Nice! I am closing in on finishing 1965. Only 24 cards to go, but Clemente, Aaron, Mays, and (oddly enough) Uecker seem to elude me at every turn. I started the set 3 years ago and I expect it will take at least another year to finish.

As it is, I went to a show today and managed to knock off 4 out of the 7 cards I need to finish my 1960 set. And, thank God for small favors, only 1 of the 3 remaining cards is a Mantle.

I knew Uecker was popular as a broadcaster, but I couldn't believe the prices for his card. It's one of the SPs, but I ended up paying HOF prices for it. If you're a stickler for centering the #22 Charlie Smith is a real challenge too.

With the purchase of the Warren Spahn, I completed my VGish 1952 Bowman set this morning!

It has been a while but I am 54 cards closer to finishing my 1972 Topps Baseball set as of today.

Spent the day Sunday at Chantilly, the biggest show I usually attend any given year. Picked up a couple of '52s, a dozen '54 Bowman, a handful of '64s including Gibson (which was a tough 6th series card), four '59 Fleer Ted Williams and a small stack of 1980 Topps.

Current standing at:

'52 Topps Low numbers: 299/310
'54 Bowman: 194/225
'59 Fleer Ted Williams: 58/80
'64 Topps: 577/585
'80 Topps: 694/728

I can taste the finish line on these, except for the '52 Mays. After knocking these out though, I'm going to pause the set building and concentrate on slimming down the collection.
