Right now, I'm slowly working on the 1964 Topps Giants and 1967 Topps sets. I always liked the 67s and have all the stars except Mantle and the Seaver rookie. I also need several high numbers, so it's going to take a while.
The Topps Giants are special to me. About 40 years ago, my dad bought me a starter lot of about 20 of them for Christmas. it included the Mantle and a few other stars. After my dad passed away last summer, I decided I would try to finish that set. Well, I'm down to a handful, but two of them are the Koufax and Mays, two short-prints. I'm on a tight budget, but not really condition crazy on the 67s, the Giants are all in at least near mint shape, to match my first batch. Great topic!

Yay a set builders thread! I am a set builder and wouldnt want it any other way. Im currently collecting the following sets
T210 all Series T209-2 E222 just dont have one yet! a few non sport guilty pleasure sets im too embarrassed to mention  There is nothing wrong with type collecting though. To each his own. I like the idea of having a card from all sets. I just prefer my prewar to be Minor League examples.

I don't exclusively build sets, but I have built a lot of them. My first was 1979 Topps baseball, which I collected as a kid. It is definitely more fun to build rather than buy a set. I am regularly on the Net54 board for non set reasons, as my latest passion has become pre war baseball stars and Hall of Famers.
I have the following sets: Topps Baseball: 1965, 1969, 1973-1990 Bowman Football: 1950, 1951, 1952 Bowman Large (need 7), 1952 Bowman Small (need 42) Topps Football: 1957, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1972 (low numbers), 1973-1989 Fleer Football: 1962, 1963 Topps Basketball: 1969-70, 1972-73, 1974-75, 1976-77, 1981-82

Started collecting again around 2012 after selling my childhood collection in the mid 80's to pay for a divorce attorney. Would lke to think it was money well spent but it was not.
So built a short set of T206, got bored, sold it. Besides sets in my signature, completed the '35 Goudey, '64 Topps Giants, '65 Topps, '74 Capital Publishing, and working on R312, '55,'56,58, '59, 60 and '61 Topps on and off (mostly off). Also working on a Clemente set, graded for base cards, ungraded for all the cool stuff. Also have a nice bunch of Wrigh McGill bamboo rods I fish and occasionally build a rod from scratch for friends. Older bamboo stuff seems to go hand in hand with the sets from the 20s, 30's and fifties...
