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.
141. 2010 Press Pass Eclipse #73 Tony Stewart Vegas
I completed this set the hard way, from retail and trades. I got the last four I needed in one big trade on 12/8/14. |
142. 2012 Press Pass #100 Carl Edwards Completes 48 Races
Three sets in one day! Always fun to do that. They all arrived as part of one big trade on 12/8/14. I actually got both of the last two cards I needed for this set at the same time. |
143. 1992 Pro Set #107 Car 2 Miller Genuine Draft
Completed 12/12/14...the package also included my most wanted card, 1989 Winners Circle Wendell Scott. |
144. 1991-92 Upper Deck #436 Kevin Lynch
Completed this one on 12/18/14, as a gift from my friend. This becomes the first set I've completed as a direct result of a post on my Cardboard History blog! |
145. 1994 Press Pass VIP #96 Larry McReynolds
My first completed set of 2015, thanks to the generosity of another Database member! Completed 2/21/15. He also sent along one of my Top 10 most wanted NASCAR cards, which I don't think he even knew it was on my Top 10 list! |
146. 1991 Star Pics #72 Checklist
My second completed set of 2015, coming just a day after the first, thanks to a Random Act of Kindness from a fellow Database member! Again! This is also only my second completed NCAA basketball set, and the first time I've completed one since 2003. |
147. 2015 Press Pass Cup Chase - Retail #40 Dakoda Armstrong
My 3rd completion of 2015, all of them coming in the past week! I completed this set entirely from blasters and a couple of individual packs. Completed 2/25/15. |
148. 2002 Topps Star Wars: Attack of the Clones #1 Title Card
My fourth completed set of 2015, thanks to a gift from a fellow Database member...surprisingly only my second completed Star Wars set! Attack of the Clones was my favorite of the prequals, and I've seen it into the triple digits...not sure exactly how many times. |
149. 1984 Topps Supergirl #1 Supergirl - Topps Story Cards
My 5th completion of 2015, I got the entire set for free from Dave & Adam's Cardworld. |
150. 2009 Press Pass #60 Mark Martin's Car
I recieved the final card I needed to complete the set as a RAOK on 4/11/15 to make it my 6th completed set of the year. |
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! |
