Pending the safe delivery of #562 Russ Synder via the USPS, I have finished the 1966 Topps set in mostly VGEX. I personally found getting the high cards harder than the 67's and 62's.

Need to upgrade a couple 1969 Supers.
20/33 1954 Red Hearts
11/12 1964 Bazooka Panels- need Kaline panel
11/12 1965 Bazooka Panels- need Koufax panel

Any help.... Have cards to trade or buy.

Slowly working a few baseball sets:

T206 Southern League (Virginia League) - 8/12, 67%
1957 - 335/407, 82%
1964 Giants Auto'd - 50/60, 83%
1965 - 538/598, 90%
1972 (2nd set) - 762/787, 97%

Hoping to knock out the '57, '65, and '72 sets in 2019.

I needed only six cards to finish my 54 set and for Christmas my secret Santa got me two of the four commons I needed. Then my brother surprised me with a gift of two more commons that just happened to be the other two that I needed after my secret Santa sent me his two. So now I'm just down to the Aaron and Banks rookies. I'm sure I can get a Banks in my price range but the Aaron is out of my range so it'll be a while until I actually complete the set, but I'll be happy at 249 until then.

Completed the Basic PSA player registry set of Allie Reynolds.

Down to 1 card in 1953 Topps - #244 Willie Mays.

Also down to 1 card in 1949 Bowman - #224 Satchel Paige.

After these two, will be looking for a new project. Need about 100 for 1963 topps. Maybe that's next.

Congratulations on some good progress! You building in graded or ungraded? My sets are always a mix.

[JollyElm]

Hallelujah!!!!!! My 1957 Topps set is finally complete after acquiring PSA 7's Bobby Richardson and Don Zimmer at nice discounts via the recent 15% off ebay coupons. This took a lifetime to accomplish, so I am feeling lucky and a bit psyched!!!

[baseballfan]

Robert the sets are raw but I have a couple graded in both, same with my 57, that I finished finally in 2017. these 3 sets are in decent shape so I think that's why its taking me so long to finish them.

jolly that 57 Richardson was a tough card wasn't it. it was 1 of the last cards I needed also for the set and I think I got it in SGC 7 grade.
congrats

[avalanche2006]

I am now 11 cards from completing my nrmt and centered 1960 topps set. Some of these cards have been really hard to find centered. The only commons I need are the rarely seen centered with sharp corners cards, Simmons, Richardson, Davis, Luis Swipes Base.

[jiw98]

So a new project is started. I've decided to do a 1968 Topps football set. I had a few laying around from my younger days, so why not. 1968 was my first year of sports card purchases. I'm a third of the way there, so the hunt is on. This set should not take as long as my last project. (55 Bowman baseball)

[CoachBarry]

working on 62 Topps

Basic - 545 / 598
Master - 569 / 698

I have many duplicates if anyone is also trying to build. Non graded.

Only need 3 more on 63 Fleer
- Davis
- Clemente
- Adcock

Just started 1937 Goudey Knot Hole League....have 3 / 24 so far.

[1963Topps Set]

1951 Bowman - just need Mantle (so set will never get done)
1952 Bowman - just need Mantle (possible)
1952 Topps - just need 7 more (forget it, kid!)

[redalpha7]

For 1962 Topps what is the difference between the basic set and master set ?

Thanks

[1963Topps Set]

The basic set is just one copy of each card, the master set has all of the known errors and variations.

[CoachBarry]

@redalpha7

The 62 set has alot going on. give this article a read.

Worked with Dacubsfan (Ed) again on #s 40-80. He sent some beauties and I am grateful to have them. That Killebrew is sharp. I should figure out the percentage of cards I still need. I think I'm running at 50/60% of the low and mid numbered cards. I have not started on Hi #s. But I have Mantle #300, and Mantle #475....although I have been trying to use those as trade bait this week.

And my LCS is having a black Friday sale on singles, and he has the Ron Santo RC and Billy Williams RC sitting on his shelf. If he has nothing better to draw my attention with, I'm thinking of picking both of those up at a sale price.

[1963Topps Set]

I have a spare 1963 Fleer Clemente.

Working on a mid-grade 1960s set, need a lot of midrange stars and high numbers. Must be a lot of folks working this set because my wants are more expensive than I thought they would be.

On a side note, I find it a lot less stressful doing a set in this grade because not annoyed by having a tiny blemish eliminate the card from the set.

Wait till you graduate to collecting beaters. All the stress is gone and the people are WAY more fun to interact with because of the super low value of the cards.

I know this is an old post, but I love this sentiment and wish I could get there. If I could, it might revive my ability/willingness to be a set builder again.
