<< <i>I would like to add some cards to my signed 1952 Topps Yankee team set. I have been stuck at 19 out of 29 for a while now. There are also some vintage signed Yankee team sets I am only 1 or 2 cards away from finishing. >>
I did pretty good. Added 2 more signed 1952 Topps to my Yankees team set including a high number. I also finished some of my other signed Yankees team sets. The earliest being 1948, 1950, & 1955 Bowman.
Finish that year's sets? That I did do. Completed the 2014 Topps BB base set and the 2013-14 OPC Hockey base set.
Help the nephews? Well, the older one is still puttering along just collecting whatever. The younger one, he's moved on to nerf guns but he still had fun while it lasted.
