Every year since 2001 i swear to myself that i will finish the set

And every year about this time when Heritage talk gets going i go locate my binder and tell myself again that i need to finish the set

I was just wondering if anyone here has finished the 01 set or not ?

If so, does that include chromes and the other subsets ?

Kevin, im sure you've got a complete 01 set , right ?

Dave

P.S if anyone has cards from that set for trade/sale plmk

    I've finished the master set. Sold off 30 plus chromes about 6 months ago, inlcuding Bonds and McGwire as I wasn't going to do any chrome sets.

    Still have 1 sealed hobby box as well. Also have done the 2002 thru 2004 master sets.

    My definition of a master set does not include the chromes. I do have the complete '01 set including SPs, New Age Performers, Flashbacks and Then & Nows. I would love a set of chromes, but those are waaay out of my price range. Those '01 chrome collectors are nuts!

    Yes i've noticed some of the prices on the chromes

    I think im going to start slowly buying what i need to finish the set off

    Im having trouble justifying spending $$ on the other Heritage sets without finishing the first one

    We have to remember that when we say chromes in 2001, we are talking about something much rarer than chromes today. The print
    run on 01 was far less and the only chromes were the ones numbered to 552. The odds were one pack over a box 1:25...Topps took a
    page out of Pacifics book......you can't complain if you didn't pull one, as the odds were one more than a box.

    I own a complete master set of 2001, as I do all the other sets. I also own a BGS 9 Ripken from 2001, graded back in the tough days of
    beckett. I also have all the retired autos of 2001. This set I will never get rid of. It means too much. I also have about 20 other real
    ones from 2001 including Arod and a few Spahn's. I also own a good 200-300 SP's and low number SP's from the set as well as
    some inserts. I sold my chromes a few years back to one collector for what I thought was way too much, but as it usually turns out, he
    was the one getting the deal.

    I still wish in the future to open another box of this stuff. Its really not the money, as it is locating it. I got to open a few packs last year
    on a trip to Phoenix. What a blast!

    I not have 7 binders on the shelves. Some thin (02) and some thick (05), they all have cards in them, but for me most of those
    cards mean something...wether its the Newcombe auto I pulled late at night at walmart on my birthday a few years back, or the Duke
    Snider auto which competed my 01 set, those cards will always carry the memories of was good about this hobby.

    If anyone has any holes in any sets, let me know. Im also looking for any real one autos.

    Thanks
    Kevin
