As the focus of my collecting has changed, I’ve started new projects. Last weekend I started two new ones, allowing this one card to go into three different sets.
It had been awhile since I’d picked up and 1955 Topps All-American cards. I hadn’t abandoned my set, but had focused on other projects.
Last weekend I was thinking about PSA Registry (more to come on why soon) and as I was researching, I went ahead and signed up with the site, entered the four cards from the set that I have and started a set registry. There are two registries for the set, the base set and the master set. The master set is just two more cards than the base.
I believe that while working on the project will be slow, it will be enjoyable. I am an analytical and competitive person. As I add cards my rank will go up. I won’t ever end up toward the top, but that’s okay. After this addition, I have the 101st ranked base set and the 43rd ranked master set.
The card is a low grade, but all the ones that I have are. I filtered on eBay by lowest price and picked this one up for $6 and free shipping. I wasn’t going to pass that up. It’s another one checked off the list.
Current Progress:
1955 All-American: 64/100
1955 All-American Base PSA Registry: 5/100
1955 All-American Master PSA Registry: 5/102
