I feel your pain. 66 has taken me just as long as 67. Both are still unfinished and I started them both the year they were released. They are both painful. But both of those sets represent my childhood and the beginning of my baseball card collecting habit. Many of the the player photo's in those two sets are still ingrained in my memory and I can still see myself sitting on the floor of my house in SF (over 50 years ago!) sorting through those cards inside a "Keds" shoe box :-) I'm still trying to hang on to those memories!
