The long national nightmare is over!!! With my fellow Long Islander, Yaz, in the house, I have now finally and officially completed my 1961 Topps set (cue the fireworks display, footage of people dancing in the streets chanting "USA!!!! USA!!!!," and all sorts of bikini babes shaking their moneymakers)...

...what a long, strange cardboard trip it's been!!! I am freakin' psyched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ugh...but now, of course, the process of upgrading the set begins in earnest. Stay tuned. In about 10 years or so, look forward to seeing a post celebrating how I've finally added the last card needed for my ever-so-slightly-improved set.)
