So my son and I walk into one of the local card shops to look at a few cards that my son was interested. The owner had just purchased a collection. My son picks out a few from the ones set aside for him, and as we are getting ready to leave one of the guys pulls out a large box of cards that he says he needs to go through for pricing. They are more cards from the recently purchased collection. We ask if we can take a look. My son takes a hand full of cards out of the box. The first card he sees is 1961 Ernie Banks all-star card. Woo hoo I'm now down to needing 1 card to finish my 61 Topps baseball set.
It was the only 1961 Topps baseball cards in the collection purchased!

Default 1966 topps
It's been a 50+ yr. journey, some years being more assertive than others when I started putting together my '66 Topps set. After a little luck and kindness shown on net54 I'm down to now needing just 30 cards, all but one being a high # card.

Still searching and enjoying the process. Currently looking.

This has been a huge year for me as I completed the 1954 Red Heart set (finished with a generous gift from a board member) and my 1964 topps set.

Even better, I completed my dream set: 1953 topps. The last card I needed was Mays and I bought it from a dealer friend at a great discount. Still, $1,100 is the most I have ever paid for a card by far. I had a couple opportunities for side jobs and my wife was encouraging of me getting at as she understands it was probably now or never.

Love this thread and happy hunting

Congrats! Love to see a few of your favorite Red Hearts, and maybe some '53s & 64s and the Mays if you get a chance.

Big time congrats on the Mays and completing 53. I can’t wait to get to that set someday.

Answer: Gene Conley

Question: What was the last card I needed to complete the 56 Topps set - the first 50s set I’ve ever finished? I couldn’t be happier.

Default 1967 Topps
Perfect time to check in with an end-of-year update. Since last time I've made some decent progress including addition of Seaver, Perez, a couple of leader cards, and several high numbers. Down to needing 17 10 total. I'm looking for the following in NM centered (with no tilt) and preferably ungraded. Would consider nice EXMT. PSA or SGC is OK if fairly priced. Can anybody lend a hand with these last few? Hoping to knock this one off early in 2022 so I can go after 54 Bowman and 75 Topps with gusto.

242 NL RBI Ldrs
400 Clemente
501 Zimmerman
540 Cash
544 Indians
558 Belanger RC
563 Adcock
567 Hamilton
569 Carew RC
576 Hernandez/Gigon
580 Colavito
585 Bunker
592 Shellenback/Wills
598 White Sox Rookies
600 B Robinson
604 Red Sox
607 Stanley
.
