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.
81. 2006 Press Pass Legends #28 Rusty Wallace
Another small set, completed in one box, which I did on 11/10/06 |
82. 1991 Pro Set #104 Ted Musgrave's Car
This is a moderately sized set, but I was able to complete it with a bunch of duplicates to spare on 1/3/07 |
83. 1995 Hi-Tech 1994 Brickyard 400 #86 Ernie Irvan
I bought this factory set in September 2007 but I don't know the exact day. The Jeff Gordon gold foil card was the first one I scanned when I began the process of scanning my entire collection in 2009. |
84. 2007 Rittenhouse DC Legacy #6 Batman
I don't know when or which card was last so I just went with Batman. |
85. 1991 Langenberg ARCA/Hot Stuff #4 Mike Fry
Although this set is under 100 cards and only sold as a factory set- it wasn't a guarantee that you'd get every card, as I bought a sealed factory set of the 1992 issue the same day and came up two cards short. Both arrived to me on 4/30/09. I was almost out of the hobby in 2008, with only one documented new card. I came back in 2009 and I've been back ever since. |
86. 2009 Wheels Element #47 Ron Hornaday
This was the first box I had purchased since 2006, I did it on 5/7/09 and completed the set, making it the first current set I had completed since November of 2006. |
87. 1996 Upper Deck Road to the Cup #RC123 Ray Evernham
In August 2009 I joined a NASCAR specific trading card message board, and quite a few of my completions are directly due to the board. The first three arrived togther on 8/24/09. This was always a favorite set of mine, I did a box when it was new but came up a few cards short. |
88. 2002 Press Pass Trackside #30 Ward Burton
This is another box I did but came up short, the last one I needed arriving on 8/24/09 |
|
90. 1998 Maxx 10th Anniversary #129 Checklist 41-60
One of my all time favorite sets, this one also was completed with the help of the NUTS members, on 9/2/09 |
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! |
