Nice thread!
I have not completed a set since 1980 Topps as a 12 year old kid. I have attempted a few, having reached 65%+ on the 1933 Goudey, 1952 Bowman, and the 1967 Topps set. I have completed Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt and Hank Aaron player sets, but that is another thread .....
Often, I will ponder another set to start, and most importantly, finish. Not sure if I am a complete set guy, but I kinda wanna be one lol! I also think that working on a set, with no set time table, does provide a more personal feel for the hobby and not just buying and selling.
Currently, I am daydreaming about a centered 1953 Bowman Color in mid grade. The photography is extraordinary, imo, and it both small enough at 160 cards and has enough HOF and star players from one of baseballs greatest decade to make it enjoyable for me. If only there was a Jackie and a Williams ....
I registered a set tonight with the Spahn already in my collection. We'll see ....
In any event, this has been a good read and best of luck to all the set guys out there.
