Set-Builder Thread

[Vintagevault13]

The great thing about this hobby is the endless ways that are available to collect what we love. When I first joined the board there seemed to be many more discussions about sets. Lately the talk seems to have shifted to key cards, TPG's, prices, HOF player sets, etc. BTW, I participate in some of these as I am currently working on a couple of graded player sets.

I have realized, however, that I am a set collector at heart. This brings me back to 1974 when I began collecting. Maybe my OCD contributes to this, but I absolutely love building sets. Condition isn't a huge factor for me. I usually shoot for VG or better.

This thread is for others that share a love for building sets. Please share what you have, current projects and/or your goals.

I will get things started. I have completed the 1965 Topps (birth year) and 1974 Topps (1st yr. collecting). I am currently about 50% finished with 1973 Topps. My goal is to build 1970-73 then 1975. I don't have much interest after 1975. With my '65 set, I discovered that the best way for me to collect is by series. This provides me with smaller goals whole allowing me to build sets as kids did at the time cards were released.

Sorry for the rambling. I guess I am just pretty passionate about this. Looking forward to ongoing discussions about your projects.
