The last card I needed was #590 Deron Johnson.

Tough card to find centered, however I found one.

Most of my set is un-graded except for the HoF's.

The set is fairly well centered, but again, the cards are difficult in centered condition.

Iconic rookie card in Schmidt with the last cards of Mays and Clemente. The set is loaded with HoF's.

This was the first set I seriously collected as a kid. I loved those cards and while they are long gone, the past 6 years gave me an opportunity to be a kid again.

This set of cards will be with me for the rest of my life. They're my time machine.
Congrats! It's a great set. I'm working on it too (537 / 684). To me, centering can be an issue but it's the black border on the back of the cards that makes higher grades so tough. Well done.
