I am still working on my NMt-y 65T set, but I am getting farther away from finishing. I thought I was down to 40 cards, but then I made the mistake of looking through what I had, and I found about 60 cards that need to be upgraded. So now I have 100 to go. Here is my Mantle, and my latest pickups.

Great Looking cards Al

I recently picked up the last 1969 Topps Super I needed to complete my set - Yaz.

Fini!

Congrats again, Zach.
Great accomplishment!

Last Sunday evening I made several eBay purchases myself which allowed me to complete the '65 set I'd been working on. Now I'm waiting like a little kid on Christmas Eve for the mail every day. This has to be, IMHO, the nicest looking set of the 1960s. 1967 is great, as is 1961, and I know a lot of people love 1962, but these are beautiful.

Congrats on the 52's and 65's guys. I like the look of the 65 set also. I am 23 cards away from a 55 Topps set, including the print variations. I still need the big rookies and a few of the other stars. I am also about a third of the way into a 54 Topps Scoop set and I already have the Ruth. Good luck hunting for the rest of your sets everyone.

Yes, 65T is a great-looking set. As a kid I remember I really liked the pennants with the team names.

Nothing particularly to write home about, as I still have a ways to go on all - but I'm trying to motivate myself, LOL. I do tend to get the "big cards" out of each set first also as motivation, so that's true in large part here and helps out tremendously at least in terms of thinking of future expense.

1956 Topps: 70/342, 20% complete.

1963 Topps: 135/576, 23% complete.

1972 Topps: 367/787, 46% complete.

I'm with you - get the big ones done and the rest don't look that bad. Just started looking at 1964, and Mantle and Rose are out of the way. When I get to '63, this method will be sorely tested because of that darn Rose...

I finally held my nose and made the Rose happen a few weeks ago. Not the best timing since he's been in the news lately, but I needed it at some point sooner or later for the set. Now the biggest thing I have remaining for '63 Topps is the Stargell RC, and a boatload of commons. That should be very doable over time...

I’m getting close on 2 sets

1964 topps only needing 8

1968 topps only needing 7

I love the chase more than anything else!!!
