1980 A's set done.

[ckinney]

Yesterday I received my last card to finish my 1980 A's team set. Finishing this year was pretty cool to me for a couple reasons, first this is the year I was born and second the final card was the Rickey Henderson rookie. This is also the first year I have finished. Going to now try to finish 1988 - the year I started collecting cards as a kid. Trade thread here - http://www.thebenchtrading.com/thebench/showthread.php?t=317782

Here are the stats for 1980:

133 Cards Total
109 Recognized by Beckett
12 Different Sets/Subsets
4 Cards are Rookies
2 Cards are Serial Numbered
I have 5 Cards Autographed TTM/IP

Awesome, congrats on getting that set done!!

Thanks man, it feels good to have one year done... I figure if I focus on finishing years one by one I have a better chance at hitting my goal of 20% of the cards by the end of the year.

Thanks Ben.

For my next year I will focus on, I think I will do 1988 the first year I started to collect cards. Have just over 50% right now.
