August 9, 2020 bump for 2000 Fleer Focus 2000 Masterpiece Manias #d to 300 and Portraits #d 1-999 of 3999
 
Congrats on completing the set! I thought you'd finished one earlier.

Thanks but I actually have 8 completed 250 card Fleer Focus 2000 Masterpiece Mania sets. I also have four other partials with 12, 40 and 74 and 125 cards to go that I passively pick up cheap Manias for if I can find. I would end up with so many dupes hoarding them for one set that by the time I finished one mania set #d to 300 I would be 30-40 short of another and etc etc etc. Kept chipping away by buying them cheap for a buck each or less. Will most likely stop the crazed mania set building once the one with 12 to go it is done....lol but Ive said that before. Id like to finish off the last two 275 card regular sets by finding a few more Portraits of the Prospect cards of Hutchins(2), Quinn(2) Petrick and Dotel

8!!! In the words of Harry Carey..."Holy cow!"

Are you aware of anyone else besides us who's completed one?

We may be the only two who completed the Mania set as far as I know. I found a guy who sold me about 3/4 of one set cheap last year who had given up on it. I dont recall trading with anyone else who was working on the Masterpiece Mania set. Had I not been able to go through the back door on ebay 15 years ago to trade large lots of dupes with other bidders on 1998 TEK cards none of the three or possibly four of us who completed all 8100 cards (all 90 patterns of al 90 players) I dont think any would have finished their 8100 Master set. Now there are guys still trying to complete their favorite player 90 card sets 20+ years later. Seems like most collectors these days just bust packs and boxes looking for inserts or buy up everything from Target and Walmart trying to hype and then resell on Facebook for a quick buck. The shelves here in NW Houston seem to always be wiped out of baseball cards these days.
