1953 - 1980 Topps run put to bed

[familytoad]

Rob, I 'd like to congratulate you here too, after saying so on the OBC thread.
That's a great run!

I'm down to 27 which includes the 1952 low series but I haven't gotten one in months...maybe I don't want it to end
Of course, to me...it's a side project to go after the Topps run since the T's and the E's really do it for me

I might be able to help with 52 lows, but there are some Real Tipton mints 10 or Tipton gem mint 11's in there so you'd probably want to upgrade before you pull them out of the envelope LOL.

Once again, congrats on a very cool accomplishment!

Thanks Brian,

I appreciate the kind words. 52 is looming for me. What do you have left?

Hey Rob, if you mean what do I have left for my run, it's not a lot of big name stars , maybe 5 or 6 depending on your definition of that. But a few dumb 61, 66, 67 high numbers and even a couple 68's that have eluded me. Honestly, I haven't tried too hard to finish this year like I thought I would once I got down to the finish line. They'll show up sometime and I'll get there.

Congrats again...try a nice prewar set on for size , you'll hate it LOL

That's a big accomplishment. I know it motivated me for many years until I finally completed my run back to 1948.

My goal was to get a complete set from every year. I finished that earlier this year. I've got Topps sets from 1951 to today and Bowman sets for 1948-1950. My 1952 Topps set is just low numbers so I got the 1952 Bowman set as well.

My problem now is I'm feeling a bit bored. Post War sets aren't exciting me the way they should. I'm working on completing an oddball set for each year from 1940-1947, but that's a slow journey. Right now I'm just looking for 60's and 70's oddball sets to keep me occupied.
