You Complete Me: day 1

I've mentioned a couple times now that I made a bunch of purchases in the last week, including buys from COMC, SportLots, eBay and Blowout.  What can I say?  I have more money to spend on useful stuff when I'm not throwing it away on boxes.

Part of the COMC order, as well as the cards I grabbed on eBay and Blowout, were things for my PC, but the rest of the COMC purchase as well as all of the SportLots haul put a nice dent in my baseball and football set wantlists.  The COMC order only shipped today, so you won't start seeing posts about that for a few more days.

Fortunately, parts of the SportLots order started arriving today, prompting me to create this new feature:  You Complete Me.  I'll let you know know what arrived, when it showed up and how exactly it contributes toward my sets.  You'll also see more scans of complete sets in the future thanks to all this work.

Here's today's haul on day 1 of You Complete Me:

Envelope #1 (SportLots):  This one was a PWE that contained a single card:  Jose Canseco's 2001 Donruss Rookie Reprint #RR11.  The card is a reprint of his 1986 Donruss RC and is serial #d 0247/1986.  I won't be scanning it yet because I'm nearing completing the set, but hopefully you'll see these before long.  They're a set I've always wanted to complete, so I put a ton of effort into that during my ordering process over the weekend.

Envelope #2 (SportLots):  

Here's another one I was pretty excited about--I found a single seller that had almost all of the 2003 Topps Total I needed.  I'll spoil the surprise by revealing that I did get the rest from another guy, and those should arrive before long.  This is the second consecutive year of the 990 card behemoth that I'm working on, and I'm proud that I'll have it completed shortly.  This is one of the few very large sets that I'll be putting up for the blog (in pieces, of course) because I don't think any blog that I read has done it before.
This package also included one of the three 1999 Topps Nolan Ryan reprints I needed.  Again, I'm not scanning that until I get the others, but those will be in the COMC arriving shortly.

Envelope #3 (Sportlots):  

This last one today was fairly simple, but it was actually a pretty big deal for my football wantlists:  every single card I needed for all five of my 2010 SAGE Hit sets.  To clarify, I needed several to complete a single 1-100 set, (both Low and High series) then a bunch more to complete my other for Low Series sets.  In the case of the Low Series, I only needed the cards you see in the first scan--the Program cards that highlight several of college football history's most storied teams.  If you don't see Michigan up there, it's because I already had enough of those; to answer your second question:  yes, it's difficult scanning those cards representing those teams, literally none of whom I like.  Also, I needed multiples of each, due to their relative short-printing, but fortunately one year later their prices have come back down to earth.
The second group, as I said, completes my lone High Series set.  That one won't be available for trade, but eventually I'll make the four Low Series sets up-for-grabs in case anyone is interested.
