I am at 99% on '63 Topps baseball, 89% on '72 Topps baseball, 70% on '77 Topps baseball, and 65% on '80 Topps baseball. All PSA high grade slabs.

Also, I am 95% on '89 Score Fb in all PSA 10.

I like challenges.

My HUUUGE white whale arrived today. 1971 Kellogg's Roberto Clemente.
Not only a great card on its own, but it not only completed my 1971 Kelloggs set, it completes my full Kelloggs complete set run from 1970-1983. Fifteen complete sets crack free.

That is impressive! Some of the 89 Score football are difficult to find in a 10. You’re going to have some great sets when they are completed.

I’ve completed my 1965 Topps baseball set. The last cards should arrive soon. My first pack of baseball cards to ever open was from 1965, now I have a complete set.

I recently finished the 1969 Topps set, with the last card being Al Downing (#292). I now have finished 1955, 1956, 1960, 1965, and the complete run from 1968 through 1979.

Next up is 1958, of which I am about 80% complete. I am also working on 1973 Topps football (90% complete) and 1972-73 Basketball (80%).

Have been collecting a number of years and just getting involved as a contributing member of this site. Spent some time reading this thread and seeing what others are collecting and progress made over the years by you all is exciting. Absolutely a space for everyone to find something and that is one of the great things about this hobby (obsession, maybe).
As for me, several different projects that are underway:
First, one card away from completing a PSA 1962 Topps Venezuelan set (just need the Clemente). Started this some 40 years ago as a kid with a dealer knowing I liked the Astros giving me the Norm Larker Venezuelan card and a class on them being the Colt 45s. I was sold on a rarity of the Spanish and have been working on that set for a long time. Submitted my raw to PSA a few years ago, so very close. Not anywhere near Josh Alpert’s level condition-wise, but my favorite set.
Splitting the difference with Venezuelan rarity and Astros, also working on getting a complete run of Astros from those sets. Have 64 of 77 total – missing from 67, 68, and 72
I am also working on a Post/Jell-o run from the early 60s. Started by completing the 1962 baseball and football and now working the rest at different paces. Currently:
1961 Post – need 61 (not differentiating between box and perforated and decided not to go after every known variation
1962 Jell-O – virtually unstarted yet
1962 Post Canadian – need 148
1962 Post CFL – need 6
1963 Post – need 54
1963 Jell-O – virtually unstarted
1963 Post CFL – need 1 (Fieldgate)

Others:
1910 C59 Lacrosse – need 85
1910 C60 Lacrosse – need 59
1912 C61 Lacrosse – need 22
1962 Here Come the Colts booklets – need 4
1962 Salada Football coins – need 38
1971 Coca-Cola Astros – need 1 (Blasingame)
1977 Hostess Twinkies – need 7
And just beginning a 1967 Kabaya-Leaf Baseball set (because why not)

I purchased the last card, #662 Lucchesi, to complete my 1970 Topps Baseball set. I still need to complete the insert sets and there are around 17 cards that I want to upgrade. My sign-off will give anyone reading this an idea what I still need, but I want to focus on piecing a 1969 Topps Baseball set together in lower condition.
