And with that, we're done.

I'm sure I could hunt through the set and find more upgrade candidates, and I'm sure I'll occasionally go in and pick up one or two if I find them, but for all intents and purposes, I'm wrapping up my first binder set project.

Cool.

Congrats, Mike.

I think this is my first post in this thread, but I've been following it (and am following your '77 progress) all along. Thanks for sharing all of the details along the way, and for taking all of the time to scan and post all of the cards in the set.

That was fun.

Cheers,

Richard.

Thanks Richard! Glad to hear you've been following along and enjoying the ride. Taking and posting all the pictures certainly adds to the "work" involved, but it's been nice because it forces me to pace myself and allows for a much more "public" or "social" experience instead of me just sitting at a desk with a stack of cards and a checklist.
