In 1996, I gave up buying packs and boxes to pursue one set of cards, 1996 Leaf Signature Platinum Press Proof (PR 150) set. I liked the look of the cards and the goal fit what I like about collecting...the chase. Twenty-four years later, I have acquired 149 of the 150 cards. I am short #18 Andres Galaragga.
In 2015, I posted the 148 cards I had on this website. I found the second to last card since that posting. Recently, I've been approached by someone who is trying to finish a master set for a favorite player. I don't believe this player is an easy find for this set. There are certain fan favorites that caused a lot of action during auctions, such as Kirby Puckett. Not big stars but fan favorites.
I feel selling this fan favorite is basically killing my pursuit of this set. There's always hope when you're one card away from the set. Cmon...just one time! JUST ONE TIME!!!! But asking for two miracles is a bit much.
Has anyone seen or heard of anyone completing this set? Does anyone have an idea of what a complete set would be valued at?
