How far are you on your quest to slay the monster?

[geor952]

Mintacular's thread got me thinking, how close the monster slayers on the board to completing the adventure. I know this thread has been done before, but I can't remember the last time. I have been working on it since 2003 with my Dad. We started at the Moeller High School Thanksgiving Show in Cincy. I am now 34 and we have about 350 of the 520. Someday it will be complete, but I am in no hurry.

Cool thread. I am at 52 cards right now.

About 10 years in, off and on. Have 511, probably will stop at 518. Collecting on the cheap, no card has cost more than $150, probably averaging about $10 a card. Looking for cheap Cobbs (bat on and off), Coles, Elberfeld (Wash), Ryan, Smith (Chi & Bos), and Young (portrait).

Here's my set

Damn this is fun.

About 4.5 years into it. Very off and on. Have gone large stretches without adding anything. I only collect SGC50 or better and have 231 of 520 (44.4%).

[vintagetoppsguy]

About 2 years into it and have 71/518 (13%) all SGC50.

About 4 years in and I'm at 518 of 524. I'm only short the Kleinow(Boston) and Rockenfeld. Have Demmitt and O'Hara St. Louis. Probably will call it done at 520. I do have an E95 Plank and M116 Wagner in my set though. For some reason, I kind of lost interest in the set and moved into type cards for the last year and a half or so. I've only picked up one (Otey) in that time so most of the set was built in 2 1/2 years.
