I got a little over halfway several years ago, but those high number commons were budget killers. The Mantle, Mathews, Robinson, Campanella and Reese are bad enough, but trying to find the rest of the high numbers in decent shape without spending a fortune is a tough task.

The one set from my childhood I did not complete in the 1980's. Got about halfway into it when the Mantle skyrocketed in price, and that was it for me. Had I been a single guy back then, would probably have spent the five grand or so to complete the set, but had bills to pay so gave it up in disgust. Al's dedication is way beyond my comprehension - I would have been happy with the basic 411 in nice condition.

Ed--great story. Congrats on a great set and your persistence and patience over a long time. I started collecting Topps baseball in 1957 and have a full Topps set and pack run, 1948 and 1951 to 2012. Never really quit.
