Because of this thread I was able to complete my 1999-00 E-X E-Xceptional Red set AS WELL as pick up my first blue (Duncan) and fourth green (I now have Pierce, Duncan , Odom and Pippen).

I was also contacted by a member here who had for sale a 1998-99 Skybox Premium That's Jam ROn Mercer. I was able to scoop that up and add it to my set chase as well!!

Thank You to the sellers and thank you to AbraCalabro for creating the thread which allowed me to put to bed a set chase that took me over a year.

lol I had just picked it up for you on Beckett through a trade. Nice gesture by AbraCalabro.

[CubKings]

I actually got a trade made from my lone post in this thread haha

So this thread does seem like a success so far.

Really happy you guys found some help from this thread, that's what it's all about. It's awesome that people are building and finishing sets, as always, pictures of your finished sets are much appreciated! So post them up if you can!

I have a big order with sportlots and I managed to finish up the 95/96 Flair base set as well as making additions to other in progress sets. Will keep you guys posted. I may have to do yet another order later this week!

I just got into it myself very recently. It's a bit clumsy/confusing at first, but once you figure things out it's a real life saver for your budget. Looking forward to the scans!

[Noddy]

I'm currently working on the following set - 12-13 Panini Preferred Silhouettes -

[buckunteer]

holy crap that pic of all of those together is stunning!

[fullmetal]

Awesome work Noddy!

[AbraCalabro]

WOW!

How many cards are you missing, Noddy?

[buckunteer]

and yeah sportslots is a bit analog, if you will, but I found a lowly $6 Mitch jersey card from 00-01 that I have NEVER seen come up ANYWHERE in 2 years. Craziness.

[AbraCalabro]

^ Yup, you will find some rare cards on there. I found a hyper rare Sergei Bazarevich...not as big as a player / All Star like Mitch Richmond, but still an awesome find.

[Miasma]

Got a bunch of needs thanks to myusasets and maconithappen. Thanks guys.

[myusasets]

glad everybodies finding cards. thanks for the trades. may have to buy somemore commons and get my sets finished. did buy a few and an upgrade for my 94-95 topps embossed set i hate it when you pull out a set to enjoy again , and see a card that has a small flaw you never noticed before. so what are going to do buy an upgrade.

[Jpayne7787]

[Wings]

[myusasets]

more set collectors?

[buckunteer]

ok, I've officially decided to go after a new set: 98-99 chrome season's best refractors.

I keep picking them up in trades just for the heck of it and I love the design. They're pretty cheap too, so why not?

I have 6 of the 29 currently, but I'd like to pick up a second mitch richmond so I really need 24 of the 29. Needs are below, would prefer to trade for these low-end needs!]

1998-99 Topps Chrome Season's Best Refractors NEED list:

#SB1 Rod Strickland
#SB3 Tim Hardaway
#SB4 Stephon Marbury
#SB5 Sam Cassell
#SB7 Mitch Richmond (There is no #SB6, no idea why)
#SB10 Isaiah Rider
#SB11 Grant Hill
#SB12 Kevin Garnett
#SB13 Shareef Abdur-Rahim
#SB14 Glenn Robinson
#SB15 Michael Finley
#SB16 Karl Malone
#SB18 Antoine Walker
#SB19 Chris Webber
#SB20 Vin Baker
#SB21 Shaquille O'neal
#SB22 David Robinson
#SB23 Alonzo Mourning
#SB24 Dikembe Mutombo
#SB26 Tim Duncan (he appears twice, I have the other one)
#SB27 Keith Van Horn
#SB28 Zydrunas Ilgauskas
#SB29 Brevin Knight
#SB30 Bobby Jackson

[AbraCalabro]

So as some of you may know I am closing in on the Emotion master set (A small handful of N-Tense insert cards remain) and I have some oddball cards from that product coming in that I've never seen before previously. They might be test samples, I'm not sure on their history, but I will post them up in here when they arrive. I figured I might as well add them since I have the promo card and the SkyMotion which is also on the way

You guys will like them, they're stunning!

[Noddy]

Thanks everyone.

Here is a updated picture (sorry it's not the best quality). I'm currently at 70 of 100. I have a couple of redemptions pending but won't count them until they are in hand.

I just sold my Tim Duncan takeit2.net for $35.
for some reason the takeit2.net cards are hot (#ed to 1000) not sure why though.

[buckunteer]

those takeit2.net cards are SWEET, I want an MJ desperately but can't afford it

Incidentally I'm bumping this thread because I remember a couple more OLD set projects that I'm ONE CARD short of completing...someone help me out!
