What new sets are you collecting?

I think most everyone agrees that the topps heritage product is a home run.

After that (as I am nearly done with the master set), what else should I look out for? Is the topps all time fan favorites worth a look? I am not looking for so much an investment (though I am sure sets like the heritage will surely appreciate over time), but something fun to collect.

The topps turkey red looks like a great set, but won't be here until August.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Has Fan Favorite baseball hit yet? That was fun last year - I didn't try to finish the set - no SP's I believe - but I did get a lot of nice autos!

    I've been piddling around with the Cracker Jack set, but the SP's are frustrating. I don't know if I'll finish a set, but it's definitely not something I'll put the kind of money into like I did Heritage this year.

    Based on the chatter here I may try and put a Turkey set together. Barring that I will most likely wait for UD Ultimate Collection. UC is fun and challeging but expensive. I ended up keeping a fair amount of decent auto's/game used from the 2004 release to go with my set. Until then, it is back to other sets that I'm plodding my way through.
    Edited to add: I unfortunately opened a couple of boxes of UD Artifacts. Garbage -- but I have to finish the set. Hunting down a number of SPs from that release still.

    Mike, I started the set a week before Thanksgiving last year.

    You want to finish it in less than a year! That's incredible...is that a minimum of 9? Are there any cards in the set that are really hard to find in 9?

    For some reason I just didn't get into Topps Heritage this year. I think getting nearly scammed on a box of Bowman Heritage for Christmas soured me for a while. I got a base set of that and some SPs. Then I got some Topps Heritage SPs but didn't even bother with a base set. I think I might just buy the complete set all at once and wait for next year and a case.

    I started building a set of Finest refractors, mainly because I like the design (I like circles) but my enthusiasm is wearing off quickly. Fleer Flair was a sharp design, too, reminiscent of past SP Authentic sets. Cracker Jack seems more popular this year than last, but I personally like the busier design a lot less. There's always Topps Total at 770 cards.

    Personally, I think you should collect Topps 206 Polar Bear minis because I still need a bunch to complete my set and I've run out of trading partners.

    I hadn't heard of those sets before...did a search...they look quite nice. Not sure I want to jump into trying to find unopened material from a few years back though.

    Good luck with the set, though.

    Just started working on my Dallas Cowboys Team Sets in PSA 10's or 9's .

    Mainly concentrating on the 1970's and 1980's . Im waiting for my next paycheck or the ok from the wife ( whichever comes first lol ) and then im going to join PSA again so i can send in some cards that i have laying around here. I have a 62 Don Perkins and a 69 Bob Lilly that i've been wanting to send in for a while. Both look to be decent cards so we'll see what happens

    Axtell, i picked up a couple nice 85's the other night on Ebay . Tony Dorsett and Michael Downs , both PSA 9's . Props to you for making me realize how nice those cards really are

    If anyone here has any Cowboys graded PSA 10 or 9 that they would consider either selling or trading please lmk

    I think Perry's PSA 10 heritage team cards set is one of the more intersting projects going here.

    Fan favorites is a great set, the base sets are nice too. You can usually get an entire set with just a box of two. That Elway auto
    will be en fuego!

    I have quite a bit of 04 bow heritage and past T206/T205 stuff if anyone is doing a set. I would sell for cheap or trade, I would rather
    help you all out rather than just have it sitting in a box..LMK

    As for me it will be mostly all rookie products here on out...until heritage next year.

    Topps Heritage is the best set out there, im almost done with it.
    Personally i dont like the Cracker jack and the turkey red set does not look very attractive to me.
    Bowman Chrome is the best set to get rookie autographs , the bad thing is that it is kind of expensive,but i love it, ill probably get a case of that, or i dont if i should try bowman 05, the fan favorite looks good too.

    Oh yeah, 165 RENNIE STENNETT , 221 CHRIS SPEIER , 330 BOB WATSON , 347 TERRY FORSTER , 402 DAVE CAMPBELL , 538 JOHNNIE LeMASTER , 642 DENNY DOYLE ,725 KURT BEVACQUA

    These are cards with a pop of 3 and less in PSA 9. Not to mention MANY at 4 and 5. This set will not be easy to complete by any stretch of MY imagination!!!!!

    My goal is not to finish it within a year but to be at 75 to 80% complete.
