My Completed Sets

by Billy Kingsley - 266 cards (Last updated on Jun 24, 2022)



201. 1991 Topps American Gladiators #74 Ice, Ice Baby


Also completed 2/1/17 as a gift from a Database member, meaning I got all 88 base cards as gifts from the Database, plus all the stickers though I can't remember if I have completed them or not.

I was a huge fan of this show and at one point considered being one of the Gladiators a life goal, before reality set in. Keep in mind in 1991 I was only 7 years old, LOL.


202. 2012 Topps U.S. Olympic Team & Hopefuls #36 Tucker Dupree


Completed the set on 3/26/17 as a gift from fellow card blogger JediJeff


203. 1991-92 Fleer #330 John Starks


Completed 4/1/17 in trade from Database member Mitch, one of four sets completed in one trade!


204. 1992-93 Ultra #271 Robert Horry


Completed 4/1/17 in trade from Database member Mitch, one of four sets completed in one trade!

When I did my countdown of 20 favorite NBA sets for my 20th anniversary collecting the sport, I ranked this set #17 all time (out of more than 650 sets) http://cardboardhistory.blogspot.com/2016/01/nba-20th-anniversary-countdown-17-1992.html


205. 1993-94 Upper Deck Special Edition #131 Gary Payton


Completed 4/1/17 in trade from Database member Mitch, one of four sets completed in one trade!
This was a set I never really cared for, the cards always seemed to have a greasy coating, the design is not particularly memorable, and the set is short at only 225 cards. But I'm still glad to complete it.


206. 1997 Press Pass #4 Tony Battie


Completed 4/1/17 in trade from Database member Mitch, one of four sets completed in one trade!
One of the very, very college sets I've ever gone for. I think I did a box of this when it was new- I don't remember for sure, and that seems unlikely, but I may have gotten it as a gift- all I know is that I have been 1 card short on the set since it was new. Finally, after 20 years, I've completed it.


207. 1995 Press Pass Optima XL #60 Checklist


Completed 4/26/2017. Got a huge box of NASCAR cards from a friend and completed a bunch of sets. I only had one from this set before that day.


208. 1996 Press Pass #111 Jeff Gordon / Johnny Benson


Completed 4/26/2017. Got a huge box of NASCAR cards from a friend and completed a bunch of sets. I only needed about 20 to finish this one.


209. 1996 Maxx #98 On The Comeback Trail


Completed 4/26/2017. Got a huge box of NASCAR cards from a friend and completed a bunch of sets. Maxx was my favorite brand and this was the last actual Maxx set. (labeled as Series 1, but went of buisness before Series 2 was issued).


210. 1996 Finish Line #100 Dale Jarrett


Completed 4/26/2017. Got a huge box of NASCAR cards from a friend and completed a bunch of sets.

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

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 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!
