I cannot take credit for this great idea as I got it from another member who had created a list of his 2019 Goals which were to complete those "near-completion" sets we all have. I had asked Admin if there was a way to make it obvious to other members what sets we all had that were near completion as, I think we all rather get a card in trade that finally completes a set than 5 cards from a set that still has 100 or more cards to reach completion. Not being a computer "geek" (no offense to anyone ), I may have asked for the unattainable. But this creative member found his own way and I am now unashamedly copying it (I asked if he minded first and he retains the patent #).

So I have now completed a list of sets that I am missing 5 cards or less to complete. If I am only missing one card, it is the card that is pictured.  For sets missing 2 or more, the card # are listed in the comments.  I encourage others to do the same especially if actively trading.  It may bring you the cards you really want as priority.  My list that can be found on my profile page https://www.tradingcarddb.com/List.cfm/lid/7069/Sets-Near-Completion?C=0

Bruno, you might be wise to add each card up to five to your list, rather than just one.  The reason being, whenever anyone else looks at your list, the site automatically tells them how many of the cards on your list are in their collection.  Could produce some extra matches if each card is on the list.

Actually David, the list is made of sets where I have 5 or fewer cards missing.  Only one card is pictured to show the set but in the remarks for each set, the numbers missing are listed.  I have the sets listed by fewest missing (1) to the most missing (5).  The intent is to update the list when I get any of the cards. Already using 5 or less, I have 25 sets listed.

I had stumbled on someone else's list (he had it named "2019 Goals" or something like that).  I thought it was a good work around in getting the out as to what sets are closest to completion.

I do the same thing, but since my PC is former Buckeye players and not full team sets, my list is five or fewer needed from a player perspective. I have t made that list public yet, since it’s still a work in progress and I’m not ready to kick trading back up, but it’s good to keep for my own records for the time being 

This is a good idea I may have to steal it. Also I checked and I have a couple of cards you have listed. I’ll add them my someday send to Bruno stack. 

I don't have time right now to check it out but definitely will as I have started to post the question as to how to concentrate on certain sets.
