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.
71. 1995 Action Packed Hall of Fame #2 Dick McGuire
When I first discovered NBA cards these were still available at my local Kmart. I bought a few then, but I don't know when I completed it, as I only documented and counted my cards in 2011. |
72. 1995 Maxx Medallion #42 #16 Ford
This set didn't get it's date of completion recorded, but I did record the final card I needed, but...it's not this one. When I was creating this gallery I missed the note that card #59- Mike Wallace's car- was the last one I needed, but I couldn't figure out how to remove this one and put the right one on. Oops! |
73. 1997 Wheels Jurassic Park #15 Bobby Hamilton
I didn't keep track of the date I completed this one, but I did keep track of the card number. I would have completed it sometime in 2004-2006, when I finally finished my NASCAR card listing in January 2007 it was done. |
74. 1989-90 TG Racing Masters of Racing #262 Red, White, Blue
This set - one of the best ever - was sold as multiple series, which I got all at the same time. |
75. 2005 Press Pass #95 Jeff Gordon
I completed this set in 2005 but I don't always stay up on my card listing- so the exact month and day is lost. This was the last card I needed though. |
76. 2005 Press Pass Legends #27 Davey Allison
I completed this set in 2005 but I don't always stay up on my card listing- so the exact month and day is lost. This was the last card I needed though. Yep, two in a row. |
77. 2005-06 Topps #54 Ricky Davis
This is the last card I needed from the set; I didn't write the exact day but I do know it was November 2005. |
78. 1996-97 Topps #111 Checklist: 1-110
This card was a tough one to track down. I bought a factory set in 1997, but the Checklist was not included. It was significantly short printed. I eventually traded a couple of autographs for it, and it arrived in the mail on 12/14/05...finally! This had been my #1 most wanted card from 1997-05....thus making me possibly the only person to have a checklist as their #1 most wanted. |
79. 1991 Galfield Press Pioneers of Racing #88 Tim Flock
I got this factory set while on Cape Cod, but I didn't keep track of the date. This may be the best card image ever- the monkey had his own driver's suit and helmet and was a passenger in 8 races (3 of which Tim Flock won) |
80. 2006 Traks #68 Mark Martin
A revival of an old name, Traks had dissapeared after 1996, Press Pass brought it back in 2006 and 2007. This was the last card I needed and I completed the set on 6/8/06 |
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! |
