What set are you currently trying to build and will see it threw till the end?
What set are you currently trying to build and will see it threw till the end?
For me it is the 52 Topps set all 407 cards well centered in PSA only (I prefer PSA for all cards from the 50's and up)....so far I have 20 of them including 4 very nice high numbers. Then I will go after the gray backs and other variations of this set. Post # 13 Last edited by Zone91; 05-24-2013 at 11:09 AM. |

T205
I have spent the last 5 1/2 years trying to complete the 1911 T-205 gold border set (221). I am just about finished and 1 card has eluded me.
Good luck with your quest. r/ Frank

C46
I've been working on the C46 Imperial Tobacco set. About 60% complete. Just picked up the Gandil and McGinnity and hope to knock out the last 30 in the next year or two.

I did complete two of the three Imperial Tobacco lacrosse series sets (C60 and C61). Wasn't really planning on completing any sets at this point but if there was another it might possibly the C46 set, although at first I set out to just collect the "Big Three" plus some of the major leaguers that appeared in this set.

I'm almost finished with the E93 set, only need Plank and Cobb plus a few I'd like to upgrade at some point. I'm also about 2/3 done with the W554 set. Since the new year though I've really been focusing on the E92 Nadja set. Both the E93 and W554 shouldn't be too hard to complete. The E92 Nadja's are going to take awhile but I'm actually a little surprised with the progress I've made so far. Most of my sets are included here http://www.net54baseball.com/album.php?u=375

I had started quite a few sets over the past year, lost interest and sold each of them off long before getting even close to finishing them. I swore I had convinced myself I was not a set collector...
The only exception to that had been my T209 B&W set that I'm still plugging away at and strongly motivated to keep at it. Though the prospect of ever completing it are, well quite slim to none, but I think strangely that's what has kept me motivated so far. Recently I have begun a new project of going after a M101-4 and a M101-5 set (minus the Ruth for both) which I'm a little more confident I will see out to their completion.

At the moment I am in the middle of a HOF run in the T205 set, and considering a similar run in the E90-1 set. As its stands I've got some of the toughies out of the way for both, but upcoming expenses are going to get in the way of any real future progress.

My only set that required true endurance was my 1975 Topps on the PSA registry. I love the set (it was the first full set I owned as a kid) and I thought it would be fun to tackle it, well, it proved to be more of a marathon than a sprint. 660 PSA 8's and up became a rather dull feat after a while.
I love the set and I enjoyed piecing it together, but there were times I had some serious doubts about whether I wanted to complete it. I finished it 4 years ago and I haven't attempted another registry set since. If I were, I would try to tackle the monster |

Same goal for me with the 52 Topps, but I am not sure that I will collect the gray backs. I am somewhere around 20 away from completion. Re: Pre-war, I am only 1 card away from completing a T200 set (missing Cleveland). ZWheat |

5 yr chase to complete my AB T205 set. Want a nice Matty AB really really really really bad. Also plan on finishing the Pied 42's and Cycle SP's in the set. If any one has a Cycle grant or Dahlen FS let me know.
