The Easiest Two Sets I Ever Assembled

rmoss

I put together a set of all baseball cards with a Moss (my last name) on them. There is only one card with a player named Moss on it. Without going through my cards and looking, it was a card from the early 50's and the guy played for the St. Louis Browns. Don't remember his first name. I do remember it was an oversized card. By that I mean it was longer than a normal card. It was just luck I ran into the card. I also put together a set with all players from my home town, Dallas, NC, so I have a Ted Abernathy card in my collection.

How about Don Mossi? Anyway, you should try all sports, there are a few Moss cards out there. My last name is Tippet, and I thought about doing the same thing. I would have a few, but not many.

Griffins

Les Moss.

Not familiar with Les Moss. I bought the Brown's card in '89 or '90. According to the reference guide the dealer had, that was the only Moss listed then. Thanks for the info, guess I'll have to upgrade the set now.

Brandon Moss debuted for the Red Sox this month. I bet he will have a card real soon if he doesn't have one already.

Looks like that first complete set just got quite a bit more difficult... Anybody come up with a Dallas, NC list yet?

<< <i>Looks like that first complete set just got quite a bit more difficult... Anybody come up with a Dallas, NC list yet? >>



Sorry to be so late replying to this thread but thanks for all the information. It looks like I really need to update the set but I haven't bought a sports card since 1991. I just find it interesting to come and read what everyone has to say. I got into sports cards from '86 through '91 and quit when I bought 4 wax boxes of 91 Bowmans. I didn't get but about 40% of the set. I had always been told if a person bought 4 wax boxes they sould get all but maybe 3 or 4 cards in a set. I don't even own a certified card. I think I have been out of the hobby too long.
