Just a couple days ago got the last card I needed to finally complete my '48 Sports Thrills set. Had needed card #12, "Most Dramatic Home Run", featuring Gehrig and Ruth, for quite some time. Finally pulled the trigger on a really nice raw VG-EX+ one Gregg Morris had. Felt really good to cross that last card off my want list.

Congrats! Let's see it.

I've finished the '67 Topps set with the last few cards from the high numbers arriving in November/December. My procrastination on this one cost me dearly. I remember passing on Seaver rookies going for under $200 thinking I'd find better deals down the road. LOL Same for the Carew at <$100. But it's in the rear view now.

On the other side of the tracks, I put together three Philadelphia Gum football sets ('65, '66 and '67) without much fuss or bother. All since last spring. I had the '64 set done long ago so I've scratched off one hobby goal, the four Philly sets are now in one big binder along with wrapper examples from each..
