I finished my Cognac set today!

[Applegate]

Today I got the last card I needed for my 2011 Topps Cognac Anniversary (series 1 & 2)thanks to tribefan. He sent me the #656 Raul Ibanez. I could not have done this without the "Benchies". If I was to guess I would say I got 80 to 90% of this set from members here at The Bench. I want to say thanks to everyone that traded with me to help me finish this set. Way too many to mention individually.
Now on to the Update Diamond Anniversay and Cognac sets. I don't need very many to complete them.

Thanks to everyone you are truly the greatest traders anywhere.

Gary
