A Completed Team Set

When I got back into collecting cards in the early 2000s I bought a Red Sox Team set checklist on eBay. It consisted of all the Bowman and Topps team sets up through 2005. For each year there was an fill size checklist punched for a binder and there were mini checklists for a binder.  I pitched that whole binder of checklists years and years ago. The mini checklists I have mostly got rid of as I finished team sets.  There are a few of the minis that are still around though because they were in an empty slot of my binder. When I eliminated my binders a while back I got rid of the rest but for some reason not this one. 

I finally got that last 1953 Bowman Black and White. 


Jim Piersal eluded me for long enough and I finely got one to complete my team set. 

I'm going to post the whole team set but it's not a pretty of a picture as everyone else's would be because my team set is top loaded and bagged and I'm not taking them out just for a picture. 


I finished of the color set long ago. So long ago that I can't remember who the last card was. 


When I finished the color set I probably only had three of the black and white and it's taken years to track them all down. When I say years to track down that means years to track then down paying what I'm willing to pay for them.  I finally got the Piersal for $11.


And now:
