IT...IS...FINISHED!!!!! My 1975 Set is done!!!!

Guru · June 21, 2014 3:38AM

Went to my local card show today and traded for 4 cards and then decide to just buy the last 3 on ebay about a minute ago. It's finally done. 2 years in the working, lots of help from guys here on the board, and help from friends in town. My first vintage set is finished.

Thanks to everyone on here who helped me put this together. I couldn't have done it without you. Just goes to show you that the generosity of this board outweighs some of the crazy things that happen on here.

Time to celebrate!!!!

congrats! I use to be into cards when I was younger but after following the forum I might get back into them. small time though

Congrats-- one of the best sets ever. Bursting with color, and the rookie firepower and HOFers is almost unparalleled. The first set I look at in a binder when stressed and looking to chill.

Congrats Guru. So what set will you attempt now? Are you thinking doing something in the 1960's or staying in the 70's?

BaltimoreYankee · June 21, 2014 5:33AM

Congrats on the set completion! I'm one card behind you for the mini version. Still have my original full size version from 1975. Great set!!

Congratulations on a job well done. Building a set with that kind of dedication is a labor if love. I hope
you decide to find another year to build as you continue to enjoy the hobby.
