The long slow climb to finishing off a set.

When you get to about 90% on a set, it seems like things slow to a crawl. Getting those last few cards takes forever it seems.

I have been upgrading a '77 baseball set, for example, getting rid of all of the O/C cards to make it a true NM-MT+ set. On Jan. 22, I needed to upgrade 73 cards. I still need 14.

Also working on a '76 football set in about the same condition. On July 1, I needed 10 cards. I still need 2.

  • I've yet to get to 90% on my first set, but I've heard that before....

    One person even said that they got all the HOFers first and got bored with the commons so they just stopped.

    I wont stop, and I hope you dont stop!

    Go get them upgrades!!!
