Finished a set today...1970 Topps. My birth year so a special year for me. My goal is to re-do the 60's sets and had no plan on doing a 1970. Got a great deal here on net54 about a year ago on a nice 70 lot, then got lucky at a local find with some really tight cards. Since then, just chipping away with no real focus and before I knew it was like 20 away. It was also a great way to upgrade my original set, it's now exmt+. Super cool to have 2 sets, and I'd call the new set VG/EX+ to EX with some EXMT. A few need upgrading from the inital lot, and that's the fun to fine tune...

Last card...#640 Al Kaline. A little OC, but sharp. First time I completed the set it was Johnny Bench, I got him early this time...

Nice set John. Good looking Kaline, I have a few of those setting on my desk. Kaline was one of my favorite players when I a youngster.

Picked up 10 more cards for my 55 topps set, including a pretty nice 2nd year Killebrew at the Chantilly show over the weekend. That brings me to 194/206 or 94.1%. Just got a few of the big cards left so hoping to wrap it up in the next few months.

I'm down to the last card i need for my 1974 set. The #263 checklist in NMMT shape. Anyone have one?

I looked, buy my spare one is a bit too OC. Good luck with your search!

I lost my patience with ebay and people's pathetic interpretation of what NMMT means. I just picked up a PSA 9(PD) #263 and will be cracked out and used to complete my NMMT 1974 set.

I have the last card for my 1972 Topps set on its way today.

Bobby Murcer IA is the last card and I purchased this specimen today.

It seems like every time that I tell myself I am only going to collect singles I end up trying to build the set. I'm currently at 137/252 with '50 Bowman. I can't make myself stop buying them. It probably only averages VG overall, with some better/worse, but they are attractive cards nonetheless. This coming on the heels of completing '52 Bowman.
