Are you actively working on completing in graded form? When I first started, I wanted to do a 1971 baseball set and Boggs basic set....from there, I have branched out to several others.

Am I alone in this, or do most fall into wanting to work on several different sets?

    This is embarrassing, since I got involved in the Registry to try to focus.
    1963 Topps
    1961 Topps
    Since I had these when I was a kid.

    1953 Topps.
    Because, well, forget it.

    Then I decided to do a pre-war:

    T-205

    I wanted to do Ernie Banks, a hero of my childhood, so I did.
    Ernie Banks.
    Then, of course, Billy Williams
    Billy Williams.
    I needed at least one modern set.
    Sammy Sosa
    Then there was a thread about collecting your dad's favorites, so I'm thinking about Koufax. I also really like the T-201s. Focused, I am not.

    Only doing the 67 baseball set. I was going to start a separte thread, but I will ask it here. Can you tell me why you chose a paticular set to do. I chose 67s because I like the design and I was born in the 60s (that is all I will say on that). Did not start buying cards until 74, but think that 67 is one of the best of Topps.

    I'm doing the top 10 NFL career rushers. The tough part is at #10. Franco Harris is sitting there, but Marshall Faulk is only 330 yards away.
    Looking for 1955 Topps All American Four Horseman.
