I had to share this, as I was putting away the last stack of cards on my desk from recent mailings.
My version of the Topps Run is down to 99 cards to complete !
This is a modified run since I am not collecting 1952 Topps high numbers, and the run stops at 1980.
I also am not collecting every variation along the way, one version is good enough for me (except 1962 green tints, I have those)
It's about 16,700 cards or so in my version from 1952-1980.
I never thought I'd get this close, and the best thing to me is that I really don't need that many of the biggest cards. I have all the Mantles , Aarons etc...I do need Ryan and Rose rookies which will probably be the last ones that I get since I am not a big fan of those guys.
1967 is the one that hurts the most, I need 30 high numbers. Aargh , I will go after those before the year is out.
Anyway, it felt good to be down in double digits after all these years!
