So Close!

A list of sets that are close to completion, along with the cards I need.

Base Sets


According to the TCDB, these sets are over 75% complete with less than 100 cards remaining. I'd eventually like to complete all of them, but I'm not in a rush.

1988 Leaf (97.7% complete)

Ages ago, I bought a case at a card show, and almost completed the set just from that.


Missing (6)
#16 Dwight Evans (DK)
#22 Glenn Hubbard (DK)
#135 Lenny Dykstra
#165 Ken Griffey
#172 Eddie Murray
#200 Gary Gaetti

2016 Topps Archives (92.3% complete)

I'm pretty much resigned to never completing this one. I have no desire at all to chase after the 10 short prints required. I may just have to be content with a set short of short prints.


Missing (20)
#1 Albert Pujols
#30 Manny Machado
#83 Satchel Paige
#95 Jim Bunning
#129 Mike Trout
#149 Brian Dozier
#150 Kris Bryant
#201 Jackie Robinson
#204 Miguel Cabrera
#300 Sandy Koufax
#301 Kenta Maeda (RC, SP)
#302 Randy Jones (SP)
#303 Tom Gordon (SP)
#304 Al Kaline (SP)
#305 Steve Garvey (SP)
#306 Tito Francona (SP)
#307 Phil Nevin (SP)
#308 Charlie Hayes (SP)
#309 Kris Benson (SP)
#310 Sandy Koufax (SP)

Smaller Sets


For smaller sets and inserts, I've set the prerequisite to at least 50% complete and a dozen cards or less needed. I'm also trying to limit these to sets that I would genuinely like to complete.
 

1990 Topps Hills Hit Men (66.7% complete)



Missing (11):
#1 Eric Davis
#9 Danny Tartabull
#11 Kent Hrbek
#14 Fred Lynn
#15 Andre Dawson
#21 Dave Parker
#24 Jesse Barfield
#26 Alvin Davis
#31 Andres Galarraga
#32 Cal Ripken Jr.
#33 Howard Johnson

1996 Fleer Boston Red Sox (95.0% complete)

 

Missing (1):
#2 Jose Canseco

1996 Fleer Chicago White Sox (80.0% complete)

Even though this set fits the requirements of the page, it's not one I'm really chasing. Somewhere in my youth I received 2 packs of the White Sox team set, and those two packs were enough to get me most of the small 20 card set.
 


Missing (4):
#3 Jason Bere
#5 Alex Fernandez
#7 Roberto Hernandez
#9 Ron Karkovice

2011 Topps Boston Red Sox (94.44% complete)

I picked up a box of Red Sox cards off of eBay, and it included almost a complete 2011 Red Sox team set. Just this lone card, the last one in the set, was missing.
