Set completion seems impossible, what to do?

RE: Set completion seems impossible, what to do?
Keep going. Ive built the Topps Sterling sets #/250. Im done with 06, 09 & 10. I need 5 cards for 07 and around 75 for 08. Take breaks. Put it down then come back to it later. Keeps it fun and not so much like work. Ive done that a number of times over the years with these sets.

I would press on set yourself a limit on what you can spend per month on ebay for the cards you need. Believe me when I say it will be worth it. Just look at my Jeter 1992 to 1996 collection I thought it was a long shot but now I am down to one card and if I gave up a few years ago I would have regretted it now. But patience is the key and when you finish it post it up and people will be impressed.
Derek Jeter Collector from 1992-1996. 305 out of 306 99% complete.

1450/1919 1990's Jeter cards 76%

Rob I know I have some Zenith patches...was just in that box the other night...will list them over the weekend.

And to the OP keep it up..the longer it takes the more rewarding it will be.

Just make sure every week or so to check this site, COMC and EBay for example. 199 should be continuing to pop so don't give up
