Anyone working on a building a set they know will be near impossible to complete?

[Topnotchsy]

Lots of folks showing up lately that I haven't seen in a while. Big fan, talmer, big E.....

I'll throw my hat in. Been working on the fleer club 3000 gu set for years now. It may still be in my sig.... im on mobile.

Breakdown....14 players. 6 cards per player. Base. Jersey. Bat. Bat / jersey. Bat / hat / jersey.

I have all but 6 or 7 of the triples (numbered to 25).

The triples are almost never seen. When they pop up they command a serious premium. Thanks to top for getting me a couple this year!!!!!

Hey! How are things!

Which ones do are you still looking for?

2001 Donruss base set - still need 159 Ben Sheets Buyback #/500 - this was a last minute replacement redemption in the set. I have only seen one of these since 2001 and I missed it.

I collect Ben Sheets (for what reason, I still don't know...), and this is one of the few early Sheets I need. Never seen one, although I have either seen or owned every available parallel to it.

I'm still working on the blue mini ref /250 set from 2013 Bowman. I need about 50 still, including Puig. :/

Help appreciated!

Thanks for the response. The only one that I saw went for well over $100. I thought that I had a good bid, but was nowhere near the ending price. Still kicking myself for not putting a higher bid on it. Oh well. This will be one of those endless chases for me.

Not for me. I don't have the time,.patience, or money to a set.

Good Luck on it though.

Wow that takes things to a different level in my book. Extensive, expensive expansive and just insane. How far along are you in each?

Which of the 2009 Ultimate Patch cards do you need? I have the complete set and some doubles as well.

I need to get them all together to see which ones I need.. The BIG one is the Jeter!!

Baseball Hall of Fame autographs is mine. I have 44 different with some duplicates, but still havent gotten into the super high enders and with a chance new hall of famers going in makes it that much more tougher.

Also have Alomar and a Stanton redemption

Have about 12-15 so far, but this is my first /50.


Neither her one of these sets will be impossible, as the patches are /35 and the lowest base is /50. But I kinda missed a decimal point in my cost calculations. I can see this project costing $5000-$8000, and that's being patient.

Anyone else?

I seriously don't think I'll ever finish my 2001 Fleer Game Time Famers Lumber set. All the cards are numbered out of 100 but they never, ever show up.
Fortunately I only need Thurman Muson and Willie Stargell. Of course I've never seen either of them and I've been looking for nearly six years.

I'm also working on the 2001 Fleer Red Sox 100th game used and autograph sets. I just need some of the Sp's for the Splednid Slpinters GU bat set and some of the SP's for the Red Sox Threads set. Those are SP'd to 100 copies and hardly ever show up either and when they do they are big money. The BoxSox Sigs set isn't as tough but the autos of the superstars are very rare.

I'm halfway still working on the 2003 Leaf Lumber Off My Back set. Each card is numbered to 50, but since I started 10 years after the set was made I doubt I'll finish it. Same with the 2005 Patch Off My Back set. I just waited too long to start them
