My Completed Setsby Billy Kingsley - 266 cards (Last updated on Jun 24, 2022) |
Since I am OCD, I also have kept track of when I completed many of the sets. If I know the exact date, I will include it in the caption. I also had the idea, circa 2004, to record the last card I needed to complete the set, if I wrote it down, that is the card I will use for this album.
151. 1993 Cardz Muppets #60 The Pigseidon Adventure
Found a complete set for $5 at a local dealer on 9/6/2015. I already had some but needed most of them, and it became my 7th completed set in 2015, kind of a lower number than I expected by this time in the year. |
152. 1997 Kenner/Topps/Upper Deck Starting Lineup Cards #128 Shareef Abdur-Rahim
Completed via Ebay on 10/9/2015! I never though I would ever complete a SLU series, but when I finally documented my collection in late summer 2015, I realized I was only 4 away from the complete collection for 1997, including the Legends and Extended series! I was able to get all 4 on Ebay, without paying as much as $10 for any of them, and as little as $2.49 for the Kevin Garnett figure and card. The last three I needed all arrived on the same day. |
153. 1979-80 Topps #21 Brian Winters
The last 22 cards I needed to complete this set arrived to me on 10/10/2015 as a gift from Mark Hoyle. Thanks Mark! |
154. 1987 Comic Images G.I. Joe #33 Blowtorch
Got the entire set as a thank you from another blogger! |
155. 1994 Cardz Hanna-Barbera Classics #NNO Checklist 31-T3
Got entire set in trade with another blogger |
|
157. 2013 Topps 75th Anniversary #68 Charlie's Angels
Got a box for Christmas 2015 and completed the set |
158. 1991 Collect-A-Card Vette Set #59 1986 Corvette Sport Coupe
Received the final card I needed in trade with new Database member Knighthawk40, it arrived in the mail on 1/13/16, my first completed set of the year! I actually got the last 6 or 7 cards I needed in various trades with Database members. |
159. 1996 Wheels Knight Quest Armor #45 Don Hawk
I got the entire set in trade with Database member Joshua825 on 1/30/2016 |
160. 1991-92 Hoops #579 Michael Jordan
I got the last the couple of cards I needed on 1/30/16 in a trade with Database member RUwrong, At 590 cards, this is the largest set I've ever completed. |

As a straight up baseball guy (who briefly dabbled in football and basketball-don't know where those went), it's fascinating to me what people collect. Nice list. V3

Great list!
| ||
Cool list and achievements.
| ||
Set #1 is my favorite. I have 25 of those cards and hopefully will get the whole set one day. Great era of Monster Truck racing.
Great list.
| ||
The trade with Billy for his last card to complete his 158th set was my first trade on the DB. Nice list Billy.
| ||
I JUST now saw all your comments, thanks folks!
| ||
I had no idea that a Bill & Ted card set existed. Very cool!
| ||
The Marvel Universe cards...I wasn't ever into comics, but most of the boys in my class were collecting these cards, so I did as well. Everybody was trading and working on sets...and chasing those holograms!
| ||
Man, Billy! I get excited about basketball everytime I read a list of yours. I didn't see 90-91 Skybox or Hoops as completed. Are they, but just not logged in? | ||
Dave, most excellent! Kin, still chasing those holograms myself! Commish, I have not completed Skybox yet, but I did complete Hoops, I forgot to list it on here though! | ||
It's surprising to me how very few of MY very few sets are in your list! In NASCAR, I saw 2010 Legends on the list. I pulled that whole set from one hobby box. 2009 Press Pass Racing, I still have an unopened factory set of that as a freebie from D&A Cardworld. 1996 UD Road to the Cup Racing, you just sent me the next to last card I need to complete that set about a month ago, but still missing that last one. Where are the NBA sets that I actually own? I HAD the 92-93 sets of Skybox and UD until someone stole a bunch of my cards. I actually had almost every complete set released for NBA cards that season. I picked specific sets to replace the missing cards from those years and re-completed the full Stadium Club and Ultra sets. I kept/re-completed a few of the insert sets from various brands for that year too. BUT, I mostly traded away cards from anything that year to finish my Club and Ultra sets. I also have the 1994-95 Ultra set and the Series 2 set of 1997-98 Z-Force (loved that brand). Back to the Marvel cards mentioned before, 1990 Impel Marvel Universe is the TOP non-sport set that I would love to complete! The holograms are RARE and I have 2 of them already. But I loved the design so much that I went after the 1991 Impel Marvel Universe set hard when it was released and it still took me 15 years to get the last two base cards I needed to complete that set. I completed the 5-card hologram set LONG before I completed the base set!!! I haven't even mentioned my MLB/NFL complete sets or the other NASCAR sets I've completed. I generally don't go after complete sets, but when I get close enough or really like the set, I'll try to complete it.

That's the neat thing about the hobby, odds are nobody's collection will be exactly the same. If I had lots of money I'd complete a lot more sets, LOL! I'm curious to see what my first completed Hockey set will be. I know I have two factory sets waiting to be opened so I could make it one of them pretty easily, but I don't want to do that just yet... | ||
This is a very cool list Billy. As very much a non-set collector I am always fascinated by the people who go after complete sets and how they go about competing them. That is something I could never do, and that's ok. My collection is on random, always has been always will. | ||
Oh there's a ton of randomness to my collection. It's just really luck when I do complete a set these days! |
