For a Seattle guy like me the Pilot cards are special too...

nwfsteve...great update, thats a hell of a run. Don't give up on those 66's...just chip away here and there...patience on the big sets!

Thanks! Yes, those are graded cards in binders. I'm trying to get 8 - 12 PSA graded HOF'ers for each set. I'm not doing those graded card holders any more (don't think). They are way too expensive.

1934-36 Diamond Stars - 6 cards away, 36 cards in for grading
1910 Mecca T210's - 6 cards away, 30 for the master set
1952 Berk Ross - I have bought 1 card, but I have good intentions
T206 - 206/520 advancing slowly, glaciers move faster

1948/49 Leaf Baseball - Complete
1954 Red Heart - Complete
1963 Bazooka All Time Greats - Complete
1940 Superman- Complete
1966 Batman (Black Bat) - Complete

The hunt is on, especially with prices going up, and my spending money is not matching the pace.

Completing the Leaf set is quite an accomplishment. I have completed the non-short prints and have a little less than half the short prints, but I doubt I will ever be able to afford a Paige to actually complete the set.

45/48 now on the '48 Bowman. Just three commons left.

Seems strange having a set that fits in your hip pocket

While I was working on it I kept posting on here that I was looking for the corner of a Paige to complete the set. Ironically enough, mired in the back pages of a Sunday Heritage sale, I was able to buy a borderless Paige, technically, everything EXCEPT the corners. My pockets are not deep, and I was able to pick it up for less than $900, but still had to sleep in the garage for a couple of weeks.

Maybe I can find the missing borders some day and buy them so I at least have part of a Paige.

The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a slab containing just the borders graded AUTHENTIC out there somewhere!
