The Completed Set -- 2011 Topps Black #/60
The Completed Set -- 2011 Topps Black #/60
After a 20 year break from collecting, I decided to get back into the hobby over Christmas vacation last year. I wasn't sure who or what I wanted to collect, but after I completed a trade at our LCS for Mariano Rivera (60/60) I knew this would be fun...and a challenge.
So, as of last week, I have officially finished the entire set -- Series 1, Series 2, and the Update Series. 990 of 990 cards collected.
In a recent thread, someone asked a few really interesting questions...
Longest card to find? Series 1 Ike Davis #290 (found it finally via a referral to sportscardforum.com
Sources for the cards? Ebay, Checkoutmycards.com, sportslot.com, bbonly.com, sportsbuy.com.
Most expensive card? Series 1 Albert Pujols #100 -- $190. Yikes! Card is sharp -- will grade very high.
Total amount spent? My lips are sealed.
Is the set for sale/trade? Yes, if the deal is right.
I just created a photobucket account; hopefully this works when I post the link.

I do have a few dupes left (Phillies and Mariners TC and Eduardo Nunez RC). LMK if you are interested.
To anyone that helped me out, please allow me to say "THANKS" again!
