My own progress is coming along nicely. Just 91 more cards to complete my Topps Run from 1952 through 1980. That excludes the 52 highs that I am not interested in. The bulk of those needed are 67 Topps high numbers. I have all the cards from the 1953-62 years. I also have 1969-1980 done.

I have a few Bowman sets going, but only 1950 is complete.
I have a few prewar sets complete...T205, E95, E96 and E210-1.
I'm working on C46, E90-1, E210-2 , T212-2 and T212-3.
I upgrade occasionally on the prewar, but rarely on the Topps run as I don't mind G/VG or whatever I get to fill the binders.

All this activity has been after I swore off adding more sets. I was going to focus on my pre-war HOF collection which is my favorite portion of this sickness.
I want to acquire all of the HOFers from each of the main prewar sets. Yup, the grandest goal and likely unachievable. Still, I have made nice progress on that too

I sure could use some discipline to keep focused, but it's all good!

Update, I have lowered my number to just 75 cards to finish my version of the Topps run from 1952-1980

I really am disliking high numbers from the decade of the 60's but I "have" to get them I guess.

Regrettably, my overall collection list didn't really get shorter as I added 1953 Bowman color, 1975 Topps Mini and 1947 Tip Top since I wrote earlier in the thread. After I picked up a trio of T3 Turkey Red HOFers, it also made me consider a low grade run on those to go with the handful I already had.

It will never end.
