@@t206kid yea I’m around 50% done with the t206 set, definitely burns you out haha. Just so many expensive cards. The 53 seems to be tied up mostly in the mantle and mays
@@t206kid if I go for it, I think my plan will be to get a big group of commons at once, and then a Paige and Robinson. Add the mantle and mays when one comes up that makes sense. I wanted to go for a 520 card t206 set, but I think I’ll probably have to settle for a 518, and the cobbs make even that a headache.
Hey Tony, I just came across a potential dozen '53 cards but they don't pass the light test. The feel and the look seems correct. Could you tell me if your 53 cards let any light through? It would save me money from sending them to an authenticator if the card stock doesn't pass the light test😢
Beautiful !!
One thing about Kluszewski, yes he had a 4 year period where he hit 171 home runs, but his career he only hit 279 total.
I’m burning out on my pre war sets (t206 and 41 playball) think I might add a topps set to take a break and 53 is at the top of my list
1953 is a challenge, but no where near those pre war cards

@@bec630 yes, the mantle, Mays, and to a little lesser extent the Jackie and Paige

Put them in card order, but leave spots open for cards you're missing so you don't have to keep taking them out and putting them back in.
I will start doing that. I do that with my 1969 set that I'm working on, but I haven't for some reason with 1953

How about the Mantle and Mays cards?
Don't have them yet. Very expensive cards
