Sometimes collecting a set can be frustrating.

I've been working on a raw 2004 Topps Cracker Jack Master set for about 3 years now.
Two of the toughest cards in the set are Group A relics of Mussina and Schilling. Both showed up on Ebay this week and ended tonight.
2004 CJ Mussina Relic
2004 CJ Schilling Relic
I've never seen the Schilling, and I've only ever seen 2 of the Mussina cards. If I did the math correctly, there should be around 150 of each relic card out there.
I set (I thought) solid snipes of around $75 each, hoping to score one of them. Nope; snipes didn't even go off. I'm a little frustrated. Not sure if I'll ever finish this monster.

For those interested Here's my checklist.
A Master set, as I call it, consists of:
Base set (250)
Mini Sticker set (250)
Red Mini set (250)
Blue Mini set (250)
Secret Suprise Autos (11)
Mini Autos (6)
1,2,3 Strikes You're Out Relics (18)
Take Me Out to the Ballgame Relics(54)
Total of 1089 cards.
