You don't need both FEs for your Type Set, but it would be hard to make a choice!

Beautiful examples.

If you are going to continue making a type set of those grades, hopefully you are very wealthy.

You may want to consider starting a 7070 PCGS registry set. The registry is a nice place to display your photos and keep your collection organized, but do not get caught up in the points game and competition as the first place is held by billionare Hanson.

Are you using an album for your set off a kind of freestyle system with pockets for your slabs?

As they get rarer and more pricey, the grade will come down. Lol

I will keep track of progress on a spreadsheet and a PCGS Registry. I am open to suggestions on keeping the collection organized physically. PCGS storage boxes vs binder with pages?

I keep my slabbed Ike set in this Lighthouse box...

You would probably need two for a full type set. (Or one of these along with the 25 holder version.)

I am a longtime Dansco guy and thought about using a binder for the slabbed set. However, I am quite satisfied with the box.

I prefer the NGC Registry.
It's more complete.

JBuck, those lighthouse boxes are very nice. I'm thinking they would be good for my IHC set too.
