC. What's interesting about my 63T checklist is that I now have everything marked off up to #393, which means I can focus on a small portion of the checklist instead of looking all over the 63T set for needs. Here are a few of my new 1963's.
Back in 1987, I could only dream of owning the entire collection of Topps/Bowman baseball cards. Today, this dream has nearly become a reality as I complete one vintage set after another. My strategy has been to build sets efficiently by focusing on the lowest grades possible. My goal has simply been to just own the original cards. This blog shares my journey of collecting, organizing, and enjoying my collection of Topps/Bowman baseball cards.
