What sets exist that have never been completed?
Posted By: Brian McQueen
Thought I’d start a thread about set-difficulty in general as I was curious as to what pre-war sets have never (to public knowledge) been finished. N172s and e107s come to mind for sure, but those issues are more readily known. What other issues exist that have eluded completion up to this point? |

Plenty of 19th century sets, such as Kalamazoo Bats, Four Base Hits (nobody even knows what constitutes it), Yum Yum, G&B, S.F. Hess (regular and California League both) and I am sure there are plenty of others. In fact, every set I mentioned can conceivably have a new find added to the checklist which makes completion even impossible to ascertain. |

What Barry said plus N172 Old Judge (either as a pose set or even just player), the N173 cabinets, or the lovely N175 Gypsy Queens. |

From what i know no one has a complete set of D381's , not even including variations etc... Me and 2 people i know of are less than 10 away or about 10 away, but i dont think we'll ever complete it |

No one has a complete set of Darby Chocolates. Alan Hager's book in 1993 claimed that there were two complete sets known and Dennis Purdy challenged that claim in VCBC. Since that time there have been a few additions to the checklist, making completion of the set even more unlikely. |

Bruce- I think the Newsboys is another of those sets where new cards may still be found. I think it's impressive that you completed N526. No, you would never call it the most colorful set (least colorful perhaps) but it is a very substantial trade card issue and if you have the only complete one that's pretty good by itself. Didn't you mention that there was one card in the set that you were looking for a real long time? |

T.T. Brown was the last and toughest card for me. I have no idea why. Most of the cards were under @250 each. Kelley was the most expensive @ $690. |

Has to be part of a set which no one has ever completed. Especially since the only other known card is a photo copy -- good luck getting that other copy |

Same can be said for the 1921 Herpolsheimer set. All the cards came from one source until they were broken up and listed raw on ebay. |

I think there may be a complete W504 Senators set because at one point I was very close and I suspect someone may have finished it. |

I've heard of a complete T210 set existing. There are also a small group of collectors who are "close" to one, one of which only needs one card. I'd be interested in hearing if a complete T209-2 set exists. There was a board member who owned nearly all of the cards from the set (missing I think 8) but I haven't heard of anyone else being that close or even closer. |

I saw at least 3-4 E222s at the National. Steep prices may have scared off some people. A complete set of these - wow. If Mark M. has one I would not be surprised, though. |

Not aware of a complete E94 master set yet, but I am giving it my best shot. The problem is the further along you get, the more frustrating it becomes- you need one background color of, say, Sam Crawford and every Crawford card that ever rears its scarce head is always the wrong color. |

I doubt anyone has reassembled my complete run of Wheaties boxes from the 30s and early 40s. Many of the boxes were not in great shape as they came from a lady who said she used to use them to support her tomatoe plants. I was amazed at the total lack of interest in this group when I was moving my collection adn ended up selling it off, set by set, since on one wanted the whole thing. |

Not quite Frank, I have a bunch but not all. I don't have that Ornage bordered Plank that is pictured! Too cool! I do have both poses of Wagner though. Also, pop sold a complete Holland Creameries set in 1985 for $175. Man he killed that poor guy! I don't know how he sleeps at night. Anyway, he bought the creameries, a bunch of maple crispettes and a near set of Honey boys out of one of the first SCD's from a guy in Canada. I think Lew Lipset was his only competition on that deal at the time. Dan. |
