hi all,
well it`s official, i`ve retired my johnny bench basic and master sets. i have just been waiting to get over the 90% completion mark.
it could not have happened soon enough for me. had a good time for awhile, but recently it had become an extreme drag.
and if it not fun anymore, why stick around ?
my master set is at 92.47 complete. which means it will still be viewable (scans included)
like johnny bench, i`m leaving the game on top !
good luck to all.
your friend, lee spies

<< <i>So if the master set expands so that he has less than 90% of the new total # of cards, will he remain in the All-Time Finest? >>
Is that the rule? I thought once you retired in the Top 5 All-Time you stayed there until 5 other sets were higher.
As for the Bench set expanding, gee I can't imagine.
People seem to think the Bench master set is small compared to some others. I think that is logical, because he retired after only a couple years of Donruss and Fleer being on the scene, and long before the explosion of other card manufacturers that Nolan Ryan registry members are, uh, blessed with. But there are still Bench issues out there that are ungraded. Like I just graded a '78 Hostess Bench, and nobody had ever done that before. Amazing. The set is at 146 cards, pins, coins, and knick-knacks now and I'd guess it won't top 200 any time soon -- which would be fine with me.
