I see all these threads with people here talking about that last card they need or sets they are starting to work on but I don't see many discussing bragging that they've made progress completing sites (big or small brags).

Today I finished off my 87 Donruss set.  Not a big dollar set but still fun to cross one off my list of sets I'm actively working on (I currently have 77 different sets I'm working to finish, not counting the 2023 Topps Update set which I'm still trying to find boxes to start).

What are some wins for the rest of you here?

Wow, I have found that trying to complete too many sets at once is overwhelming. Told myself I would not add any more sets to the want list until I fished current projects. and then my sister bought me a hobby box of Topps series 1 for 2023 so I guess I am completing that one now, lol. 

I am one card away from completing 1996-1997 Fleer Metal Basketball. Need the Kobe Freshman Foundations, i think this set would be my favorite win so far

A few weeks ago, I was able to complete my 1998 Topps Tek John Olerud set, all 90 base card patterns!

I recently completed 1983 Fleer and Donruss,1984-86 Topps, and 1987 Fleer.  All relatively nice sets...

This past month I was able to finally cross off the 1960s from my Cleveland Indians/Guardians sets.  I needed a few cards from Post, Leaf, and Fleer and I was able to get them all so I can now finally focus on finishing up my 1950s team sets which is narrowed down to a handful of 1952 Topps and a slightly larger number of 1950-1953 Bowman cards.  

I used to do a Users List each year. I believe a few other members did the same. My last was "2019 Goals Completed". I would start in January and would put the last card that completed a set or collection on the list. In 2019 I completed 42 collections.

Unfortunately I have about 7 incomplete set with about 800 cards total.

I started this list almost 2 years ago. https://www.tcdb.com/List.cfm/lid/10745/Sets-Completed-Thanks-to...

The list is from most recent completed set to the first I didd when I started the list. I also mention how I acquired the last card which is the one pictured. 157 sets since Dec 2021, everything from base sets, inserts, and odd ball issues. A great way to track what you completed.

I just finished the 1979 Dallas Cowboys Police set with the purchase of this card:

And this 1999-00 Upper Deck Retro McDonald's Hockey - The Rookies set with help from EAudet77 in a large international trade.

This post made me check.  I've completed 50 sets this year, with #50 being 2023 Topps Update on Monday!  I've got cards en route to complete 2 more (1994 Topps Gold and 1999 Topps Opening Day), and I'm within 5 cards on 23 more.  Other than that, I've got 115 more sets that I'm working on, most of which I don't even have enough cards to enter Wantlists...yet.
