My Completed Setsby Billy Kingsley - 266 cards (Last updated on Jun 24, 2022) |
Since I am OCD, I also have kept track of when I completed many of the sets. If I know the exact date, I will include it in the caption. I also had the idea, circa 2004, to record the last card I needed to complete the set, if I wrote it down, that is the card I will use for this album.
101. 2011 Wheels Main Event #21 Travis Kvapil
2012 saw a bit of a renaissaince for me collecting, I completed six sets on the year. This was the first, on 2/9/12. I had gotten a box for Christmas from my mom in 2011, but came up a few cards short. A blaster box from my local Wal-Mart yeilded me the cards I needed. |
102. 1996 Pinnacle Pole Position #57 Dale Earnhardt
I sourced these next few from NUTS as well. this one arrived to me on 8/21/12 |
|
104. 2008 Press Pass Speedway #46 David Ragan
The final card that completed a set that arrived to me on 8/21/12 |
105. 2007 Topps Star Wars 30th Anniversary #84 The Imperial Walker Attack
I recieved this set for Christmas 2012. Although technically the last card in the set was the last one I recieved, I chose this card anyway, because this is my favorite card in the set. (there is another set I completed in 2012...12/31/12 in fact...that is not yet on the Database) |
106. 1989 Maxx #109 Winston 500
1989 Maxx was always a really tough one for me to find. I have been collecting NASCAR cards since 1993, but I didn't get my first until 2005, and I didn't get my second until December of 2009. In February of this year I was able to secure a complete set on Ebay....unfortunatly, even though the listing clearly stated they came from a smoke free home, they reek of cigarettes and I can't store them with my other cards, so none of the others get damaged as well. So, even though I have all the cards, I now have to look for replacements for them. (sigh) |
107. 1994 Maxx Texaco Havoline Racing #46 Wade Thomas
This is a team set, which I say in the header doesn't count, this one is unusual in that they were issued in packs as a standard set. This was the last card I needed, which arrived to me- again from NUTS- on 3/6/13 |
108. 1994 Traks Auto Value #49 To The Front
This set is interesting with the bright blue borders. I hadn't had any of them until December 31st, 2012, when I recieved some in a trade. Then, on March 6th of 2013, a friend from NUTS gives me a complete set so I now have all 51 of them! |
109. 1994 Finish Line #127 Hut Stricklin's Car
My mom has always given me cards for Easter...I can remember her doing this as far back as 1996, but probably before that as well. This year, I taught her how to use the Database and this and the next 4 cards were all sourced off the Datbase's Amazon arrangement :) (She is also typing my duplicates into my trade/sale list giving me the time to scan more cards!) |
110. 1999-00 Hoops #156 Andrew DeClercq
The second of 5 sets completed on 3/31/13. I had purchased a box of these when they were new, but came up short on the set. I had found some in the mid-2000s but couldn't find the final two, but I got them both for Easter 2013. |
Comments
As a straight up baseball guy (who briefly dabbled in football and basketball-don't know where those went), it's fascinating to me what people collect. Nice list. V3

Great list!
| ||
Cool list and achievements.
| ||
Set #1 is my favorite. I have 25 of those cards and hopefully will get the whole set one day. Great era of Monster Truck racing.
Great list.
| ||
The trade with Billy for his last card to complete his 158th set was my first trade on the DB. Nice list Billy.
| ||
I JUST now saw all your comments, thanks folks!
| ||
I had no idea that a Bill & Ted card set existed. Very cool!
| ||
The Marvel Universe cards...I wasn't ever into comics, but most of the boys in my class were collecting these cards, so I did as well. Everybody was trading and working on sets...and chasing those holograms!
| ||
Man, Billy! I get excited about basketball everytime I read a list of yours. I didn't see 90-91 Skybox or Hoops as completed. Are they, but just not logged in? | ||
Dave, most excellent! Kin, still chasing those holograms myself! Commish, I have not completed Skybox yet, but I did complete Hoops, I forgot to list it on here though! | ||
It's surprising to me how very few of MY very few sets are in your list! In NASCAR, I saw 2010 Legends on the list. I pulled that whole set from one hobby box. 2009 Press Pass Racing, I still have an unopened factory set of that as a freebie from D&A Cardworld. 1996 UD Road to the Cup Racing, you just sent me the next to last card I need to complete that set about a month ago, but still missing that last one. Where are the NBA sets that I actually own? I HAD the 92-93 sets of Skybox and UD until someone stole a bunch of my cards. I actually had almost every complete set released for NBA cards that season. I picked specific sets to replace the missing cards from those years and re-completed the full Stadium Club and Ultra sets. I kept/re-completed a few of the insert sets from various brands for that year too. BUT, I mostly traded away cards from anything that year to finish my Club and Ultra sets. I also have the 1994-95 Ultra set and the Series 2 set of 1997-98 Z-Force (loved that brand). Back to the Marvel cards mentioned before, 1990 Impel Marvel Universe is the TOP non-sport set that I would love to complete! The holograms are RARE and I have 2 of them already. But I loved the design so much that I went after the 1991 Impel Marvel Universe set hard when it was released and it still took me 15 years to get the last two base cards I needed to complete that set. I completed the 5-card hologram set LONG before I completed the base set!!! I haven't even mentioned my MLB/NFL complete sets or the other NASCAR sets I've completed. I generally don't go after complete sets, but when I get close enough or really like the set, I'll try to complete it.

That's the neat thing about the hobby, odds are nobody's collection will be exactly the same. If I had lots of money I'd complete a lot more sets, LOL! I'm curious to see what my first completed Hockey set will be. I know I have two factory sets waiting to be opened so I could make it one of them pretty easily, but I don't want to do that just yet... | ||
This is a very cool list Billy. As very much a non-set collector I am always fascinated by the people who go after complete sets and how they go about competing them. That is something I could never do, and that's ok. My collection is on random, always has been always will. | ||
Oh there's a ton of randomness to my collection. It's just really luck when I do complete a set these days! |
