Fantastic set. I started the 1985 Topps football way back in 2004 and I'm #2 on the set registry. I have 356 of 396 in PSA 10 and this is the 1st year that I haven't added a PSA 10 to my set because there just aren't any out there in the wild. But like you said Little Victories maybe someday I'll get a perfect set with all 10's. It's the process that's joyful
I’m so impressed! 1985 topps football has to be one of the most condition sensitive sets ever! Great work 🤙 And you’re exactly right…it’s the process that’s the most fun! Happy New Year and best of luck on your set
Awesome video! It’s been pretty cool watching your videos and seeing your sets grow. I also wanted to say thanks for inspiring me to start my own sets. I recently completed my 1997 Hoops High Voltage set and will be doing a video on it as soon as I get my Jordan in the mail. I think the next one I will try to complete is the 1996 Star Date 2000 set. Thansk for always sharing and congrats on how far you’ve gotten!
You have such great taste in sets! And big congrats on completing your high voltage set. I’ll definitely watch your vid on it when it drops. Thanks for the support always! LV
Awesome set that you are collecting! I wish you the best in 2025 to get more cards added to the set. I started small and decided to collect all of Joe Montana's Topps card set in PSA 8 or better. So far I just need the 1981, 1982 and 1986 cards. Its doable I just haven't pulled the trigger on the cards because of the holidays. Thanks for sharing your video as always!
Really enjoyed the video and the cards of course! Keep it up. Biggest lesson is patience. Dont feel the need to buy or sell every card immediately! Especially if you are chasing a set or rainbow
I don’t sell my refractors because I hoard them..but I’ll be honest I did sell my gold and two black lebrons via major Auctionhouse at the high and turned them into two free & clear rental properties couldn’t of been a better return for my children’s financial freedom. I’ve never been a Lebron fan so it was easy to move them at the hype..I think you will get there eventually it’s all a journey plus I think his cards will have more of a pullback than they’ve already had. Keep pushing refractor ❤
I wish I would have been as smart as you at the peak! Congrats on the successful financial decisions 🤙 And I appreciate ya watching. Happy New Year! LV
Your story is alot like mine. Collected alot through my childhood. Then I got back into cards in 2003 chasing Lebron rookies. I ended up opening some 03 Topps Chrome. Pulled the Wade base got it graded in 2019 sold at peak in 2020 for 1500 in a 10. Good luck on that Gold set! Impressive so far
That’s definitely an inspiring video. I totally understand what you’re saying you feel like there’s no way because you’re going in against people that have far more money than you and you’re doing your best to plug along. I feel that way I’m number three on LeBron James, Master list, and I feel that I’m never going to make it to the top because it’s just so daunting of a task but I chug along, and I think you should do the same don’t give up no matter what, just because you’re not a millionaire doesn’t mean you can’t do it it’s just harder
Exactly…love your comment. Let’s keep chugging along 🤙 And big congrats on being #3 on the lebron master! Now that’s inspirational too 🙌 Happy New Year! LV
Thanks! And if ever interested, just search ‘graded card binder’ on Amazon and they should pop up. Look to spend around $30-40 bucks each for one (pages come with it) 👍 Happy New Year! LV
I’ll be sad too, especially cuz I haven’t owned the black refractor set very long. Who knows. I’ll just leave it to fate and trust when it’s a time to sell 👍 Happy New Year to you too! 🎆🤘
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 Thanks! Just wanted to let you know I'm sending the Prizm Gold Bradshaw PSA 10 to the PSA vault this month and the Kuechly Topps Chrome Gold RC will be listed soon online as well. I can't remember what other cards you were asking me to remind you of, but just giving you a heads up before I ship/list them. If you are interested, let me know!
Ever thought about having your subscribers assist you with finding these cards. Maybe say I’m looking for these cards. Once you have them then move to the next few cards
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 boy that's a good question...the old adage "getting there is half the fun" I think applies. When you can just buy anything you want it becomes less special. That said, I wouldn't mind having his money lol
...true that! I would need someone to give me that kind of money so I can put that question to the test, lol. But in all seriousness, I feel like having to save up money to buy a card makes it that much more special in the collection :)
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 exactly. I sold my Brady contenders rookie to fund the new direction of my collecting. It was tough to see it go but ya gotta make smart decisions in this hobby

Great video fam! This has inspired me to get a 2004 Finest refractor graded set going. Keep grinding!
Thanks! You should definitely start the 2004 finest refractor set 🤙 Great design and shine.
Happy New Year! LV

I wish you the best on your set too! The 1981 topps Montana is an amazing/iconic card 🙌
Really enjoyed the video and the cards of course! Keep it up.

