Anyone ever attempt a complete Topps vintage run?

I have a 1951 to current Topps run of the Chicago Cubs. Takes up 3 binders and will be starting my 4th binder. Wonder what will happen since Topps has lost the MLB contract for cards in 2024?

Topps will continue. Fanatics bought Topps for $500 Million.

I had all the Topps and Bowman Sets but sold most of them years ago. Still have a few favorites ( 57-62 Topps ) + Detroit Tigers Team Sets of all the years of Topps and Bowman.

Probably not too much different since the company that won the MLB contract for cards (Fanatics) ended up buying and now owning Topps.

Yea I have all the Topps baseball except 52 high which I don’t want. I do have a few…

And I have nearly all the Bowman I want… just a few more 1953 colors to go.
I don’t like 1954 or 1955 Bowman so I’ve never started them.

I’ve also been working on the Football runs in Topps , Philadelphia and Bowman. That’s a fun pursuit too.

These two sports take a lot of 3 in binders. I combine the smaller football sets as my card closet is pretty full

But I still fashion myself as a prewar collector primarily.

I have every Bowman and Topps set except '52 high numbers.

I hit up just about every card store in the country back when there were card stores all over the country.

Lots a fun to put it together, but as I mention in the article, the internet has made the "thrill of the chase" less thrilling.

Pretty sure Bob has them all Psa graded in his registry with the complete 52'T Master set. I'm sure he'll pop in at some time, lol.

Very very awesome guys!

I always wanted to do a complete run but never got the balls to do it because I always thought what happens when I finish? Do I just stare at them in their albums! To me it would seem like a big money suck and a big time suck to just stare at them in their albums once I completed the sets.

However, I think it’s very cool that you guys have done. Super awesome!

Keep the posts coming guys! You guys are motivating me to grow a pair and attempt this topps run!

Thank you Chuck, I sold them all 8 years ago, and was quite happy with the outcome.
