Bigger lifetime project: '52 through '85 Topps and '51 Bowman sets

[cardsagain74]

Flashback here! I got a good laugh out of my estimated cost for this run at the time (right before the pandemic boom).

Updating what's happened for the goal in my original post since. And now including some (unexpected since that time) Bowman work and a couple other notable additions. The '60s are still almost vacant

Complete sets only listed here, since the only significant set in the works right now is a '50 Bowman. Though anything unlisted from '80 to '85 has all keys and just needs filled in some (so those are close).

Grades are now approximate weighted averages that assume my best holdings in them.
