It is finally complete!!!

[JGerutfan9]

I started the 2003 Diamond Kings set when I first started on The Bench back in 2003. Well 9 years later I finally finished it up w/ SP's when I found that last one I needed on eBay.

Paid full book delivered for it but I've never seen another one before.

Congrats, Eric! I know how great it feels to put a set to bed almost a decade after starting.....

Tim,

I know, I had to stare at the auction to make sure it was the base card. I've seen the framed versions and the autographed recollection auto but never just the base card. I'm thinking about writing to Beckett to see if there are any other completed sets out there featuring all 200 cards.

I'm curious...... I thought the complete set was 176 cards. #'s 177-200 aren't listed in my scd big book and I opened a couple hobby boxes back in 03 and never saw anything over 176. What's the deal ?
