I finished the '64 Philly Gum set.

Now working, ever so slowly, on the '54 Bowman set. I'm at 36 of 128 not counting the Baltimore Colts I have in my Colts run.

That collection isn't a set per se but I do have all the mainstream Baltimore Colts cards from 1949 (exhibits) through 1983 save a couple of the Fleer Super Bowl cards.

Hey Robert!

I just posted this on the BST forum, I have completed 1948 Bowman Football!!!

Working on a 1972 Topps set I started when I was a kid, 35 to go!

closing in on a full set, need a few more high numbers, I have four hi number dupes to swap if anyone wants to swap dupes?

or if you have some high numbers I need that you are selling, let me know. I am not concerned with condition/centering etc, just trying to finish the set I started when I was a kid!

Dupes: #288 Mel Farr; #313 Jim Bernie; #314 tom mcneill; #327 Miller Farr

Want list is below, thanks!

Cliff, two thumbs up on finishing your '48 Bowman set! I would eventually like to tackle the Bowman football sets. And 35 isn't too far from completion on '72! Keep us updated!

'35 Chicle: I've needed one card for a while, and its not even a high number - it might be psychological - my subconscious may not want to finish

'50 Bowman: This was actually the first vintage set that caught my eye and still may be my favorite visually, but I switched over to Chicle because it better aligned with my interest in history (I'd love it if there were 30-40 card pro sets from '25 and '15 too). My new strategy on the '50B since I like graded cards is to pick up the "rejects" - collectors don't seem to like graded low grade cards from sets that aren't super rare, so they sell cheap sometimes. Plus, it's not like I'm in any rush.

'84 Topps - love this set because its my only football set collected from packs except the Seahawks checklist which I somehow lost, so that card is an eBay purchase

Great thread!

[Arsenal83]

'81, '82, '84 done in raw MINT condition.

'85 about 75% done. Please message me if you have any mint ones for cheap.
