I just hit over 1,000 earlier this year with the Cruz collection. Currently at 1,119 of 1,671 66.9%. Of the 552 I need, 305 are not 1/1's or Tek Diffractors. Once I track those down it'll be nice to just sit back and wait for 1/1's to pop up.
Have you used it lately? Wrong names, wrong information, missing insert names. Not sure how fast it will get better when people are clicking as quick as they can entering info to get that fraction of a cent. I loved what COMC used to be. Found a lot of great stuff there. I'm just not sure...
It's still definitely a work in progress. More ideas than time lately but that's what retirement is for, in 30 years or so. :D
I have been there in the past month. Added about 100 cards to the collection and that's just how it was. Couldn't wait to see that % go up.
Thank you for the...
My Cruz collection became an obsession right around the time I realized that I could potentially complete it (minus 1/1's of course). Since then I've gone all out nuts compiling a detailed wantlist that features the locations (sites) of the last cards I need. Of the 305 left for me to acquire...
I use the free version of Weebly for my Cruz page and it's worked well for what I need out of it. Collection list, want list and scans broken down by type then year. Easy to update and displays well on my phone. Couldn't ask for more.
Was just going through COMC and saw these listed:

Guy has 64 of the 100 on there. That's crazy!
I picked up the 4 Cruz coins I needed. Just need the Solid Silver and 1/1 Solid Gold ones now. I was surprised with how many were listed. Looked like a complete master set of brass AP, nickel, nickel AP, gold plated and gold plated AP.
The great Executive Crusade mass listing along with the Donruss Elite Status and Leaf Diamond Axis test issue listings last year really surprise me. Crazy how such large groups of these can sit dormant for so long then just pop up one day at reasonable prices. One of the great mysteries of...
Here's what I've been able to snag of Cruz over the years:
I believe the Executive Samples were $90 for Red, $60 for Purple and $40 for Green when they hit COMC. I paid about double for them afterwards since I missed out on the initial insanity.
From what I've read, the Series 2...
Got around to scanning some recent Cruz pickups.
Both replacements from Donruss Signature:
A Gold Plated Coin from Pinnacle Mint:
My 14th Diffractor:
And a triple and double of stuff I already have but couldn't pass up for the price:

If the story is true, at least it explains where they came from. Even though I need it, no way I'm paying $250 when these cost me $20 each a few years back.
