I Am/was Proud Of Putting The 2000 Contenders Football Set Together. I Did It When Brady Cooled Off The First Time And Paid Like 80 Bucks For It(booked For 150 I Think). Sold It On The Bay A Month After I Completed It(all Rookie Autos Besides Thomas Jones Who Didnt Sign. I Did Get J.r. Redmond Which Was A Sp. Also Completed All Of The Nfl Europe Autos And The Playoff Ticket Autos.) Wish I Woulda Kept It

gatorboy - I have almost completed the Topps 07-08 NBA set. Maybe we could help each other finish it out.

I need these 57-58 variations:

13,20,21,31,32,41,120,135

LMK what you are looking for in that set.

I also have some from the 77-78 stored in my attic...next chance I get to go up there, I can look and see what I have.

PM me if you are interested.

it is crazy how organized you are :) with the years and months.

the only two sets i have completed are 05-06 topps and 07-08 topps... only because i had boxes. but, i am pretty close on some of my 90's sets.

i also have 05-06 topps total and 07-08 topps extras if you need some, pm me.
