Default Completing a set

for those of us who never stopped being set collectors it's nice to actually complete one once in a while. So many can't really be completed, at least not by me. Found this guy on ebay the other day and it "makes me whole" in Metropolitan Studios Cardinals. (If the seller is on N54 and sees this, thanks a million!)


Now what do I do, sell them all?

Tim

Congratulations, Tim. I had to look this set up on the prewarcards site. Interesting checklist. Gabby Street must have been the manager...Rob

Default Tough job, managing

Yep, Gabby was the manager - won the pennant by 13 games, won the World Series, and then won a ticket to the unemployment line two years later.

Tim,

Congratulations and enjoy the sense of accomplishment! I would definitely rate them a HOLD but that's just me as a fellow set collector.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

Scott

Congrats, Tim. I would hold them for as long as they interest me. It would be one thing if the "thrill of the chase" was gone, but we both know there are plenty of chases remaining. Plus, every time you look at them you can recall how much "fun" it was tracking them down.

Default Always fun to complete a set!

Congratulations on completing the set Tim. As far as keep or sell, that totally depends on the enjoyment you get from looking at the set from time to time.
