That's a great mail day right there! Congrats on finishing your 55's...one of my favorite sets...classic! I'll thumb through mine with a beer in hand in your honor tonight...

Feeling accomplished today.

Took me almost five years, but I filled the final spot in my mid-grade 1952 Bowman set today.

The honor went to Johnny Pesky. Here's a pic of me filling the final hole in the binder. I'll organize some pics of the "good stuff" and post them soon.

Haha. OK, that's fair. I agree that Feller and Campanella qualify as "good stuff". I guess those early 50's sets have so many good players, it's easy to take them for granted.

(Case in point, page 1 in the set binder has HOFers Berra, Minoso, Reese and Robin Roberts all in the first nine cards, and Bobby Thompson also makes an appearance at card #2 with the back of his card describing the "shot heard 'round the world" as it was printed the spring after that game. Great set.)

I'm working on a PSA graded 1960 Leaf set. I just picked up a #96 Kucks and that leave me three from finishing the set. I still need #75 Culp, #85 Stigman and #101 Noren.

I picked up a 74 Topps Baseball set in trade from Gorditadog over the weekend. It will need some work, but I'm happy to have it. The 70 set will hopefully come closer to completion with some possible deals in the very near future. After that, all that will need to be acquired is a 73 Topps set and upgrades for my other sets, particularly 1972.

I had promised myself I'd try to finally get some sets completed here in 2022, rather than always be working on so many sets at the same time that I could never seem to finish any.

Just a couple days ago got the last card I needed to finally complete my '48 Sports Thrills set. Had needed card #12, "Most Dramatic Home Run", featuring Gehrig and Ruth, for quite some time. Finally pulled the trigger on a really nice raw VG-EX+ one Gregg Morris had. Felt really good to cross that last card off my want list.
