Congratulations, it's always a great feeling of accomplishment to complete a series. You should feel proud. Maybe you can show us some more?
Cheers, Bill

Did you fill an eempty album, or did you just collect and make your own album. In any case, congrats.

Quote: My first job was to complete it, Now I am going to try and up grade the set. Isn't that... just going to cost more than had you bought high(er) grades the first time around? I don't do less that AU-58; if there's a hole somewhere, I live with the hole until I can fill it. Buy once, cry once. Besides that, any pics of a full page? The beauty of completion is seeing it all together!

Quote: Buy once, cry once. While I agree with that approach... when I fill a hole I am done... there are many out there who like to play the "upgrade game." It allows them to continue focusing on a series they enjoy. Some will put their upgraded coin into a second set... then a third, and so on; for example refer to just carl's twelve Mercury dime albums! Quote: Besides that, any pics of a full page?

I have tried to take pictures of the pages but I keep getting file that are way too big. I have down graded the photos to the lowest setting on my camera but they are still over 1 mb. I have tried to scan them but that didn't help. I guess I just need a better camera.
