You Complete Me is back again...again, Part 4

Just one YCM envelope today, but as you'll see shortly, it was a doozy!

Envelope #1 (SportLots):

Just a pair of '02 Totals, which is considered a break from those around here.  A sextet of '09 Topps makes for a decent change-of-pace, including a still-weird Maddux Dodgers card and Birther/idiot Luke Scott, and those leave me needing just a pair!  Today's trio of '10 BowChro prospects is Ranger Tommy Mendonca, Yankee Slade Heathcott, and Braves future star Julio Teheran; a trio of cards, though not from SportLots, will sew up that set.  Today's final baseball offering is a 2012 Topps Archives of Mike Schmidt, and on that HOF note I can complete my first set in this series of posts!  Thanks again to all of you who helped me complete the vast majority of that set through trades, I appreciate it as always.

Moving on to football, this package added four more cards to my 2006 Bowman tally, shorting me just a base of Aaron Rodgers that I didn't pick up on SportLots due to undesirable pricing.  Those four are joined by six more from 2008 Topps (home of my constantly-mentioned favorite draft class of all time), including the oft-overrated Tony Romo and another pair of RCs from a New York Team.  Hmmm, wait a minute, according to my wantlist, I needed six cards from 2008 Topps...hey, cool!  That set's complete now!

This definitely had to have been my most productive package, which included cards from all six sets I decided to attack, and completed two of them thanks to my completely arbitrary order of posting.  One SportLots package remains, along with COMC set to swoop in and save the day soon after!

You Complete Me is back again...again, Part 3

It's been a few days since I last posted, but I'm back with two more SportLots packages for you this evening, putting a dent in a few more of my sets:

Envelope #1 (SportLots):

First of all, sorry that there's even more 2002 Topps Total today, which is hard to avoid since they were part of just about every one of my packages, but we're getting there!  I didn't plan on the pair in this package being Rockies, that's just how it worked out.  The '09 Topps pair of Lincecum and Fowler (another Rockie!) almost put that list on life support.  The pair of unscannable 2010 BowChros today is Met Eric Niesen and Tigers pitching prospect Adam Wilk.  From '08 Topps football the VY is a timely card as he just won the Green Bay backup QB job with a very nice pre-season so far.  Finally, 2012 Topps Archives makes its debut in these posts with this quartet.  I wonder if Vance Worley signed off on that inset photo?  Anyway, I'm now down to just ONE card needed from that set!

Envelope #2 (SportLots):

Blah, it's four more cards from 2002 Topps Total.  With their addition (and the ones above) I'm down to 14 cards needed, so like I said, we're getting there!

You Complete Me is back again...again, Part 2

Just one package today, but I figured I'd at least give everyone a break from the 2002 Topps Total stuff for at least a day!

Envelope #1 (SportLots):

We'll start things off with a pair from 2009 Topps baseball.  As I said yesterday, I started off needing 13 cards from that set, and I showed off just one yesterday.  Today you get a Classic Combos subset cards featuring Fat Elvis/Big Puma Lance Berkman along with Carlos Lee, plus a manager card--former Oakland skipper Bob Geren.

Next up is another card from 2010 Bowman Chrome baseball, this one of David Lough, a 2007 Royals 11th-rounder who's actually having a pretty solid season in Kansas City.  Combined with yesterday's trio I'm down to just eight needed.

I only showed off one football pickup yesterday, a Haloti Ngata RC from 2006 Bowman.  Four more players from that set, all RCs as well, join him today:  Bears return ace Devin Hester, Detroit native and former Badger Jonathan Orr, 2006 NFL Defensive ROY DeMeco Ryans, and current CFLer Dee Webb.  I can now cut that list down to just five needs.

Finally, I can apply some cards to a set I hadn't covered yet, 2008 Topps football.  I began the day needing 10 from this set, which I began building with a hobby box a few years ago (I believe I was shorted a hit!).  This pair of QBs puts a nice 20% dent into that project, including a RC of Louisville star and NFL washout Brian Brohm.

That's a solid day's work as things are starting to come together.  Stay tuned for more tomorrow, or whenever I get around to it!
