I've neglected my 1956 set build for awhile as my focus shifted to completing the early 70's sets. But recently I came across a lot of some well-loved '56 commons that looked like they would fit right in with my set. So I swung a deal and had 77 of those cards on my doorstep in no time. I didn't really bother to ask or check all of the card numbers, and it was known there were duplicates in this lot. Still, I figured with my set completion under 50% there had to be a few cards I'd need...right?Luckily I found over 30 cards I needed and now my set is over 50% complete! This is a great way to start the new year.
I was hoping to add a few more cards with this stack, but I took that chance. As the completion rate goes up I'll be more diligent when picking up these cards.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on crossing the 50% mark! Those duplicates will definitely help you fill those common needs.
ReplyDelete50% is a big deal for a set that old! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteGreat set. I was fortunate enough to get most of my '56s in decent shape but there are a couple raggedy ones I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on passing 50% completion!
ReplyDeleteYou should check and see if Bo has any available.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching 50%!!
ReplyDelete50% on a ‘50’d set is a nice accomplishment! Hope you make some progress on it this year.
