Even more 2008 Topps Updates and Highlights

Bought another blaster for the 2008 Topps Updates and Highlights and I gotta say I'm not a big fan. The cards are just boring. Which is really funny because unlike most of you I liked the 2008 Topps set. Between the 2 blasters I bought I only got 5 doubles so thats a good thing. Just thought I would take the time to voice my displeasure with the set. However at this point i have a decent amount of the set and I gotta finish it now. So here's a want list for the remainder of the cards I need.

11, 27, 52, 62, 73, 114, 125, 126, 129, 160, 180, 216, 233, 237, 240, 275, 282, 289, 294, 306, 312, 324

**UPDATE**

Steve over at White Sox Cards just sent me 74 cards towards this set. I have to send a HUGE thank you out to him for the help. I have updated the above list to reflect the remaining cards needed for this set. He also sent me a ton of other cards for other sets which I will repost here as well. I will put up a post on his entire package once I finish posting the updated want lists.

**Update**

Big thanks go out to Scott over at Hand Collated. Just got a stack towards this set. List has been updated

**Update**

I'm reposting this again due to a nice chunk I got from fellow Mets fan Mark over at Stats on the Back and also some that I got for Christmas. I'm so close now I can almost taste it. Thank you very much Mark for your help.

2008 Goudey Want List

Alright with the blaster challenge finished I will now post a want list for this set. I planned on posting it yesterday but Steve over at The Easy Life was nice enough to share some of his doubles with me today so I decided to wait. I'm just working on the base set here. Sure it would be nice to have the whole set but there are WAY to many sp's in this set. I do have a few doubles left over for trade, not many but a few and I will keep my eyes peeled for whoever needs them. My list is as follows:

4, 11, 18, 19, 28, 31, 43, 58, 60, 61, 74, 102, 115, 116, 119, 121, 122, 126, 135, 138, 140, 142, 144, 152, 162, 163, 165, 171, 173, 186, 191, 200, 201, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 209, 210, 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229, 230

Any help will be appreciated. I have a couple packages set to go out after the holiday and will be checking other want lists over it.

**Update**

Just got 13 cards from, yup you guessed it Steve over at White Sox Cards. This will be the last repost I promise!!! Thanks again Steve

**Update**

Just received four more cards towards this set from Greg over at Night Owl. I will make a full post on this package as well as Steve's on Wednesday. Thanks Greg

2008 Topps Heritage

I love this set. Back when I first started collecting we had nothing like this. That makes me sound old. Anyway, I like the old time look and the reflector and refractor cards are great. Unfortunately there are so many SP's it drives me insane. Here is a list of what I still need for the following set:

Green Back:

5, 11, 13, 14, 19, 23, 26, 32, 35, 42, 45, 57, 60, 64, 65, 67, 69, 78, 81, 82, 83, 84, 92, 116, 122, 129, 155, 159, 173, 186, 187, 195, 211, 231, 239, 256, 263, 267, 277, 279, 281, 283, 285, 297, 298, 301, 315, 321, 324, 330, 332, 334, 337, 347, 381, 415, 426, 427, 429, 430, 431, 433, 436, 441, 443, 444, 447, 449, 451, 452, 453, 454, 455, 456, 459, 461, 462, 463, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 472, 475, 477, 479, 480, 482, 483, 484, 486, 488, 489, 490, 491, 492, 493, 495, 496, 497, 498, 499, 500

Black Back:

13, 14, 22, 23, 28, 35, 52, 62, 65, 82, 83, 90, 122, 135, 176, 177, 186, 196, 263, 267, 291, 325, 334, 335, 338, 371,

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a bunch of doubles as well as some refractors/reflectors/autographs i've got from this set I'd be will to trade. Please let me know. Thank you

**Update**

Got 19 cards yesterday towards this set from Steve over at White Sox Cards. Once again thank you and I will create a separate post on the whole package in the next couple days once I get a chance to do some scanning. For now I have updated my list above

1993 Studio

Just like the 1991 Studio I posted a couple days ago I also got what I have from this set out of a lot of cards. I figure I put up the 91 want list so I may as well through up a 93 want list as well. This set looks nicer than the 91's. Maybe its the phony autographs on them but they just look nice. Please help with this one as well. Thanks all

