Have you ever looked at a set you were working on, and thought: "Enough wasting time, this set is getting completed now!" ? I reached that point with the 1981 Topps set. Those last dozen cards have been missing for awhile now. It was time to put this baby to bed. I decided to give Sportlots a try. I've looked at the web site before, but never bought anything until now. It seemed a little cumbersome when it came to finding what you needed without having to check out a bunch of different sellers. In the end, I was able to find most of what I needed from one seller:
"Most" being the key word. This seller had 11 of the 12 I needed, and I had no choice but to find a second seller to complete this set.
Overall it wasn't too bad. This seller was super quick with shipping and I had these in hand within a few days. Outside of the dreaded scotch tape, they were well protected/packaged too.
Stay tune for Part 2 - where the final card of the set is revealed!
Good finds there. Robin Yount is always fun.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the completion.
ReplyDeleteI've gotten to the point where I just need to complete a set a few times... and I used Sportslots too.
ReplyDeleteI tried to finish a set on Sportlots.. but as you'll see in a future post, it didn't go as planned.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your final '81.
This is an underrated set. I really like the design. Congratulations on completing it! (Also, thanks for reminding me to try sportlots.)
ReplyDeleteIt's about time! :)
