In my first go-round with the NBA, which lasted from 1996-2006, I accomplished the goal, or so I thought, but then they started doing the $500 a pack sets, and also I missed some without knowing they existed.
I was not able to do that for NASCAR, despite having less sets issued.
I have used the listings on the Trading Card Database to determine what is missing. I will begin with the NBA. Added 4/30/2016- underlines to separate the years.

The Non-Sports fields will likely expand as I learn more about what is out there- I have almost no knowledge of the Tobacco Card era but pretty much every set I learn about would find a home in my collection. The NASCAR and NBA sections will hopefully shrink in time.
Billy, I have some Car and Driver cards from the Cadillac series(not complete) - are they of interestto you?
ReplyDeleteI sure am Les. I got a couple of packs worth when the cards were new but I am missing at least triple what I have.
DeleteBilly,
ReplyDeleteIf you can send me your address again through e-mail I will get those cards from the post going your direction. Sorry, but I'm really bad about keeping addresses. You'd think I'd be much better by now after blogging for three years, but a few have still slipped through the cracks.
