Thanks to a PIF (alanskontra) from a proposed trade that hopefully will still get completed at a later date, my 1988 Topps sticker set is now complete.

And another set is completed through trades. This time it is the 1990 Topps Coins set.
My ex-wife had bought the boxed set for me for Xmas one year. When I had opened it, I found that only half the coins were there, all doubled up. Since then the chase was on. Finally, in a recent trade with hershey, the last 3 coins have filled the plastic holder that came in the box. Thanks hershey!

Just picked up a Terrell Davis RC to complete the 1995 Sportflix set! This set was the first I completed entirely through trades on this site.

I am so happy to announce that the trade finally arrived and I can now say that my 1974 Topps baseball set is now complete. Alongside my 1974 OPC baseball set, these are the two oldest sets I have completed. Thanks for the help, Eric Marthaler!

Do you have any worries of the binders bending the cards? As I re-enter the hobby I've notice that the Topps S1 & S2 are maxing out a binder and not sure I'll be able to fit the Update in there....also working on Heritage and that's a big numbered set too. Was contemplating leaving the Heritage in a box, but that just doesn't seem right.

I have my lists closed right now as I update everything but they are changing big time as I enter the cards from my wants to my collecction. Many sets now in the "less than 10 cards needed" to complete. This is what the hobby should be - collecting, trading, accomplishing small goals. Thanks to all the members who do trade for the enjoyment.

Once I get through these next 2 work trips I'll be opening trading again...finally. Hopefully there's still enough there to help each other out.
