E98: the road to 120
 
I just crossed the halfway mark so I thought of share my collection so far. I KNOW I still have the Big 12 left, so the 2nd half will be considerably harder to acquire than the first, but that's perfectly fine. I'm having a blast chipping away at this beautiful set!
As you can see I've (mostly) avoided the high-end BSF cards. Initially I wanted to get as many as I could, being a Toledo native, but honestly they just don't look right with the rest of the set IMO, they almost look like reprints, and avoiding them frees up a lot of funds for other cards. Anyway here's the first 60! I'll update this thread as I continue my quest.

Thanks! And agreed, it's probably my favorite. The orange Walsh is the card that started me on this journey!

Now that's a collecting quest. I am looking forward to your future 'filling in the white spaces' posts.

You're well on your way towards the end goal. Congratulations on the progress so far and looking forward to future updates!

A very well assimilated grouping so far. Good luck in the hunt! To me, and some others, that is the way caramel cards should look.
