I finished a childhood set tonight after 39 years. I started with 60 cards from my childhood set and over the last 15 years I have picked up some here and there but always was short 2 commons. After years of upgrading to a NM-MT set I found the final 2 cards to the wood boarder 1966 Topps football set tonight. Strangely enough, I needed 5 cards (all Cowboys) to finish off another childhood set, 1967 Philly football. Well, I won an auction tonight for 10 cards all Cowboys and the 5 I needed were in it. 2 set, both finished on the same night, 39 and 38 years later. Heres an example of the 66 set. BTW, both sets are raw and I can finally say, DONE.

Congrats on the accomplishment. Now you just have to get them all graded in 8 or better.

Congrats!
I've got a few of those cards stashed someplace, but I have no idea where I got them from. I only bought fb in '68 to the best of my recollection...
