I’m also starting signed Bowman Red Sox sets from the early 1950s. I’ve done some reading about those teams lately that’s given me a soft spot for them, and gotten good deals on some cards with vintage signatures.

I'm up to 260 right now on the Topps. A member here sold me Roy Campanella, which I never thought I'd get with today's prices. I was the underbidder on a couple of auctions in last fall's REA and on eBay a couple months ago that could have gotten me up to 268, but they'll come up again. I posted my progress here: https://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=300164 . For the Bowmans, I've made some progress, but I've decided to mothball the 1950 and 1952 sets for now and focus on 1951. I picked up the Vern Stephens in February, so the only tough card I still need is Steve O'Neill.

52 Topps: 340/407 and 33 red backs/ 1 black back away from low number master set. Buying a few mid grade highs/month. Hoping to buy a Mantle later in the year

54 Topps: 250/250 as of last month, but now in search of a better #250

I just bought the last card for my 1965 set!

I figured I would need something to do over the winter since COVID restrictions meant we weren't going anywhere. Before COVID I didn't have any sets. I now have 1965 and 1970-2020 Topps Baseball, 1970 and 1980-87 Topps Football, 1989 Score Football, and 1988 Fleer Basketball (including stickers).

1965, 1970-1974 were put together the rest were purchased as complete sets. Most sets were from N54 board members.

I may start another set but plan on relaxing until the winter.

N54 was a tremendous help! Thanks, everyone!

After 15 plus years I have completed my 51' Bowman set with picking up the last card I needed the Ford rookie and still one of my all time favorite sets.

Congratulations! Awesome set and thanks for reminding me about the perfectly centered PSA 7 Ford RC I sold about 5 years ago. 🤬

Really like that set, great job. Do you have a wrapper? I always liked to get a wrapper to go with my sets.

The set I’m working on right now, about 60 cards from a signed 1984 Donruss set.

I'm up to 261 with my 1953 Topps project. I picked up Bob Schultz last spring and just never updated my post here.
