Default Finally completed my favorite set all time - e103s

This set put up a fight for a long time before I was finally able to finish it! Seems like the two big runs I made at finishing this set ended with me looking for a single card for a year or two before it was done. First time around, it was Tenney, this time around, it was Matty. Just a tough, tough project, but one that was a lot of fun and worth the chase!

Anyway, here's a few cards from this particular set-run. It's a lowgrade set and I'll need to upgrade a few (or QUITE a few...heh!). But hey, some of the cards are kinda tough so you take 'em any way you can get 'em!

A big thank you to all the forum members who contributed to this one over the past few years. The help through trades, sales, etc... was really appreciated

Congrats, Brian! Hopefully by the end of this year, I'll know what it feels like to finish a set.

Congrats, good buddy! My opinion is that the worst conditioned cards in your set are still very presentable. You might have some PSA AUT and PSA 1 type cards in there, but overall they're pretty, man!

Good work! What's the next project? Just the e98 commons project, or something else added to the plate?

Default brian

it's almost bittersweet to see this done. I've enjoyed watching the progress
for some time now. My E103 Leach for my type collection came from you
a long while back.
But I must say Congratulations for a most significant accomplishment, ole friend.
all the best,
barry

Nice job Brian, congrats !!!

It's interesting, what you say about the search for Tenney- what is it with this guy? He seems to be quite elusive sometimes

Thanks for posting, it's threads like this that give me hope

Sincerely, Clayton
