Thought that i would share one of my personal items on here. This set is 50% graded and i have another 40% in raw cards to the set worthy of the same grades. The set ranks 6.42 GPA. My goal when i started was to obtain a PSA 6.5 set but i'm happy with the 6.42, their 1955's.

Whoooooa! That is Awsom Electraglide....! Thanks for Sharin this...!
Wow! I only have about 10 cards in the set, most valuable cards being Al Kaline's and Bob Lemon's Bowman rookie cards.....both I would grade out between a 5 and 6.
I'm glad you enjoyed them. I wish i could have showed more detail of them but it was hard just to spread them out for those pictures. I won't be looking at them much longer because when the sets complete i'm giving it to my son. I've been building these to give to him when completed. I'll share my Cal Ripkens one day, my last count i think i was at around 3,000 Ripken cards.
Wow! I think the most I have of any one sports figure is Cris Carter at about 100 or so...My dad has always said his collection is going to me. Both of ours are still growing, but there aren't a lot of cards he has that I don't also have.
