as one of the few remaining set collectors in existence (at least, that's how it feels around here at local trade nights and shows...) it's always a feeling of joy when I am able to add that last missing card to the binder. Filling that last empty slot in the page. I can't help but smile.
I was able to do just that for three sets recently.
a 2009 Black Ichiro Suzuki #300. This completes my 2009 Topps Black set. I don't have the regular flagship, but I do have the Black parallel complete set. Yay me.
Come to think of it, I can cross #7 off now too.
Next up, card #126 from the 1992 Topps set.
and lastly, a wonderful minty fresh 1978 Topps Braves team card.
and now as a reward for those of you who actually read this stuff.... head over to Play At The Plate and enter his contest. Somehow he got Topps to DONATE a hobby box of 2014 Bowman. And Mr Plate is giving it away. LINK <----------- p="">

Congrats on completing your sets. I've purchased complete sets but I don't think I've chased a set since I was a kid.
Finishing the oil slick parallels is impressive. I like those a lot, but never enough to try completing them.
Congrats! I always have respect for a completed parallel set. I almost did it once with 92-93 Parkhurst Emeralds and then I copped out 20 years later and just bought the whole shebang.
I read this stuff.
Congrats on the completes
Congratulations on those set completions. Yes getting that final oh so elusive card to complete the set is pure satisfaction.
