I've been collecting since 1975 and completed each Topps set from 1975 to 2010. I stopped collecting newer sets and started to work backwards starting with 1974. I now have complete sets from 1969 to 2010. My want list is down to one card for my 1968 Topps set. Yep, the Nolan Ryan rookie card. I don't know if I will start a 1967 due to too many short prints. Also, completed a 1961 Fleer set. I liked the set due to the colors and stars on each card.
My latest project is the 1955 Bowman set. As a kid I picked up all the major stars for (Mantle, Mays, Kaline, Aaron, etc.) for next to nothing. My want list is down to 56 cards, mostly high numbers.
One regret that I have with my completed sets is I wished I would have stopped with the 1984 set. All the time that I put in collecting 1985-2010 could have been spent more wisely. Oh well.
