Set Chase Check In

The first quarter of the year is nearly done so I thought I'd do a quick check on my set completion projects.  This allows me to assess my progress and maybe refine my acquisition strategy.


1972 Topps Baseball

23 cards left - with 6 on the way - but I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch, so cards not in possession don't count against the budget. I have $276 left in my budget and with most of the high buck cards in possession, I'm starting to feel more confident I'll complete the set within my budget.
Most wanted: #441 Thurman Munson


1970 Topps Baseball

I still need 55 cards to complete this set.  Slow progress but 1972 is the priority.
Most wanted: #462 Hank Aaron AS


1969 Topps Baseball

My fabulous brother found a shop near him with vintage and spent some time there, finding about 100 cards for my set build.  That was a major boost and now there are only 20 cards left.
Most wanted:  #424 Pete Rose AS


1960 Topps Baseball

Here is a set that has been largely ignored for too long.  75% complete and still need 148 cards.
Most wanted:  #563 Mantle AS


1956 Topps Baseball

Only 103 cards left to complete this set.  I will step up the chase once I conquer one of the other sets.
Most wanted: #95 Braves Team or #260 Pee Wee Reese


2024 Topps Chrome Football

I love of the look of 2024 Chrome.  So I'm going to complete all sports.  However, I'll probably just buy the other sets.  Since I already sunk so much into FB I'm buying cards one-by-one and I still need 170 cards.  Ouch.  I should have just bought the whole set.
Most wanted:  #202 Caleb Williams (refractor)

So these are lofty goals.  I'm hoping to have a few of these completed by year's end, and perhaps one or two within a month.  If that happens I'll get to start up more set completions projects.  😀
