What's your longest gap between card project pick-ups?

It's going on 3+ years since the Last time I picked up one of the cards in my ongoing project listed in my Sig.

Anyway, kinda doubting any more will show up, maybe ever. Not ruling it out but thinking it's about over.

Just wondering what is the biggest time gap you've had in picking up a PC item/card project/team set/rainbow, etc. ?

I've had years go by between 1971 Topps Greatest Moments. I've got a PSA registry set, but I'm lacking six of the SPs. A couple of them have been on ebay this whole time, but the prices are more than I want to pay. Others just never come up, or I forget to look for a while and miss them, and it's still doubtful I'd win them.

Most of my other projects are low serial number print runs. I've been looking for the last card for one set for about 8 years. And others can easily go months or years in between additions. But I've got quite a few going, so I'm usually picking up something or other before too long.

Not as long as most people but in the past I have gone almost a year without adding any leaf exhibits Puckett collection. I know once I get closer to the end the gaps will get much longer.

I haven't picked up a Yount Studio parallel in a few years. I have a lot of them though.

1967 set been working on it for almost 15 years. High numbers get too costly. Usually get 1-3 new cards each year at this point. 1998 Tek Brady Anderson went over a year before finding a pattern I needed.

I can't even imagine trying to do the 1967 Topps set. I'm trying to do the 1967 Phillies set and I still have 9 to go, mostly high nimbers. Good luck finishing this set.

At last count I have 39 to go. Mostly big ones too like Seaver. Let me know what Phillies you need I maybe able to help. Don't have any extra high numbers though.

It took me about 8 - 10 years to complete my 67 set. I bought most of the stars first. I could afford them then. I just picked up cards at shows with good eye appeal to me.
