sets that you want finished in the next few years
 

for me 1960 topps psa

and 1956 Elvis Presley-ungraded but with nice centering, nice color, pretty much all nice everything

'55 Johnston Cookies. I have 3 of the 6 panels. Unfortunately, I still need the panel with Aaron and the panel with Mathews. If anyone is selling, let me know!

Just Brooklyn Dodgers team sets on the BB side, NY Giants on the Football. Almost there on the Brooks, just need a handful of 52 highs :D

I think I'll do the Giants teams sets from 1948 through some point around 1975 or maybe all the way up through '86 and the first Super Bowl team.

My focus is more non-sports now and two sets I am working on are Topps World on Wheels (3 to go) and Freedom's War (about half done). After that, I'm not sure as I have been buying full NS sets for the most part of late and then upgrading.

I have no patience for the long, 600 card Topps sets; maybe I'll do a Fleer/Laughlin World Series set-that might be fun, with a few tougher cards to collect from the end of the 70's.

'47-'66 Exhibits.Don't know how close I'll get,but I'm gonna try!!

After 59 years of collecting I've got it down to 5 cards to complete all my sets
from the 1948 Bowman to a complete run of Topps from 1952 to 1963 along with the Post Cereal, Leaf and Fleer from the early 60s.

I need these 5 cards.

hey
 

hey Bradmar, keep your hands off the July CC '57 card LOL. I would like to be done with my '57, 71, 75 BB sets in NM or Better condition but I keep finding myself upgrading

Wouldn't mind a 47-66 exhibit set w/all variations.

I'd like to finish a number of other sets but they are all a matter of luck in finding the cards--which never seem to pop up--so not worth projecting as goals.

short term, I'd like to finish 3 psa sets
60 Topps (87%)
64 Topps Giants (70%)
52 Topps Indians team set (97%)

hoping to have them done this summer...holes filled at least.
long term, I wanna finish my 73 psa set I just started (11%)

I seem to have more sets going than I'm likely to ever finish but it certainly keeps me from getting bored...as of today, here's where I stand:

1979 Topps - Awaiting delivery of last 5 cards (all commons) in Nm/Mt
1973 Topps - 96% Complete. Missing 25 cards in NM
1959 Topps - 98% Complete. Missing 11 cards in ExMT/Nm
1956 Topps - 33% Complete. Missing 228 cards in Ex/ExMT
1954 Topps - 71% Complete. Missing 73 cards in PSA 7 or better
1951 Bowman - 31% Complete. Missing 224 cards in Ex/ExMT
Diamond Stars - 26% Complete. Missing 80 in PSA 5/SGC 70 or better
T205 - 6% Complete. Too many to even worry about in SGC 40

Already completed sets include 1969, 1975, 1976, 1977 & 1978 Topps...

Sets
 

Topps 1967 Stand Ups...need 3...outside chance
Topps 1955 Hocus Focus--need 11...not likely
Topps 1974 Deckle in white back---need 4 ( have it done in gray and undeckled)..decent chance

My first goal was to complete every set back to the year I was born (finished that last year. I also have a 1954, and 1955 set done. Working on the stuff in between now

1956 Topps (16 cards short of set)
1960 Topps (45 cards short)
1961 Topps (just the high numbers remain)


I also want a set from every available year in the 1940's. Hoping to finish

1943 M.P. & Co
1947 Bond Bread
