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.
181. 2002-03 Topps Chrome #165 Bostjan Nachbar
I actually completed a Topps Chrome set! Never imagined I'd do that. I also want to complete the Refractor parallel...COMC 6/22/16 |

183. 1993 Maxx Premier Plus #30 Michael Waltrip
I bought a box and came up 4 cards short. I was able to trade for the other three but not this one. COMC 6/22/16 |
184. 2010 Press Pass Premium #47 No. 42 Target Chevrolet
I was 11 cards short on this set, including 7 of the 10 short prints, but I decided to go for it anyway. Mission accomplished! COMC 6/22/16 |
185. 2010 Press Pass Legends #10 Dale Earnhardt
I really didn't care for this set but I still completed it. COMC 6/22/16 |
186. 1997-98 Bowman's Best #32 Shareef Abdur-Rahim
I completed two Bowman's Best sets in one day! COMC 6/22/16 |
187. 1999-00 Bowman's Best #101 Elton Brand
It was just pure luck that Elton, my all-time favorite player, was the last of the 4 cards I needed to come out of the box. COMC 6/22/16 |
188. 1997 Press Pass ActionVision #3 Dale Earnhardt Qualifying
While this is only a 12 card set, they were issued in packs (one card per pack, which was actually a small box) and it took me 19 years to complete it, so it definitely counts. And causes me some distress at the thought of 1997 being 19 years ago. COMC 6/22/16 |
189. 1995-96 Hoops #120 Dana Barros
This was the second NBA set I added to my collection, back when it was new. I did boxes of both series over time but could not complete the set. I got the last six I needed all from the COMC Spring Cleaning sale which arrived to me on June 22nd, 2016, making it 19 completed sets- 20 if you want to count the 2009 Press Pass Blue set, which is 220 cards, but a parallel... |
190. 2011 Wheels Element #80 Matt Kenseth / Carl Edwards / Greg Biffle / David Ragan
In July of 2016 a friend of mine sent me a giant box of cards- I ended up getting more than 1100 new NASCAR cards, one of only 5 times I've gotten 1000 or more new cards in a day, and the last card I needed to complete the set was included. |
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! |
