The actual joy of a completed set

COMC came through earlier than projected.  I received the last three cards for my 1965 Philadelphia Gum Football set yesterday.  

The third card refused to scan properly.  It was  Charley Johnson of the St. Louis Cardinals.  I have now finished the 1969 Topps set and this set.  Today I got some cards for my 1957 Topps Football build at the Local Card Show.  I missed seeing the Diamond King there. 

There is a big show coming up at the Oregon Convention Center in three weeks.  Looking forward to seeing what I can find there.

 

First 2025 card

 

The Joy of a Completed Set (kinda)

 My 1965 Philadelphia Football is kinda complete.  The last two cards I needed were Jim Brown and local hero Mel Renfro.  I used to work with a guy who went to high school with Mr. Renfro.

I say the set is kinda of complete, because before I bought these I ordered the other three cards I needed from COMC, I ordered them in late January and according to the website they will be shipped March 3.  This is the first time I have ordered from COMC, is this kind of delay normal?  So now that the Philadelphia set is kinda done I am working on the 1965 Topps football set.  Again I am looking for cards in poor to fair condition.  I found someone today who had one card at the card show.  So I guess it will be an Ebay quest.  

I met up with The Diamond King at the show today and he gave me a Blake Snell card I didn't have and the Bull Durham card featured in a recent post on his blog.  I mentioned that Fuji was coming to town and we are going to try and meet up with him.  Hopefully Gavin will be able to meet up with us also.  

Thanks for stopping by.
