Sorry to toot my own horn, but I just finished my 1976 Topps set with the aquisition of #302 Rick Miller! I am too excited not to share it with those of you who appreciate the work and money involved. 1976 was the first year I started collecting baseball cards as a kid and it was also a pretty good time to be a Reds fan. I only need to replace 7 PSA 8's to have all 9's or 10's. I will continue to upgrade (although although Bob's (rbdjr1) set is out of reach at number 1.

Also, I want to thank all of those sellers that have helped me obtain some really nice cards.

You're very welcome.

Really, these monster "modern" sets are very difficult to complete. Not because of availability but because most just burn out way before the finish line.
Post a link to the set!

No apologies!
That's what some of us live for!
Whether it's PSA 10 or - 10, it's an accomplishment.
I know a lot of hours of time were spent hunting down that many cards. The shear weight in plastic alone is mind numbing!
How about showing the last card? It's a monument to your work.
Congratulations and thanx for sharing!

Oustanding. Congratulations!

I started this set about a year ago...but burned out. So many cards! It really is very difficult to complete any set that has 500+ cards. That is a boatload of PSA 10s you got there.
Collector of Pittsburgh Pirates cards for a slightly less stupid reason.

P.S.-After looking at the pop report this thing will be a chore to do in 9's as I am doing!

1976 Topps was the first complete set I obtained from a dealer. I remember going with my Dad to the card shop on my 10th birthday (3/25) and picking it up. It was a big deal for me, as my dad rarely took us out to run errands on a weeknight. It is a great memory of mine. I recently put that same set in plastic pages to enjoy.
I'm sure you will have as much fun enjoying your set!!!

You have a much longer attention span than I do.
Big props brother!
As I'm reading this thread - I'm staring at a framed uncut 76T sheet - No Eck but it does have Aaron, McCovey, Schmidt, Jackson, Palmer, Carter, Ruth and Williams SN etc.
It's a favorite of mine - I was at Columbia that year, me and my best friend would go to a 7-11 type store near the school and I would always pick up a pack or 2 and Alex would say - are you out of you mind?
Aren't you a bit old for BB cards? He just didn't get it. But then again, neither does my wife!!!!

That uncut sheet sounds great. I have thought about getting some uncut sheets, but I just don't have the wall space with all of the other framed pieces that I have. My wife is kind enough to give me one room. She even let me put in astro-turf from Riverfront Stadium/Cinergy Field down instead of carpet. But she doesn't want to see baseball stuff in the other rooms!
I'd love to see it.
