Nice! Good to see the older sets getting completed!
Just received a resonably priced Minshew RC to finish up the 2019 Luminance base set. Also trying to put together the Gold and Blue Parallel sets as well as most of the insert sets.

Yesterday I received in trade the last card I needed for the 2019 Topps Opening Day set. I have liked these Opening Day sets since they came out in 1998 but this is the first one I complete.
This is another set that I started by buying a large lot of cards for dirt cheap from a person who opened boxes to sell the top cards. I then finished it through trades here on this site. The next such set is the 2020 Topps Update set which should be complete when I receive a trade that was just agreed on today.
Thanks to those who look at my lists of sets that are close or getting close to completion.

I have been a site member for several years and participated in nearly all available activities, on some level. However I've always been nervous about trading- I worry about damage occuring from rough handling by a carrier on a card or cards I send someone- but after reading this post I feel a bit motivated to look through my sets that are close to completion and seeing if I have multiple cards that other's need. I guess my worry is just an unnecessary anxiety if so many of you have successfully traded that many times!
Thanks (everyone,) for sharing!!! Becky

Received a trade from dsorek today which helped complete both the 1986 Donruss and Fleer sets. The time you took to look at my lists of sets that I am "oh so close" is much appreciated Dan.

Another major set completed by trading, this time the 1999 Topps. Nice to see that long-time lone empty pocket filled.

A true pleasure to help you out Bruno. Glad I was able to contribute to help you finish those sets. I just completed the 1973 Topps baseball set this week. I made a decision in January to go after 1970-1974 Topps baseball sets and I was able to complete 1973 and 1974 (plus traded) in less than a year with the help of so many wonderful people here. I know 1970-1972 will take considerably longer. I met a gentleman last week to trade and he told me he has been working on the 1972 set for 10 years albeit in nice condition whereas I'm just looking for any condition. I'm getting closer each trade though.
1970 - Over 71% in hand or in accepted trades
1971 - Over 60% in hand or in accepted trades
1972 - Nearly 60% in hand or in accepted trades, but I don't have any Series 6 which are the most illusive
Congrats to all completing sets and thank you to all for helping me complete mine!
