Player set collectors achievements

I have always enjoyed watching the player set collectors chase down their favorite player oddball cards to put into their master sets. I started looking tonight at the progress many of these set collectors have made and decided to do a simple ranking system to see who had made the most progress. I looked at set ranking compared to finest possible and took the ratio to compute my rankings. Look at that Mattingly set and Rose set. Both more than 500 cards and both collectors are near the best possible set ranking. The Schmidt set looks great as well. I only selected sets with more than 75 cards and better than 50% complete. I was amazed at how many players that excluded.

  • Interesting.

    I'll have to do some more work to get my Jim Rice set (#11 on your list) into the top 10. That should make me the only one in the top 10 with 2 sets (3 if you lower your minimum card requirement - check out my Pepe Frias set at 90.7 on your scale).

    I updated my Willie Stargell set today - it's now at 95.0 on your scale and should go up again soon! Look out Marc (Schmidt set leader), I'm gunnin' for you! image


    The Pete Rose set is just amazing! Even if I passed JC Korth on your scale, his set would still be the leader IMO.

    The Don Mattingly set is impressive, but the cards are all from the 80's and '90s. It's tough to compare sets from different generations on the same scale. Incredibly impressive collection nonetheless!

    I love player sets, and I thought this was an interesting way to compare them. Thanks!

    Glad to hear from another Player Set collector. I appreciate that you include photos on most of your cards. Continued good luck on your impressive sets.

    Kevin,

    Thanks!

    Please let me know if I am missing a scan of any card in any of my sets ... I believe I have every single one of them scanned, front and back, and always have - even when I had 3,000 or so cards on the Set Registry. I have since sold a lot of my annual sets, but my player sets will continue to provide scans of every card. In fact, my retired 1970 Topps set still has scans of every card! image

    I have done alot of work this year on Master Set. I have not only upgraded the ones i had, I have added 56% to the Master Set this year.
    I am currently 3rd and just a percentage point behind. I also just sent in a 5 day submission of the early Carews. I also have about 20 cards now that are graded and not listed yetimage Some i have requested since April.
