What does that mean? You don't know how, you don't have space, you don't have all the cards?

Am I missing something?

My experiences have not been quite as bad as some others, but I definitely use trades, Beckett Marketplace, and COMC to fill in the gaps when putting together a set rather than keep buying boxes and hoping for the best.
Am I missing something?
Good luck!

Seconding what kerryandbeth said. Blasters stink due to collation. I have actually gotten blasters that contained all of the exact same cards in different boxes. I suggest completing the Opening Day set - 220 cards and the prices are a lot cheaper and still have fun collecting. Let me know what you still need and I'll see what I have as extras that I can send your way. To save money, if colleting Topps flagship - Series 1&2 wait until the complete sets come out in June/July and buy a set for around $70-$80. Good luck and have fun collecting with your grandson!

After buying several series 1 blasters and hangers. I went to a card show this weekend and bought the 42 or so cards I needed to complete series 1. You might want to check and see if there is a card show in your area. Your grandson might enjoy looking through the boxes for the cards that he needs. Just a suggestion.

Why not send out a list on here and see if we have some of your common wants???

Bad collation is when you get more than 1 of the same card in the same box.
