Finished five sets this weekend!

[chaplain11]

I broke down and went to sportslot.com and checkoutmycards.com to get the pesky cards I needed to complete sets from my wantlist as I have been in a huge drought - specifically with the pre-2008 stuff. With the shipping and handling fees included I still spent about 65% of beckett due to some really good discounted prices on some of the high-dollar cards. Anyway, I completed the following sets and am waiting on some cards to come in to complete a few more:

2000 Greats of the Game "Retrospection"
2001 Topps "Combos"
2005 Donruss Champions
2007 UD Reprints
2008 Spectrum

They aren't uber expensive, high-end sets but I have been working on them for a few years now and it is just great to finally put them to bed

If anyone has anything from my wantlist let me know. I still have a small pocket of money to spend to finish these up.

Take care,
Dewayne

Oh the agony!!! I was inserting all of my newly aquired cards into their righful place in my collection and low-and-behold I am missing a card from the 2005 Donruss Champions set: #450 (the last card in the set), Ichiro. If anyone has it let me know what you want for it.

take care,
Dewayne

What do you mean by this one?

2000 Greats of the Game "Retrospect"
What do you mean by this one?

My apologies. I left the end of the word off. It should be 2000 Greats of the Game "Retrospection." It is a fifteen card insert set ($100). Here is an example from the set: http://www.beckett.com/images/pgitems/11532910101.jpg.

Take care,

Congrats, Dewayne. It's always nice to cross entire sets off the wantlist. Good luck with the ichiro; shouldn't be too hard to find.
