Glad you posted about this! This weekend, I got the final cards I needed to complete my 1985 Topps baseball set. Back in 1985 before an extended break from the hobby, I bought several packs a day for two or three weeks, hoping to complete the set that way. I fell 92 cards short. When I returned to the hobby this past summer, I bought the Clemens and McGwire cards from that set but got the other 90 through trades with members here. I"m grateful for the help!
I also completed the 1990 Donruss baseball set two or three weeks ago. Back in 1990, I did the same thing -- buying a bunch of packs. I was missing about 70 cards, then took the break. Although all those 1990 Donruss cards were mostly worthless junk wax, it was a point of pride to finish something I started in 1990. I have the complete set, and now I'm trying to unload a bunch of duplicates from that year. I don't think I'll have much luck in that regard!
I love to trade! Check the top couple of paragraphs of my profile to see my general trading desires. If you're uncertain if I’ll take a certain trade, message me and we can figure out something.
