    Absolutely incredible set you're building there. How many more do you have to find?

    Thank you. I have just over 50 percent of the set completed. It is a fun project. When I first created the registry set it was just me but now there are 2 other collectors creating sets as well.

    What a cool project! Do you keep tabs on what players are still alive, and thus available to fill holes for you, vs ones that are gone and will be tougher? Also, do you have any idea if there are any "impossible" cards to obtain? Say, where a player had a card and then died shortly after it was printed?
    Enjoying watching your progress.

    Thanks Kevin. I don't keep tabs on who is still alive. I only keep a list of the cards I need. This set will be impossible to finish because there are a couple of cards that were never signed, for example - Babe ruth thrills card #401. I'm sure there are several others but I'm OK with that because I am enjoying this project and I love the readable cursive signatures.

    FWIW, The Babe stole 123 bases in his career. (He was also caught stealing 116 times!)
