Congrats on the Bazooka set Bob

Impressive collections!!! Spent the last half hour going through the thread. In the past, I thought about collecting complete sets, but would never have the funds to cover as many years as with collecting just one team.

I've been a team set collector for about 10 years, but 5 years seriously with vintage. I've essentially held off on buying ultra modern with the SP/SSPs, waiting for prices to settle and the hype to subside so still missing most over the past 5-7 years. Happy to share my progress/stats thus far:

Topps NY Yankees Team Sets

Decade Total Have Need %
Fifties 170/203 = 83.74%
Sixties 317/369 = 85.91%
Seventies 330/331 = 99.70%
Eighties 426/426 = 100.00%
Nineties 333/334 = 99.70%
Naughts 487/489 = 99.59%
Tens 510/566 = 90.11%
Twenties 41/144 = 28.47%

Saved the best for last! Congrats on 2 67 sets...I've got a decent start on a 2nd set myself but need what you need and more...not sure if I have the energy after doing a 2nd 66 set! Two 67 sets is money in the bank...
