What Basketball Set have you Been Trying to Complete?
 

I have been working on the 1992 Classic 4 Sport Autograph set and need 8 more cards to go, the shaq /150 , Jeter etc... If you have any I am interested.

I also completed my 86 fleer set, figured get it done now before all commons keep spiking... Only needed world b free and Isiah thomas

Anyone else been set building?

Impeccable victory signatures set, one and one timeless moments

2015-16 Preferred Statline Memorabilia Prime set for me. 6 more to go, at this rate it'll probably take me like two more years

I'm nearing the home stretch of finishing the base Cracked Ice set from 2017-18 Contenders, and the Optic Contenders Preview set that was found in 18-19 Contenders. [emoji848] Didn't realize I was such a Contenenders fanbois.

Some of the Galactic sets on these boards are just ridiculous. That's the one I wish I really had. #galacticboyz4life

I absolutely love those! I remember you sharing some of them a while back, and me drooling.

I just finished the complete base set of 2012 Prizm basketball thanks to Blowout!

Now, I’m back to trying to finish my 2008-09 Topps Chrome base set. Have all the big cards (Lebron, Kobe, Westbrook RC ) Just trying to pick up a few more RCs, and I will be finished.

Nothing big, but the 2019-20 Optic Splash Silver Holo set. It’s just a cool-looking set. The checklist is solid, although for a shooter-themed set, I have no idea why Giannis is in it.

1993 Finest Refractor set. I currently only have 1 but would like to complete the set in a PSA 9 some day

17-18 Essentials Kings of the Court, Swish Kings, and Franchise Foundations here

1997-98 Metal Universe. I have most of the major cards, just missing like 26. I thought they were mostly commons, but I'm missing a few base vets like Pippen, Barkley Malone, etc.

I've also been on a kick buying up some of the Hoops Premium Silver Scope cards. They seem fairly hard to come by based on the number of single base & prizm variation lots I've seen people selling. Over time I'm hoping to complete the base set, not even at 10% of the base set yet.

That's the spirit. Reminds me of Deadshot's 1972 Topps auto search, that he completed in 2020.

Good luck, and I hope the journey is fulfilling.

I was slowly going for the 86-87 Fleer set, but with the way prices have spiked I think I might abandon that and go after just the Sticker set as I have Jordan already.

Recently completed the 96-97 Autographics set which was fun to put together.

These are all awesome sets.

Haha thanks! Definitely loved the set from the moment I first saw it. Unfortunately, I'm still missing some big ones, namely Dirk, Duncan, and LeBron. Two LeBrons have been on eBay for at least 6-9 months and the sellers are just holding so steadfast to their price, and that overpay ain't happening with 6 left to go!

I felt that Panini's checklist selection for insert sets wasn't great last year. It felt like they just wanted to stuff LeBron, Giannis, and Luka into every insert, which makes sense but kind of lowers the allure of pulling one those guys, in my opinion.

Regardless, great set choice. I thought Splash was one of the more underrated Optic sets last year.

16-17 Studio From Downtown. Missing Kobe, KAT, Wiggins, Booker, and Kyrie. I have 8 of my 15 in PSA 10, the other 7 raw.

And seeing the Kobe PSA 10 at $6,100 on a PWCC auction... I’m throwing in the towel and keeping the Curry. I’m sure it’s heavily shilled, but it will still have an effect on prices moving forward. Was hoping to grab it with a bid around $2,500 as I’m fairly sure none have sold for above that (LBJ included)... until now.

I've completed / I am working on:

2015-16 Revolution Galactic (73/100)
2016-17 Revolution Galactic (92/100)
2017-18 Revolution Galactic (100/100)
2018-19 Revolution Galactic (100/100)

2012-13 Contenders Hall of Fame Contenders (8/25)
2012-13 Innovation Pride of the NBA (6/10)
2013-14 Innovation Juggernauts (15/27)
2013-14 Panini Favorites (10/15)
2016-17 Aficionado Innovators (6/10)
2016-17 Court Kings Maestros (29/50)
2016-17 Studio Sketch (27/100)
2017-18 Court Kings Dieci Migliore (7/10)
2017-18 Essentials Platinum (44/200)
2017-18 Status Aspirations (34/100)

Innovation, both years.

17-18 Essentials is honestly my favorite Panini set. The red base look great for Clippers cards. Platinum 1/1s look awesome. Photography is killer and the base remind me of Flair Showcase. Most of the inserts are sweet too, especially those 3 I mentioned (and Rock the Rim). The only negative of the set for me is Essential Rookies & Essential Stars are pretty meh inserts.

Working on:
[B]2018-19 Panini Prizm Basketball SILVER set[/B] (down to 10 commons!)
[B]2019-20 Panini Prizm Basketball SILVER set[/B] (prob 50 away, incl silver RCs like RJ and White)

Completed two regular sets of 2018-19 Panini Prizm Basketball and four regular sets of 2019-20 Panini Prizm Basketball. Amazing how much these sets (esp 2018-19) are going for.

Yeah I hear you I am trying to do the same with the 89 sticker set

I have an Isiah 86 if you need it

PM me

2019-20 Panini Elite "Red parallel" set - I need 45 more cards (out of 150).

It's coming along slowly but surely. I bump my thread for it in BST section, but I never get any responses. In fact, I'll bump it now to see if anyone can help ;)

I might have some Reds ... I'll look tonight and let you know if I do.

2017-18 Essentials, 2017-18 Revolution and 2016-17 Studio are top to bottom (base, inserts, parallels, etc.) the three best Panini has made IMO. Panini had a really good run of designs from 2012-2018.

2014-15 Select On Hallowed Ground tie-dye set. These only pop up every so often & there are some players I've yet to see for sale. I'm currently only at 4 cards of 15.

Finished the 07-08 Ultimate, 07-08 Chronology and 09-10 Exquisite [mix of regular base and gold/50s]

And most importantly the 07-08 UD Black dual patch autos subset [to /10 and /5 mixed]

That might be Panini's best use of tie-dye. Great looking cards. English is available on COMC at a decent price if you need it.