4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 15, 22, 25, 27, 31, 39, 40, 41, 47, 48, 52, 57, 60, 61, 65, 70, 71, 78, 80, 84, 87, 89, 90, 93, 95, 96, 97, 102, 103, 105, 109, 110, 118, 121, 122, 124, 127, 132, 134, 139, 140, 141, 145, 146, 147, 151, 152, 154, 155, 156, 157, 159, 160, 168, 173, 174, 177, 178, 182, 184, 186, 193, 196, 197, 201, 206, 207, 210, 213, 214, 215, 217, 218,

As you can see I am much closer on this one than the 1991. I'd like to finish off both. Please help if you can.

**Update**

Steve over at The Easy Life was able to help me out with some of this set. I got 7 more cards from him towards it. Thanks buddy. I've updated the above list.

1991 Studio

This was another set that got started out of a big lot box. I like the concept of these cards. They aren't the best looking things but I like that they are just normal head shots of the players. Something different at a time when all cards were pretty much the same. So my challenge to you, help me finish this one off. Dig through those doubles you have hiding away and see what you can find. Remaining cards needed:

3, 11, 12, 13, 15, 21, 25, 30, 31, 32, 35, 40, 41, 43, 45, 51, 54, 61, 63, 71, 72, 75, 76, 81, 83, 84, 85, 92, 94, 95, 99, 101, 102, 103, 108, 109, 114, 115, 118, 121, 123, 127, 128, 131, 132, 135, 136, 143, 146, 150, 152, 154, 155, 160, 161, 165, 172, 173, 175, 179, 182, 184, 185, 188, 191, 192, 195, 197, 202, 204, 205, 206, 212, 213, 215, 220, 222, 223, 224, 229, 231, 233, 235, 239, 244, 251, 254, 255, 257, 262, 264

As you can tell I am missing a good chunk of this set. But I like it and I want to collect the whole thing. I don't have any doubles for it but I have plenty of other stuff for trade. Please help me work to finish this one off. Thank you

**Update**

Big thank you goes out to My Buddy Steve over at The Easy Life. He just gave me a HUGE chunk toward this set. The above list has been updated. Appreciate it Steve thanks again

1983 Topps

The bulk of what I have so far towards this set is thanks to a 5000 card lot I bought at the local card shop. I had a couple strays from this set but now I have a good chunk so I have to finish it. Thats where you all come in. Please help me put another check mark in the complete set column. Cards I still need:

2, 10, 15, 20, 30, 35, 36, 40, 41, 42, 49, 55, 60, 61, 63, 65, 70, 71, 80, 82, 83, 100, 101, 103, 105, 112, 118, 121, 123, 126, 127, 129, 137, 140, 145, 146, 150, 155, 156, 163, 168, 177, 191, 198, 203, 216, 217, 220, 229, 230, 240, 241, 249, 250, 255, 256, 257, 258, 270, 273, 285, 289, 300, 305, 306, 307, 312, 313, 322, 325, 332, 338, 346, 350, 358, 360, 361, 364, 367, 368, 370, 372, 375, 383, 386, 388, 389, 390, 391, 393, 397, 398, 399, 401, 406, 407, 410, 417, 420, 425, 428, 437, 459, 463, 471, 472, 474, 482, 491, 498, 500, 501, 505, 507, 508, 520, 525, 527, 534, 535, 536, 544, 555, 570, 572, 576, 578, 579, 580, 585, 589, 593, 600, 602, 603, 608, 610, 612, 615, 619, 626, 630, 642, 645, 652, 660, 661, 665, 685, 688, 693, 697, 700, 710, 715, 720, 721, 734, 735, 740, 743, 748, 765, 766, 769, 770, 782, 787, 792

As usual any help will be greatly appreciated and I will certainly get something back to you for it.

1989 Fleer

Going back to the 80's for this one. This is another set I started back when I was a kid and of course is not finished. Just like all my other sets. Anyway thought I'd through a list up for some help, here goes

90, 407, 468

**Update**

Got a great stack of cards here from Paul over at Paul's Random Stuff. If you have not checked out his blog you should definitely do so. Great site. And a great stack here. Thanks a lot man. I'll do a more in depth post at a later time. I would go into further detail now but I use Steve over at The Easy Life for his scanner and he's probably busy with his wife right now. Just kidding buddy. Much love, Happy Birthday!!! For now I have updated my want list. Please help me finish this one off. Thanks all!

