Yup. This thing was massive. I think I have one card in my collection. I'm sure someone out there managed to complete it, but I don't think I could have the patience.
Throw in the fact that as Corky mentioned, there is still parallels for a 12,000 card set, and I would be livid at Topps for something this crazy/stupid/utterly fascinating.
In case you couldn't tell, I don't like this set. Same with 2008 Upper Deck Documentary.
I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.
