My Completed Setsby Billy Kingsley - 266 cards (Last updated on Jun 24, 2022) |
Since I am OCD, I also have kept track of when I completed many of the sets. If I know the exact date, I will include it in the caption. I also had the idea, circa 2004, to record the last card I needed to complete the set, if I wrote it down, that is the card I will use for this album.
111. 1999-00 Metal #158 Richard Hamilton
This set has the exact same story as the Hoops card above. This was also the last issue of Metal, always one of my favorite brands. |
112. 2000-01 Fleer Tradition #87 Al Harrington
This is a 300 card set, which I did a box of when it was new or fairly new. I came up only one card short...until 3/31/13! |
113. 2002-03 Fleer Box Score #149 Fred Jones
The most recent set completion at the time of this list's creation on 4/2/13, as I got it on 3/31/13. It's funny, I loved this set when it was new...I even did three boxes trying to complete it...but now looking back on it it's really not a favorite set. Weird how perceptions change! |
114. 2004 Wheels High Gear #15 Sterling Marlin
For Christmas of 2013, my mom used the Database's "Sets close to completion" feature to knock off a few of my close sets...8 of them, in fact, which makes 12/25/13 my new daily leader for most sets completed in one day...I also got a grand total of 814 new cards that day, making it one of the best days for my hobby, and for sure the best day of 2013, which as a general rule, stunk. |
115. 1991 Collegiate Collection Legends of Indy #100 Indianapolis Motor Speedway logo / 1991 Winner Commemorative Offer
This is the set I mentioned in the original captions, as receiving on 12/31/12 but not yet on the Database at that time. I am missing the mail away variation on card #100, but I don't count variations. The friend I traded with to get this died in summer 2013, I didn't even know he had cancer. |
116. 2006 Press Pass #116 Carl Edwards
Another one I got for Christmas 2013. I came up one card short on the box. |
117. 2006 Press Pass Eclipse #11 Jamie McMurray
I was 6 cards short on 2006 Eclipse, after doing a box when new, and I got them all on 12/25/13. |
118. 1995 SP #104 Ward Burton's Car
I did a box of these in 2013, but came up a handful of cards short...even though UD gave me a huge stack of duplicates (more than once giving me two copies of the same card in a single pack!) and I got all the missing cards for Christmas 2013. |
119. 2013 Press Pass #0 Chase for the Sprint Cup
I did a box of 2013 Press Pass in January 2013 but did not get the one-per-case #0 card. I got it, and the 2014 #0, for Christmas 2013. |
120. 2003-04 Fleer Tradition #294 Mike Sweetney / David West / Brian Cook
A larger 300 card set, I did a box when it was new and came up one card short- this one. I got it for Christmas 2013, and the copy I got was actually graded. I am debating cutting it out of the plastic, which I find a frivolous waste of money. (I told her never to buy me anything graded unless it was under $10-I refuse to financially support anyone dumb enough to not think for themselves) |
Comments
As a straight up baseball guy (who briefly dabbled in football and basketball-don't know where those went), it's fascinating to me what people collect. Nice list. V3

Great list!
| ||
Cool list and achievements.
| ||
Set #1 is my favorite. I have 25 of those cards and hopefully will get the whole set one day. Great era of Monster Truck racing.
Great list.
| ||
The trade with Billy for his last card to complete his 158th set was my first trade on the DB. Nice list Billy.
| ||
I JUST now saw all your comments, thanks folks!
| ||
I had no idea that a Bill & Ted card set existed. Very cool!
| ||
The Marvel Universe cards...I wasn't ever into comics, but most of the boys in my class were collecting these cards, so I did as well. Everybody was trading and working on sets...and chasing those holograms!
| ||
Man, Billy! I get excited about basketball everytime I read a list of yours. I didn't see 90-91 Skybox or Hoops as completed. Are they, but just not logged in? | ||
Dave, most excellent! Kin, still chasing those holograms myself! Commish, I have not completed Skybox yet, but I did complete Hoops, I forgot to list it on here though! | ||
It's surprising to me how very few of MY very few sets are in your list! In NASCAR, I saw 2010 Legends on the list. I pulled that whole set from one hobby box. 2009 Press Pass Racing, I still have an unopened factory set of that as a freebie from D&A Cardworld. 1996 UD Road to the Cup Racing, you just sent me the next to last card I need to complete that set about a month ago, but still missing that last one. Where are the NBA sets that I actually own? I HAD the 92-93 sets of Skybox and UD until someone stole a bunch of my cards. I actually had almost every complete set released for NBA cards that season. I picked specific sets to replace the missing cards from those years and re-completed the full Stadium Club and Ultra sets. I kept/re-completed a few of the insert sets from various brands for that year too. BUT, I mostly traded away cards from anything that year to finish my Club and Ultra sets. I also have the 1994-95 Ultra set and the Series 2 set of 1997-98 Z-Force (loved that brand). Back to the Marvel cards mentioned before, 1990 Impel Marvel Universe is the TOP non-sport set that I would love to complete! The holograms are RARE and I have 2 of them already. But I loved the design so much that I went after the 1991 Impel Marvel Universe set hard when it was released and it still took me 15 years to get the last two base cards I needed to complete that set. I completed the 5-card hologram set LONG before I completed the base set!!! I haven't even mentioned my MLB/NFL complete sets or the other NASCAR sets I've completed. I generally don't go after complete sets, but when I get close enough or really like the set, I'll try to complete it.
| ||
That's the neat thing about the hobby, odds are nobody's collection will be exactly the same. If I had lots of money I'd complete a lot more sets, LOL! I'm curious to see what my first completed Hockey set will be. I know I have two factory sets waiting to be opened so I could make it one of them pretty easily, but I don't want to do that just yet... | ||
This is a very cool list Billy. As very much a non-set collector I am always fascinated by the people who go after complete sets and how they go about competing them. That is something I could never do, and that's ok. My collection is on random, always has been always will. | ||
Oh there's a ton of randomness to my collection. It's just really luck when I do complete a set these days! |
