Default My journey

Who's completed it?
I got to 520 in 2008.

How'd you do it? (graded, raw, grading company, grade?)
Anyway possible.. cards ranged from Authentic-VG.. most were FR-GD. The best way to get the cards is in lots of 150-200.. get the best ones/ones you need out... and sell all the dupes to try and minimize the cost of the ones your kept.

How long did it take?
6 months of non stop looking

How did you feel when you were finished?
About as good as you would think. Not easy to put together the 520 set. Even tougher if you try to stay within a $12,000 budget

How close did you come to giving up?
never was going to stop until after I got to 520... but I had to sell the set a few months after completeing it due to house repairs. That really sucked.. the best part however is that you can always try again.

Most satisfying moment?
Completeing the set and taking the time to make a online photo album of it.. you can post the Link to your set.. and see others feedback on your hardwork.. Here was the photo album I created.. so even though they are sold.. I can still check out what I once put together..
