Collecting and completing sets

[Sean]

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:

Here is my post of finishing my CJ set a couple years ago:

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.

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.

I been working on a high grade PSA 8 average 1954 set for fun...and keep adding cards but always willing to sell all for one or two waterfront property cards..

I got about 60 more to go plus some upgrades..to be 'finished'

Im a set collector by nature. My first sets collected as a kid was 1975 and 1968 topps which are still two of my favorites. I only finished the 68 set in the last few years. As an adult I focused on T205 and I'm 3-4 cards short of a master set, with no intentions of finishing. I'm pretty much done collecting/buying unless something smacks me in the face at an amazing price but it was great to relive the emotions I had as a kid of finding the perfect card to fill a set

I am most certainly a set collector.

I started off collecting the sets I knew as a child (1969-1977)

then expanded to sets since I was born (1962- 1968)
I then finished the 1960's and started on the 1950's

I then decided to get a set from every year 1940 - today.

Right now I have every Topps set (save for the 1952 high numbers) and I am working on a 1952 Bowman set to fill that hole.

The 1940's are on my radar now.

here's how my collection looks now.

I am working on the 1954 Red Heart Dog Food set in PSA 8 or better. I have a thread on the CU forum with pictures of the cards that I have now, see link below. As of now I need 7 cards to complete the set and need to upgrade the Musial. I am trying to be pretty picky about centering. I'm trying to keep all cards 60/40 or better.

I am a set collector as well.
Finished the 1935 National Chicle football set in SGC holders
25 cards away from T205 gold borders
5 away from E98
Started and fizzled on the 1933 Goudey.
Need to stay focused and finish the E98 and T205, but I get distracted
