Hi everyone, I'm Bob
I collect cards as a hobby, as a "partner" with my son, Zach ["bdrr"] veteran here.
I trade only , no selling.
He's the serious collector with a great HOF auto collection in Basketball, Baseball & Football.
I'm just his pathetic sidekick / wingman.
About once a year I decide to do a parallel set or insert set. I never seem to complete them. there is no logic to the set I will choose to build. Usually baseball, but a couple of football.
Typically I wait until the set is out a year, and everyone else has moved on.

I also collect Shawn Green gu cards. I have over 200 different.

My first parallel set was baseball, 1995 Topps Cyberstats Black backs. I did finish that one by buying somebody elses complete set.

Since then I've worked on some of these baseball parallel / insert sets:
1997 Gallery Peter Max [insert]
1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified Red / Blue mixed set [/3999/1999]
1998 Pacific Paramount Gold/Copper [parallel]
1998 Pacific Paramount diecut checklists [insert]
2001 Fleer Futures black gold [parallel /499]
2001 Fleer Futures bats to the future gu bats [insert]
2001 Fleer Futures September Call ups gu [insert]
2001 Fleer Platinum RC high number short prints 500-600 [SP]
2001 Fleer Platinum - Platinum [Parallel /100]
2001 Fleer Glossy [Parallel /101]
2001 UD Gold Glove Sluggers Choice gu batting gloves [insert]
2002 Stadium Club - Stadium Slices large bat barrels [5 card insert 1 per 7,500 and # /100 approx]
2003 Topps Gallery Originals gu bats [insert]
2004 Upper Deck USA 25th anniversary team gu cards [insert /850]
2005 Donruss Prime Patches any / all gu cards
2005 Finest refractors, xfractors, master set all colors [parallel 399/299/199/99/49/250/150/25/10]
2005 Donruss Polo Grounds [insert all /#]
2008 Stadium Club Beam Team autos [insert]

and now a couple of football
2006 UD Legends autos [insert]
2007 Topps Chrome combined set of refractors, xfractors, red, blue, white, and autos [parallel]

Hello Bob,

Great to see you have joined SCF. I, like you, will start a set, but for some reason never finish. My biggest issue is finding fillers for my sets. I have tried here a couple of times, but never seem to get it finished. I have about 25 sets that are 75 percent filled. Maybe you and I should get together and combined we would have a set!

Anyway, thank you for joining and should you have any questions do not hesitate to ask!

Thanks,
Billy
