Wow, my thread from way back is still alive. I dropped out of the card world for a bit there (classic car collecting kills card budgets...lol), but I AM BACK. Excited to be back as well. I sold all my sets 1967 and older (turned them into a completely restored 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint to add to that collection), and kept my 1968 to 1990 Topps sets. Currently working on 66 and 67 at the same time and just made some purchases to get me going (jumped right back into the deep end of the 60's pool..lol). So happy to be back, I missed it terribly. I can say though taking the break I did has really re-kindled my love of the hobby. Looking forward to joining back into the fray...right in time for spring training.

Thanks all!

Robert - in the spirit of you and I changing our minds on things every few weeks - wanted to let you know I'm reconsidering doing sets again. Bottom line, I think I need to find a way to be happy, to find the value in common cards. Because after this last month or so, if there is one thing I have learned - it's that I can't really afford myself or my hobby if I continue to only go down the road I have been.

Welcome back to the set builder side, John! I have tried to escape but just can't do it. It's just too much fun!

Thanks guys...

Got my first card in the mail today in probably 2 plus years... Replacing my 66 high cards...got this nice little beauty...





Felt good to see an envelope in the PO box!

I didn't realize it took so long but after checking old posts I completed my 55 Bowman set in a little over 3 years. The set includes all error/variations. My goal was to get every card from fellow Net54 members.

I would like to thank everyone I got cards from.

Not sure if I will ever try to put a set together card by card again because of the cost but it was fun.
