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.
261. 1997 Press Pass VIP #4 Ward Burton
One of an amazing 8 sets I completed in trade with Racing Chief on April 9th, 2022! Even though it's a small set I always liked this one, and I needed 5 cards to complete it. |
262. 1996 Upper Deck #73 Jeff Gordon
One of an amazing 8 sets I completed in trade with Racing Chief on April 9th, 2022! I only needed two cards to complete this one, and both were Jeff Gordon. |
263. 1995 Finish Line #24 Jeff Gordon
One of an amazing 7 sets I completed in trade with Racing Chief on April 9th, 2022! Second of three sets in a row where Jeff was the last card I needed, this one it was the only card from the 150 card set I didn't yet have. |
264. 1994 Press Pass #7 Jeff Gordon
One of an amazing 8 sets I completed in trade with Racing Chief on April 9th, 2022! The first tradition Press Pass set, I needed 7 of the 150 cards. I've been working on this set for 22 years! |
265. 1996 Maxx Made in America #39 Bobby Hamilton's Car
Received in trade with Bolo Mk IX in June 2022 |
266. 1992 Classic Draft Picks #88 Billy Law
A rare college set completion, I believe only the 5th I've ever completed. As it turns out I had the cards for years, but didn't remember that I had them. I found a huge stash of college cards on June 23rd, 2022, and not only were the final 29 cards I needed to complete the set in there, the entire 20 card Bonus Card insert was as well...I previously only knew I had one of those. |

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! |
