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.
