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.
191. 1991 Impel U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame #77 Jim McKay
I bought a box in 2014 and saved it until the 2016 Olympics, where I opened a pack a day until I completed the set. |
192. 2016 Panini Prizm #3 Austin Dillon
The first Panini era NASCAR release! I did a box, then was gifted two more boxes. |
193. 1996 Comic Images Olivia in Omnichrome #50 Fetish fashion circa 1984
These are one of several sets I completed as a gift from a fellow blogger, who sent me more than 2000 cards in a single day, my biggest day of 2016! The others feature nudity so I didn't include them on the list. |
194. 2015 Topps 3Di Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith #44 Awaiting freedom's return
This doesn't fit the parameters I included in the caption for the list, at only 44 cards and only issued as a factory set, but it's such a hard card set to get that I included it anyway. |

196. 2016-17 Donruss #25 Chris Paul
Got the entire set from a hobby box I received as a Christmas gift in 2016. |
197. 2016-17 Hoops #271 Domantas Sabonis
Got a hobby box for my birthday in 2016 and completed the set on Christmas 2016. I got my first four cards of Sabonis on the same day, highly unusual. |
198. 1994 Action Packed Champ and Challenger #42 Dale Earnhardt/Jeff Gordon
Received as a Christmas present, but even though it was mailed more than 10 days before Christmas it didn't arrive until December 30th, 2016. |
199. 1991-92 SkyBox #548 Stacey Augmon
Received in trade with Database member cabz05, one of my most frequent trading partners. At 659 cards this is the largest NBA set ever made. The sad thing is that I did a box of Series 2 for Christmas 2013 and got a stack of over 200 duplicates, but was more than 5 cards away from completion, all of which I got in trade from Database members. I completed it on 12/31/16 but didn't realize it for several days as I got the last several cards in trade with other Database members in the week between Christmas and New Year's. |
200. 1992 Collect-A-Card Country Classics #23 Doug Kershaw
My first completed set of 2017, completed 2/1/17, in a surprise gift from a fellow Database member. |
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! |
