I checked on my Sportlots package and I'm pretty sure I'm not getting it until the 28th but I still have 6 more posts after today which means I won't have to stop blogging and I can finish everything from the last couple of months.
As you know, I occasionally take a set that I'm close to finishing and throw some money at the cards and try to get it complete. I've actually completed the 1985 Fleer & Topps set, as well as the 1987 Topps set doing this. I've completed all 3 of those sets since August and those are the 1st 3 that I've completed since starting collecting again.
Today is one of those posts and one of the next sets I'm trying to complete.
As you can see, I bought quite a bit of the 1981 Topps set. The bad thing about completing sets this way is that I started with the set I was closest to completing, than the 2nd closest and so on. So now that I'm working on my 4th set, the more cards that I need.
I picked up all of these on Card Barrel, 114 cards for $23.87 including shipping which equals out to just under $.21/each. It's not completed yet as they didn't have everything that I wanted or I could get them cheaper on Sportlots so it'll hopefully be completed on the 28th when I get my Sportlots package. As it stands right now, I have 694 of the 726 cards in the set.
