counting the baseball cards in multi-subject sets in determining the
percentage complete. And not including as sets any issue with only 1 or
2 listed baseball cards/items in it.)

My collection isn't anything to wow anyone but I'll still play along anyway.
1. I got my first prewar card about 23 years ago.
2. 220 - 225 range
3. Same 220 - 225 (I don't sell much and when I do it's usually to buy something new so the number stays pretty consistent.)
4. My T215 Red Cross Purtell, Jersey City Skeeters card from my JC team collection, my W-Unc cards of Chance, Baker and Tinker (Pics below), and my Mathewson's.
5. I have 80% of the E98 set right now, then I also collect the W516s with the Becker/Prize backs of which 10 different fronts are currently thought to exist with this back and I currently have 7 of the 10 (also pictured below) Other than that I have some other sets that are not 75% complete that are still works in progress.
Cool thread, jump in and post on this one guys. Let's hear from some members that don't post all that often too.
