Here are a few other cards that aren't part of the superset, but cards for my PC. Pretty awesome to have some nice autographs from some gold medalists. I also love how the black and red refractors look.

Another huge mail day today with over 100 more cards. I went over 1000 total cards, but still need just under 750 more. I'm also very close to finishing over 30 athletes. I need one card for seven athletes and two cards for another 27.

[obenheimer78]

One card today, but it's a nice one. I bought it at a ridiculously low price.

Hey Paul,

How's the progress been since your last post?

A small amount now, but still waiting on my case to come in. Bought it Wednesday night, but the seller isn't shipping it until tomorrow. Kinda pathetic imo, especially since I paid $50 for shipping.

I finally was able to open a case of hobby. I'll make a separate thread in the case opening section. Out of the 49 base color cards I pulled, I needed 27 of them. My numbers are updated. I nearly have as many gold cards as I have flag cards.

It's been a while since I have posted. Completed five more athletes today, bringing my total to 10 complete.

Sexy!!! Love it, Paul!!

[obenheimer78]

Update time.

I recently crossed the 50% completion mark for my US Flag and Gold sets, and I'm very close to having the orange set at 50% completion. The pink, aqua, blue, and green sets are all very close to completion.

I picked up several black refractors and have 19 in total. I acquired another red refractor, bringing my total to 4. I also picked up the Xander Schauffele base autograph, bringing my total to 20.

Over the past few days I received two huge cards for my Super Set. I present to you the two G.O.A.T.S of Olympic swimming.

Nice pickups. The Ledecky is really short printed.

Holy Cow!

Amazing!

[obenheimer78]

Today, I received the final pink refractor I needed. I now have three sets complete, and I am nearly done with the Aqua set as well.

[obenheimer78]

Update time.

I went to the Dallas Card Show today, and to my surprise, I found two cards I needed: a green and the last Aqua card I needed to complete my set. It will still be a month or two before I have the last aqua card in hand, as it's at COMC right now, but it's nice to have that set completed on paper. I'm also four cards from a blue set and less than 15 from my green set.

I also bought a hobby box at the show and pulled an orange base I needed along with a Regan Smith base autograph I needed. I pulled a Spitz Green autograph and a Maher relic card from the box.

[obenheimer78]

Today I reached two milestones.

1. I officially completed the Aqua set, my first numbered parallel set to complete.
2. I officially went over 50 athletes complete through at least orange. Stands at 53 total.

Congrats! How are prices on these now? Are they holding or have they gone down?

Prices have dropped quite a bit on most all cards as expected. It's still fun to chase and build these sets.

That sounds about right. I know there were some people here who thought these would hold their elevated values forever, but even top tier cards have come down alot.

That's great for your master set building though!

Yes, I knew they wouldn't hold their elevated values at all. I bought an Alex Morgan red, PSA 9 for just over $100 total. Try and find a red /5 of any top star out there and I can promise you will pay way more than that.

Well done, man. I'm impressed with your efforts so far.

Thank you. I appreciate it. However, things have slowed down quite a bit since I'm nearly done with my blue and green sets. Not many cards are listed on eBay or COMC, or the ones listed are way too high. It's still a lot of fun, and I'm nearing 1600 total cards of the 1800 I need for the nine different base sets.

[obenheimer78]

I haven't updated in a long time. I'm still working on the refractor sets, but things have slowed down. I have decided not to collect the black set and have begun selling them all on eBay along with all my red refractors.

I just sold my Kevin Mather black refractor to none other than Kevin Mather himself. If anyone sees his superfractor or knows where it is, let me know. He's looking for it.
