what I have been trying to find out for a while-

has anyone, at anytime... . . . completed the crusades?? I know it would be the hardest set of all time, but it is possible IMO if you have tons of $$$$/savy.

Im hoping to complete it within 40 years (that wasnt a joke) and was just wondering if its been done

There are a lot of player collecters who have the rainbow of their guys, I have never seen anyone complete the set however. That would be a daunting task indeed. Good luck.

donrusscrsademan - just so you know George is a 90's set collecting legend around these parts and chances are if he has not completed it, no body has.

There is a collector with a set of all three colors and a couple of other collectors with green sets, that I know of.

ouch. if someone else has a full set than that brings the reds to /24, and by the time I get to the reds you might have it, which goes to /23... its going to be very tough!

any dupes?

Ive run into that a little too. Its quite confusing.. esp. when its on the top of the back? I know the bottom is for serial # and the top is for card #, but I still dont get why some at the top go /100 and others are like 111.

Does this collector have scans of his collection? I would love to just see an example of Andruw, at least that way I really know it exist lol.

I bought something from him, and it reeked of cigarette smoke. Then I put it on eBay, and he bought it back using another id. At which point, he put it back for sale as teawolves, only at more than double the price. I wouldn't deal with him again, unless he had something that was extremely rare.
