I have a similar story to TonyO, started collecting serious in 1972, but had some from earlier years.
I didn't realize that I had no full sets from the early seventies, I had thousands of cards, but I guess a few stragglers. I've since finished most of them, and gone back to 1953 with my quest for Topps sets. Complete: 1953 1954 1955 1959 1960 1962 1965 1970 1972 1973 1974 1977 1978 1979 1980 Many of the missing sets above, I need just a handful or less of cards (1957, 1958, 1964,1969, 1971, 1975, 1976) I'm auditing all of my sets now since I recently bought a couple singles that I already had, and discovered holes in my binder for cards that I thought I owned. My record keeping has been a little slack over the years I guess .I think I need just 258 cards to complete the 1953-1980 Topps run, but that number could go up or down depending on my audit. It's a lot of high number commons in the 60's ![]() I want to get 9 cards off my list before the end of the year if possible. Something about needing less than 250 seems important (it's not) I actually collect prewar cards with much greater passion, but I really want to finish the Topps run too!!

I got back into collecting baseball cards in 1975. I was one of the lucky one whose mom didn't throw my cards collected as a kid into the trash.
I've finished these sets. 1948 Bowman All Topps sets from 1952 to 1962 except 1955 which for some reason I've never wanted to start. 1959 Fleer 1963 Fleer 1960 Leaf Complete run of Red Man tobacco from 1952 to 1955 Post Cereal from 1961 to 1963 I'm probably going to sale most in the next year and take my wife on that big vacation trip she's always wanted to take while we are both in good enough health to do it. |

1960 Topps
1961 Topps 1966 Topps 1970 - 2012 Topps Currently working on the 1954 Red Heart (only missing Mantle). Next I'm thinking about 1956 or 1965 Topps baseball sets. After recently finishing the 1961 set, I need a break from peeling off the big $$ for Joe Schmoe's high# cards. |

I completed the 1965 Topps set earlier this year. I had been missing only the Joe Nossek card for two years, and finally got one.
I've also completed the T206 to 522 cards, which is as far as I can go. |

I've completed 1952 Bowman and 1934 Gold Medal Foods (not a huge set, but I like it). Currently about halfway through a 1956 Topps set.
