I'm still trying to fill quite a few holes on the various sparkly cards from the past couple years - if I ever finish them I may just call it a done deal and ignore the gold, black, etc.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854315904173219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-74060257141584004132013-11-01T20:09:00.138-04:002013-11-01T20:09:00.138-04:00More licenses, way more restriction on volume rela...More licenses, way more restriction on volume related to each license.

Guess it helps that my team is the Padres, but the slew of releases means that those "less desirable" ones can go unnoticed and slip through the cracks... down to me.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439278650702057885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-41470492483691398342013-11-01T19:28:19.914-04:002013-11-01T19:28:19.914-04:00I've been working on Topps flagship and Archiv...I've been working on Topps flagship and Archives this year and that's it.

I had hoped people would get sick of them so that I could finish my set - but it seems people got sick of 'em and tossed 'em or something instead of sending them my way. Topps shoots themselves in the foot in that sense because I will only collect so many sets at one time - and if that means sitting out the next X years' worth of Topps Heritage because I still need cards from 2009 and 2011, so be it.Nachos Grandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911007368272468591noreply@blogger.com
