I've built hundreds of base sets and even a few rare 90's insert sets, but I've never had the guts to try and finish an auto or game used set before.
First up, 2013 Topps WBC Tribute. I don't remember this set when it came out. It was probably during one of the Bowman releases where I was throwing hundreds down the drain to pull a bunch of Andrew Aplins. I bought the Stanton purple 1/1 base this summer and thought the design was pretty neat. It wasn't until I bought the Stanton patch that I got curious about the rest of the set. I knew there were WBC logos and flag patches, which I thought were awesome but never thought I'd own. I started buying a few here and there, and played it smart and waited for sellers to list a bunch so I could save on shipping. I plan on doing the DR set in gold, the PR set in blue, and the Japan set in orange to commemorate their gold, silver and bronze medals. I'll upgrade the patches when I get closer to finishing the set. Still got a looonnng way to go.
I absolutely LOVE the black /5's.
1/1's. Might be adding a Venezuelan flag soon
Next up, 2014 Five Star. I always loved Five Star, and this year Stanton has a ton of high end stuff in it. Again, I never planned on building this set. I bought a Livan for my Marlins collection for a few bucks and really liked it. Did the same thing as Tribute, started bottom feeding...multiple cards from the same seller, lots, etc.

Silver Signatures/Golden Graphs. Not sure if I'll finish this set. If I do, it'll probably be any parallel goes
Auto Jumbo patches. Also have a Stanton redemption and a Longo incoming.
