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.
61. 2001 Wheels High Gear #11 Matt Kenseth
I also completed this one on 8/19/04 but I didn't note the last card needed. |
62. 2000 Upper Deck Racing #16 Sterling Marlin
I recieved a box of this set for Christmas, and at only 45 cards in the set, I completed it almost 2 times over. |
63. 2003 Wheels High Gear #27 Jimmy Spencer
I also recieved a box of this one on Christmas of 2003. I finally began writing my NASCAR listing on paper with this set- something I had been doing with basketball since 1998 - and this was the first card I listed. |
64. 1991 Maxx #35 Robert Yates
My long time favorite set, I wrote down the last card I needed but not the date I fnished it. I have since completed it two times over! |
65. 1991 Pro Set Petty Family #42 1987 Pontiac
I didn't write down when I finished it or what card finished it, but it was early...I chose a card I liked for this gallery. |
66. 1991 Traks #200 Richard Petty
I bought a factory set. There are actually two versions - the pack versions are not glossy, the factory set versions are glossy- I have not yet completed the base versions. |
67. 1992 Collect-A-Card Muscle Cars #85 1970 Plymouth Superbird
I bought this set in pages at a card show sometime in the 1990s. Card is a not-quite random choice, one of my all time favorite cars. |
68. 1993-94 Jam Session #10 Alaa Abdelnaby
I didn't write down the date or last card needed, would be sometime before 2000 when I began writing down the dates. I chose the first player alphabetically to get NBA cards. |
70. 1994 Upper Deck USA #75 Dominique Wilkins
I had originally counted the Olympic team sets as a seperate collection, I didn't integrate them into my NBA collection until 2011. When I did that and created the listing, I discovered that I had finished the 1994 UD USA set at some point. |
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! |
