I am in constant flux. I bounce from set to set and from collection to collection. I am passionate for a while, then I have to step away. So, I collect cards, comics, Olympic autographs, and records. I occasionally pick up an old radio when I am inclined. So, what I tell you I am working on could change in a week. But, as of now, here's where I am:

Baseball: Topps 1973-2017 completed all major sets
1971 & 1966 Topps also complete
1972 Topps 74%
1970 Topps 87%
The rest of the 60's I am hovering in the 40-70% range. I have some big cards, but still need a few.
1959 Topps: 30%
1958 Topps: 96%
1957 Topps: 28%
1956 Topps: 23% (but I do have Mantle)
1955 Topps: 47% (but I have Clemente, Koufax, Killebrew, Williams, Mays)
1955 Bowman: 32% (Have Mantle and Mays)
1954 Topps: 16% (Have Aaron, Williams 250)
1954 Bowman: 85% (Need Mantle, skipping Williams)
1953 Topps: 21% (Have Mantle)
1953 Bowman: 8% (Have Mantle and Musial)
1952 Bowman: 37% (Have Musial and several other HOFers, still need Mantle and Mays)
1952 Topps: Only collecting low numbers, Have only about 20 cards so far.
Working on R313, R314 from 1936 - About 25%

Football: I have complete Topps run from 1968-end minus a handful of 1972 High numbers.
Completed 1954 Bowman, 1956 Topps, 1958 Topps, 1960 Topps. Need 4 cards for 1960 Fleer. Need a few for 57 and 59. The remainder of the 1960's is all over the place, but most of the sets are in good shape with me having big chunks. I could finish any of them at almost any time with some effort.

Got a lot ahead of me. I would like to finish the 1960's for football this year (or come really close) and finish baseball back to 68. But, like I said, stuff happens and I may sork just the opposite.
