Awesome set to put together! I love the Alexander in it.

I am trying to just complete the W572 set with all players. Another challenge could be if you tried to collect a sepia set and a white card stock set. Another board member is doing just that so will take both of us a while.
The T207 Cubs with all the backs an variations is also daunting and expensive. Vic Saier and Ward Miller are expensive and there are 4 back types of both cards and the common Recruit backs come in different factory examples. Should be 32 cards when done unless you count the brown ink types which would make it 40 cards total if you can find them.

I've finished the 1965 Topps set. They were my first cards as a kid, so it was fun to put together again. My set was 2nd on the PSA registry the last I checked.
I've gone as far as I can with the T206 set: 522 of 524 cards. I've been working on a back run of Merkle since 2008. I'm missing one card (T215 Red Cross), and also a Street back run (missing the Lenox, Red Hindu, and T215 Red Cross). More on this in a couple weeks... ![]() So I will need to find a new subset in 2016. Maybe something Cubs-related? |

I love set collecting!
I'm currently working on the 1955 Topps set, IMO it's the best postwar set. I'm also working on the E90-1 set, but I'm not aiming to complete it, I don't want to spend ridiculous prices on the Wagner throwing, Duffy, Jackson, Mitchell etc. Here's a couple scans of my progress, I'll get the other one scanned soon: ~Owen

Here is my post of finishing my CJ set a couple years ago:
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=179326 I have since finished a straight 1915 set and sold the 1914 lower grade cards. I kept my 1914 subset of Matty, Pratt, Chance, Callahan, Lord, Cashion, Bresnahan no # and #60 Zeider finishing at 184 and I still don't the itch to go for the final 16 making a master. I am a set collector at heart and always have been. Last edited by rainier2004; 12-07-2015 at 08:25 AM. |

Steven, I love that Mathewson. If I ever get tired of adding to my T206 set
, that is the first card I'll go after.
