Target obtained - very tough set complete!

Took a long while and was made very tough by player collectors and hoarders but received this card in the mail today to finish off the 1999 Finest Gold Refractors set.

There are 300 cards in this set all numbered to 100. 3 cards a piece for Griffey, Ripken and Jeter all of which usually sell over $100. Some particular "common" players end up being pretty pricey as well.

Wow. Congratulations!

Brutal set, nice going.

Congrats on completing the set.

Sweet! Congrats on finishing it off.

Yikes ! What a great looking card. Would bet PSA is brutal on those edges ? If one tooth is flawed. Very nice. Can you post more pics of the cards ?

Congrats! I finally just picked up the Larkin from this set and am waiting for it to arrive.

Fine work

Congratulations Dave - tough set.

It probably take me 20 years to complete. Nice going.

TNP777 · October 18, 2014 7:25AM

That's a heck of an accomplishment, Dave - congrats!

Do you have the complete set scanned? If so, link it up!

Will do - here are a few

I don't have a lot of time logged on FCB but I have enough to know that that Thomas is a monster. This is really impressive. I agree with others, if you've got the set scanned up somewhere I'd love to go through it.

Very Nice!

Kid4hof03 · October 18, 2014 8:21AM

Congratulations! That's a great set and a really difficult accomplishment.

Nice job !

A 300-card set where they're all #'d to /100? Good grief. That is amazing!

Love the scans so far. That Thomas....not sure I've ever even seen it. Wow.

Great stuff.

That must have been a monster to finish

Congrats

Getting scans together of all the raw and graded cards 1-300 would probably be a good project but in the meantime if anyone wanted to see more images here is a link to my PSA Set Registry Gold refractors
