Set Collectors - Report in your progress!

[morton35]

Have been collecting a number of years and just getting involved as a contributing member of this site. Spent some time reading this thread and seeing what others are collecting and progress made over the years by you all is exciting. Absolutely a space for everyone to find something and that is one of the great things about this hobby (obsession, maybe).
As for me, several different projects that are underway:
First, one card away from completing a PSA 1962 Topps Venezuelan set (just need the Clemente). Started this some 40 years ago as a kid with a dealer knowing I liked the Astros giving me the Norm Larker Venezuelan card and a class on them being the Colt 45s. I was sold on a rarity of the Spanish and have been working on that set for a long time. Submitted my raw to PSA a few years ago, so very close. Not anywhere near Josh Alpert’s level condition-wise, but my favorite set.
Splitting the difference with Venezuelan rarity and Astros, also working on getting a complete run of Astros from those sets. Have 64 of 77 total – missing from 67, 68, and 72
I am also working on a Post/Jell-o run from the early 60s. Started by completing the 1962 baseball and football and now working the rest at different paces. Currently:
1961 Post – need 61 (not differentiating between box and perforated and decided not to go after every known variation
1962 Jell-O – virtually unstarted yet
1962 Post Canadian – need 148
1962 Post CFL – need 6
1963 Post – need 54
1963 Jell-O – virtually unstarted
1963 Post CFL – need 1 (Fieldgate)

Others:
1910 C59 Lacrosse – need 85
1910 C60 Lacrosse – need 59
1912 C61 Lacrosse – need 22
1962 Here Come the Colts booklets – need 4
1962 Salada Football coins – need 38
1971 Coca-Cola Astros – need 1 (Blasingame)
1977 Hostess Twinkies – need 7
And just beginning a 1967 Kabaya-Leaf Baseball set (because why not)