**Update**

Just got 8 more cards towards this set from Steve over at White Sox Cards. Thanks again Steve. Gonna look for some more stuff for ya soon. See what else I got for ya. The list above has been updated.

**Update**

2 More cards towards this set. Big thanks go out to Marks at Stats on the Back.

1987 Topps

I have to send a very big THANKYOU to My Buddy Steve over at The Easy Life. We had a flood a couple years back and I lost a big chunk of this set to the flood. Steve gave me close to 400 cards to get me very close to completing this set. Here's a list of the remaining cards need to finish up this set.

200, 393, 522

Steve loves this set. Says he just likes the wood grain look. This was the first year I actually started collecting cards and I am somewhat partial to this set as well for that reason. I'm so close. Please help me finish this one off.

**Update**

Just got three more cards towards this set from Steve over at White Sox cards. I've updated the list above. Big thank you for the help. I'm so close to finishing this one off now I can taste it. Tastes like woodgrain. Mmmm Woodgrain!

**Update**

Got a bunch more cards for this set. Thank yous go out Steve and Ben. I'm soooo close. Just 9 cards to go!!!

**Update**

And then there were 3. Almost there

1986 Topps

I recently read a post at Night Owl Cards that said these cards were ugly. This is one of my favorite sets. I do have to admit I am slightly biased. This was not only the last time the Mets won the World Series but I was 6 years old at the time and these were the first baseball cards I ever saw. The funny thing is, even as a kid I never owned any. I didn't actually start collecting until 87. But these cards always held a soft spot in my heart. (Tear) Anyway, earlier this year I bought about 20, if I remember correctly, rack packs for $1 each. I got really close to the set, however I also ended up with tons of doubles and triples. I will be sending a bunch over to Night Owl but I still need a few more. Please help if you can.

3, 5, 6, 51, 53, 171, 267, 270, 300, 305, 350, 377, 389, 390, 455, 485, 506, 580, 610, 683, 790

So what do you all think? Are these cards ugly?
**Update**

Got a Christmas gift today in the form of 1 card off this list. It was Darryl Strawberry, a man with one of the most fluid swings i've ever seen. Big thanks to Mark at Stats on the Back for the help. Almost there.

Fleer 1986

Ok back to the important stuff. Cards. Thought I'd throw on another old set that I need to complete. Fleer 1986. These cards are horrible looking but 1986 was one hell of a year. Lets Go Mets!!! I bought a box of 5000 cards from a local shop and got quite a bit of this set as well as the Fleer 1986 Updates so now I gotta finish it. Once again any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's the run down:

31, 46, 75, 77, 78, 80, 96, 97, 108, 113, 145, 175, 191, 226, 238, 241, 284, 291, 297, 310, 323, 340, 341, 345, 350, 401, 408, 438, 450, 453, 465, 467, 490, 495, 499, 520, 535, 536, 566, 586, 626, 627, 628, 633, 634, 636, 637, 638, 639, 641, 649, 653

Fleer 1986 Updates

14, 15, 20, 25, 76, 105

Even Rickey Henderson looks pissed to be on this card.

**Update**

2 more cards to add to the list. Thanks go out to Mark at Stats on the Back for his help with this and many other want lists i have up. And I know theres a lot. Unfortunately I have a lot more where that came from.

Old Stuff

As I said previously I have a lot of older sets that I have that I'm trying to complete. I thought I'd start off with one of them. We'll start with 1989 Donruss since I'm fairly close to finishing this one. I don't know how many cheap boxes i've bought to get this $5 set completed but the fun of going through them is definitely worth it. Here's what I still need:

26, 96, 101, 232, 238, 245, 250, 408, 458, 590

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I have plenty for trade. Let me know what you need and I will be more than happy to help.

**Update**

I received the 2 remaining 1990 Donruss I need so that set is now complete. A big thank you goes out to Jim over at Taste Like Dirt for finishing that one off for me.

**Update**

Got a Christmas gift from Mark at Stats on the Back, 2 more cards towards the 89 Donruss set. Thanks again Mark. Lets Go Mets!!!
