I've completed a number of sets over the last couple of years and in almost every case the last cards I needed came from readers/bloggers who read the want list and generously sent them along.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948162816995695109.post-83367411861545666642011-03-08T13:58:57.327-08:002011-03-08T13:58:57.327-08:00I'm also a big set collector - and as you can ...I'm also a big set collector - and as you can see by the want list on my blog, I've got a lot of empty holes in my binder pages as well. I prefer to be patient, only resorting to eBay or the like when I'm really close to the end and a set has been off the market for a couple of years.

I've also completed three or four this year. I tend to take 6-12 months to complete a set since I'm always a year behind.<br /><br />I look to www.sportlots.com (if you can find cards from the same seller, the shipping can be cheap). I've also heard good things about www.justcommons.com (though I've yet to try it myself).<br /><br />Also, post which cards you need in huge letters on the sidebar. There are a lot of kind people out there, you never know.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426813731400850113noreply@blogger.com
