How many team set collectors are out there?

[toppcat]

I just don't have the patience to put together full sets anymore and the team sets give you some variety. I did the standard Brooklyn Dodgers Topps and Bowman runs (need a couple o'upgrades but all complete) plus the '56 pins. I also put together the Topps NY Mets run from 1962-66 (my complete sets start in '67) and need a couple upgrades there. I collect the Mets cards from the test sets when I find them but with my attempt to complete the Topps type run through 1980 this is not an active pursuit.

I also have some Mets team sets from Fleer (1963 and the 69 plaque), Salada, etc. and have debated starting the Post/Jello versions. I collect NY Football Giants team sets as well, especially (at the moment) the Bowmans.

I have started piecing together a checklist of Brooklyn Dodgers who appeared on Topps cards appearances from 1958-69 and may start working on that soon. I have some of these but don't have a working list yet.