Stoked you enjoyed the vid! Great call…patience is a very important virtue, especially in collecting 🤙
Thank you for sharing. I just completed 2008-09 SPX die cut, double sided holo set. Kobe and LeBron cost a bit but it brings me joy. 😊
Amazing set! I love the design. And the checklist is solid. Can’t beat 2000’s sets with Kobe and Lebron in them
The last bit of advice is the true… little victories.. (sorry had to.) happy New Year LV!
Thanks for sticking around til the end of the vid and listening to that part 😊 I’m always wishing you and your fam the best! Happy New Year 🎆
Just started collecting and you are a great person!
I really appreciate you saying that 🙌 Welcome to the world of collecting! You will love it, and the hunt for cards is so much fun. Happy New Year!
@@littlevictoriessportscards197happy new year and thank you!
Dang that's nice 👌..where did u get da psa slab pages from ? For binders
Amazon 🤘 Just search ‘graded card binder’ and they should pop up. They’re around $35 bucks :)

Great timing selling the Wade when you did! Very undervalued card nowadays. Nice to hear from someone who collected when I did 🤙 Happy New Year!
That guy who is building the PSA 10 set bought the NENE from me!
That means you probably made some good money on that one 🤘 Congrats on the sale! I always appreciate ya watching and commenting. Happy New Year!
Nice collection & great advice!
I appreciate ya saying that! Thanks for taking the time to watch my vids. Wish ya all the best in 2025 🎆
Likewise! Happy New Year!

Amazing! Very cool binder storage, what do you use for binder and pages?
Thanks! And if ever interested, just search ‘graded card binder’ on Amazon and they should pop up. Look to spend around $30-40 bucks each for one (pages come with it) 👍 Happy New Year! LV
Good luck with the rest of the set. Hope you'll have opportunities to sell some of those 10s and get 5-7 other cards in 9s in their place.
That’s a good call! I really should do that, but it’s so hard to part with those gems 😅
Heck yeah LV, 3 to go! It'll be sad to see the black make way for the golds, but upgrades are upgrades... Happy New Year man!
I’ll be sad too, especially cuz I haven’t owned the black refractor set very long. Who knows. I’ll just leave it to fate and trust when it’s a time to sell 👍 Happy New Year to you too! 🎆🤘

Gorgeous Set!! Do you have a list of the ones you think you should crack and resub?
Yep! You know me too well 😃 There are definitely some 9’s that could be 10’s, and 8’s that should be 9’s. Happy New Year! 🎊
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 I'd expect nothing less! lol
The 'chance' is worth the upgrade, it seems.
Happy New Year Man!
great vid!
Thanks for appreciating it 🤙 Happy New Year!

Nope :) Cuz the fun is in the hunt 😃 I like your thinking though. Happy New Year!
Im new to the hobby how do you justify the cost of grading cards for your pc?
Personal happiness 😎
But I do kinda make sure my PC cards have a nice long term investment potential too
How many cards are in this set?
165 🙌 So pretty doable, just that LeBron is gonna kill me 😅
What’s 10.98 grade?
To be honest I’m not quite sure how PSA set registry gives that number. Cuz you would think the grade couldn’t be more than 10 🤷♂️
Gold refractors the best csrd in the hobby well snything gold /10 i need a reggie miller
Agreed! Even prizm /10 golds are high on my list. I need the Reggie Miller too 😃 Happy New Year! And I really appreciate ya watching
Nat probably has some of the ones you sold off lol
I’m sure he does lol 😂 Question…would having Nat kinda money make collecting more fun or less fun?
