I aim for VGEX without creases or better on my set builds. I’d say a good 80% of my vintage set builds are in that range. I need less than 1000 cards to finish 1953-2022 and 265 to finish 1952 including all the high numbers.

Congrats on finishing the 56 and 57 sets. Good luck on some day completing the Topps run.

Nicely done Jay on completing the 56 & 57 sets.

I just completed the 61 Golden Press set.
I need a few more cards to complete the 69 Topps Deckle set.
Just thought a couple of small sets would do the trick after the last few sets.

Not sure when I last posted in this thread but in the past six months or so I finished dealing with the '67 baseball set with a few upgrades of early series cards. I had thought it would be fun to have some of my original '67s as part of the set but with a few heavily creased cards they really stuck out even with my relaxed standards in set completion.

Also completed four football sets. the '65, '66, and '67 Philly Gum sets to go along with the '64 I had. And I started and completed the '59 Topps set. That was an easy one.

At the moment, outside of my slow and not very inspired chase of the '75T mini set, I'm more or less on the sidelines. I've got a stack of '64T baseball on my desk at the moment and I've thought about doing that set for a long time but I'm just not up for another set adventure at the moment.

With the addition of Cloyd Boyer, I'm now two away from a '52 low number set - Pafko and Mays. Not sure exactly how to tackle the Willie with two kids in college at the moment.

On the '64T front, I'm also two cards away. Just needing #482 Phillies RC (Briggs and Cater) and 491 Rakow. Hoping to close this one out shortly.

As with all my vintage sets, looking to keep them in the VG-Ex range and no MC.

Thanks I appreciate that. I will have no problem finishing out 53 and on - there are a couple of 4 figure cards I still need from 53 on but not many - 53 Mantle, 54 Aaron (only 54 I have left), 55 Clemente - that might be it. I guess 53 Paige is close to that number but I have the 53 Jackie and Mays and every Mantle from 56 on.

52 is a different story - I put $25 per check away for the mantle - got around $2500 in there. I told my wife when I retire I'll work an extra 6 months past normal retirement age to buy it. Was hoping to finish out the run by then. That gives me just under 20 years. But I still need every other high number. So we will see but it could be doable.
