I guess I am one of the crazy ones putting it together one card at a time. I am up to 381 (all SGC50 or better) and have done it without buying a single lot. I have been collecting it for 7 years now and my plan was to have it finished in 10 years.....I would say that I am still on pace to accomplish that.

I bet your set will be a beauty when it's finished! You're about to hit the 400's...good luck the rest of the way
