Default The 1952 Topps Set:

Also known as the impossible dream (completing it anyway)

Some months ago, I decided to take on the easier portion of the set, cards 1-280. With the two cards shown here, I have completed that.

Next are the next thirty cards: #'s 281-310. I just purchased ten of those thirty along with six others I already owned. So, I need just 16 more to have the first 310 cards of the 407-card set.

Everyone knows who #311 is and I don't see ever landing one of those. Goes against my principles (and bank account) to grossly overpay, even an essential card like that.

I only own three of the remaining 97 cards in the set and may not manage to get much closer...so, the 310 will most likely be my 'farthest on' point.
