Base Sets
More modern sets... say from 2007-now.2011? Does Press pass for either 2011 or 2010 premium...stealth....eclipse.. have factory sets.. or is it all now... hand collated? buy packs/boxes etc.. I was wondering... if yo buy a box.. your still not guaranteed a base set? If im not mistaken.. I think baseball...... maybe years ago had at least if you bought a box of cards you could at least create a base set.... minus the parallels and inserts. I think its a decent idea for press pass? This way you can put a box on the shelf and know you have at least a base set Smile just my 2 cents +120 base cards...

Base Sets
I don't know about them making factory sets, but I have never seen one. As for hand-collated sets, every hobby box of Eclipse I have bought contained the complete base set.

Always looking for: Ozzie Smith/Stan Musial/Lou Brock/STL Cardinals, NFL-CAR/GB/NE and NASCAR-Jimmie Johnson/Mark Martin

Base Sets
I will have to double check but I think 2009 might have been the last factory base set. They did a release at the end of the year that had the complete 2009 press pass and 2009 press pass series 2 in one box.

A couple of the releases do have a complete base set in them but most will no longer have themn.

By making it harder to complete a base set it will hopefully increase the value of the bases sets plus their collectiblity. It also helps promote trading
