Good song lol……I’m hoping to be within 10 by the end of the month……I keep setting my eBay budget higher and higher. I picked up the banks 110 and roberts 530 last night…..still I’ll see what pops up next.

A long journey is finally complete! Most of these only sporadically show up on Ebay...let alone anywhere else. Even picked up a couple from members here. I have finally completed the 1953-55 Dormand Postcard set!!

I've been submitting to SGC as I acquire, and now need to submit two more. Tonight I FINALLY locked down the last card I needed, ironically not even one of the well known rare cards (Howard, Skowron...)...but Irv Noren...finally got Irv Noren!!!





I'm going to have a custom hanging display case made so I can have them on the wall of my office. I just love the photography, classic era shots. This was by far the longest I've ever worked on a set...over 2 years. Didn't think I would ever finish!!

For the purists, I completed the 41 card checklist. I went after the variations with different photo's poses, but I did not go after the different size and location of the autographs. Way too big of a rabbit hole...

You are Otto control (see what I did there?)!!!!!!!!!

Congrats, it couldn't have happened to a better guy!!!

Congrats. Always a great feeling to finish a set.

With the purchase of Bob Schultz (finally) I am now down to 2 cards remaining to finish my 52 Topps set.
2 tough cards remaining in Wilhelm, and especially Mathews, but I haven't given up hope yet.

That’s awesome. I know that one has been a long, yet thrilling ride.

Congrats, Dale. Wilhelm and Mathews are out there but definitely won't be cheap to get (especially getting them to you in Canada). Looking forward to seeing updates when you do get them.

Just got the last 5 needed to fill my 1966 set from a GM auction - Russ Snyder, Billy Williams, Gary Bell, Tony Oliva and Ron Perransoski.

Probably paid a bit too much for Snyder and Williams, but a EX-EXMINT in GM standards Oliva for $10.50 seems like a steal.

[Elberson]

Congrats on the 66 set…..I’m 4 away and hope to join you soon……..wifey said I better take a break before starting 1961 Topps set lol

Thanks, JW.

Since 2016 when I joined this site.
I already had 148 my father gave me, including Mantle, Mays and Robinson, so it was definitely easier than starting from scratch, but a heck of an endeavor nonetheless.

Thanks, Jay.

The current exchange rate is a killer, as are most shipping fees, so it makes it extra tough for sure.
I'm pretty sure I'll have to get real lucky somehow obtaining the last two but my fingers are crossed.

About a month ago I decided to start a set of 1965 Topps baseball. I only had a few commons to get started, but the first pack of cards that I ever opened was 1965 Topps baseball. My son found a deal at a LCS on a bunch of SP’s and hi numbers along with some of the minor stars and grabbed them so that was the clincher to get me rolling. I have since purchased a few groups of cards and some of the stars. So I’m down to needing 135 cards. I should be able to get that number down a bunch next week at the National.

1950 Bowman complete with the purchase of Jackie Robinson at The National
