Of course there are congrats in order for that accomplishment. Congratulations!!! I am not really a set collector b/c of the difficulty of doing it, even when I started in the mid-80's. A complete vintage set is very impressive though. I have many sets of cards now, but most are from the early-90's and the late-2000's AND are mostly small sets. My only goals for vintage sets in any sport are team sets (or player-sets for a decade) and I still haven't completed a single one.

Thanks to everyone for indulging my self-congratulatory post. The discovery of this site and its great members three and half years ago helped me redouble my collecting bug. So thank you all.

Congrats...I particularly like how you sort by team...I also do this with my vintage sets and I get weird looks when I tell people this. Glad I'm not the only one!

Congrats! Completing a set is always a cause for celebration. As a fellow set collector I admire your perseverance. Keep working on the 70 set and don't give up on the 69 set. It took me over 15 years to finish my 1967 set (pre eBay).

Congrats V3! Also seeking to complete vintage sets,I know how hard it is to do so, especially up here in Canada and when it is Topps. My OPC sets are closer to completion but the 1974 one is the oldest I have complete.

Congratulations! One of my favorites, and a tough set to complete. Had an uncut sheet of 71"s as a kid -it was covered with a plastic type coating, and since I was only 6, we cut the damn thing up, very sloppily I might add. Still have a few of the way off center plastic laminated peeling rements left...Myself, down to less than 80 cards left to complete my baby, 1970 Topps. Cheers! Love the site -

CONGRATS for sure . A very HARD but REWARDING set to have complete I have been slowly working towards it myself . I hope to have finished this year , but something tells me it will end up being next year.
-------------------------------
Got my collection kind of split up in 3 places in two seperate states. So I am willing to trade but might take me a bit to find the cards from my Trade / Sell list. So please message me first so that I can take some time to find the cards you would be interested in. Whether it's an hour or 2 months or etc. I would get back to you after locating the card or cards. |
