I think it took around 2 years to complete. Since I was working on a lower grade set, I was able to put it together a lot faster than I expected. I'm glad I picked up a lot of the set quickly in the first year or so before prices started to spike since this summer.

Right now, the cards are just in top loaders. Long term, I'm not sure how to display them. Does anyone else who has collected this set have any suggestions?

I used to display mine in our library. We've since moved and our new home has a library/den as well, but the kids have taken over that space, so back to the closet safe for now. I'll try and find pictures on my drive. The t3's looked great on shelves next to the classics, fossils and grandpa's pipe collection. There is not a better built or sized card to display on shelves in my opinion.

Wow. It’s such a great looking set. I always thought the Speaker, specifically, was one of the best looking cards out there

Wow, congrats Jay!

I guess I didn't realize that the REA lot was going to finish the set for you!

Thank you so much for letting me get a piece for my fledgling set (now up to 35 of the 100) It worked out magnificently.

Maybe someday when I am old , tired and gray, I can come back on the board to share my own completion (too late, I am already as described )

For now...YOU and YOUR SET is/are DA MAN !

Congrats !
A great set ! Can I ask what you found to be the best checklist in terms of the complete set - different players and backs ??
thanks
Dan

My set is lower grade, but I will try to post some pictures of some of the nicer cards in it when I have a chance.
