I have completed Topps and Topps Traded/Update from 2016 down to 1966. I am currently working on 1965. My oldest sets are presentable low to mid grade. I will methodically work my way down until I get to 1952. All of this is in addition to my Cardinals team set collection.

just a thought.

I'm working on 1960 Leaf and have completed 1963 Fleer. Might also gives Hires a go in the future.

My goal was always to have a complete set from every year. When I finished my run back to 1948 I decided to get REAL creative and work on sets from.the war years of 1942-1947.

Working or completed

1942 salutation exhibits ( seven to go)
1943 MP &co. (Complete)
1944 Yankees stamps (complete)
1945 Carameli Deportivo ( five to go)
1946 Remar Bread (just started)
1947 Bond Bread (just started )

Obviously I had to take some liberties to even find a set from each year.
