I did complete two of the three Imperial Tobacco lacrosse series sets (C60 and C61). Wasn't really planning on completing any sets at this point but if there was another it might possibly the C46 set, although at first I set out to just collect the "Big Three" plus some of the major leaguers that appeared in this set.

I'm almost finished with the E93 set, only need Plank and Cobb plus a few I'd like to upgrade at some point. I'm also about 2/3 done with the W554 set. Since the new year though I've really been focusing on the E92 Nadja set. Both the E93 and W554 shouldn't be too hard to complete. The E92 Nadja's are going to take awhile but I'm actually a little surprised with the progress I've made so far. Most of my sets are included here http://www.net54baseball.com/album.php?u=375

I had started quite a few sets over the past year, lost interest and sold each of them off long before getting even close to finishing them. I swore I had convinced myself I was not a set collector...
The only exception to that had been my T209 B&W set that I'm still plugging away at and strongly motivated to keep at it. Though the prospect of ever completing it are, well quite slim to none, but I think strangely that's what has kept me motivated so far. Recently I have begun a new project of going after a M101-4 and a M101-5 set (minus the Ruth for both) which I'm a little more confident I will see out to their completion.

I already finished one 1959 Topps set and I am currently working on #2 of the same set. Do members here build the same set in multiples?

Slowly chipping away at the '38 Goudey set. Although it's only 48 cards I'm hoping for the right ones.

Nice goals everyone, I get a chuckle when I see T-209-2 listed, ouch tough set. The one I keep waiting for someone to list is a master set of N172 )
I am currently working on a full run of Exhibit sets- 1921-1966, 24 sets and 1494 total cards, going on 10 years and down to under 100 cards needed but boy its slow going now. One of them I am working on a master set and I've completed 3 sets and over halfway to a 4th. Working on E93 in SGC 40/50 and down to 2 cards on it. Also a few other misc sets to keep me busy between my exhibit finds. Set collecting works great for me, helps keep me focused and on a budget. |

My CJs. Been on them for 3+ years at this point with only the Cobb and Wagner to go, hence the sig line. Always thought Id finish and keep for a long time until recently. Either way, I cant image staying at 178/180.

1954 is my favorite postwar set. I've assembled and sold it off twice and am doing it a third time now, though much rougher than yours, which looks insanely nice, BTW.

A nice 1961, my birth year, in strong EX or better, raw. I could just save up and buy a set, but what would be the fun in that? I figure picking up a couple of high numbers here and there will give me something to do at shows.

'54 is my favorite post war set also.. And the only set I'm trying to complete. I've got all the HOfers and have been slowing picking up commons in small lots, all raw (EX or better). Think I'm about 150 in now, but tend to get ADD when I see something/anything else I want. I've been at it maybe 3-4 years (15-18 years if you count my first HOFer), but in no hurry to finish.

At the moment I am in the middle of a HOF run in the T205 set, and considering a similar run in the E90-1 set. As its stands I've got some of the toughies out of the way for both, but upcoming expenses are going to get in the way of any real future progress.

My only set that required true endurance was my 1975 Topps on the PSA registry. I love the set (it was the first full set I owned as a kid) and I thought it would be fun to tackle it, well, it proved to be more of a marathon than a sprint. 660 PSA 8's and up became a rather dull feat after a while.
I love the set and I enjoyed piecing it together, but there were times I had some serious doubts about whether I wanted to complete it. I finished it 4 years ago and I haven't attempted another registry set since. If I were, I would try to tackle the monster ![]() |
