Still chugging along slowly....

As my lack of recent posting suggests, there has been little to update in recent times.

Fortunately some unexpected packages did make there way here, allowing for a small update.

First off, thanks to Father Pat for an envelope containing a hit to my 1975 Topps set as well as 6 hits to my growing 1968 Topps set.

The other envelope came courtesy of Ron Perry, who responded to a package of mine with 5 hits to my 1961 Topps set.

These packages combined to move both 60's sets mentioned over the 20% completion mark, which is always a nice thing. So 12 hits in total for this update, which brings my current totals to the following:

Cards in my Collection: 4,701
Total Cards needed: 17,936
Cards remaining to achieve goal: 13,235
Percentage Complete: 26.20%

Just over 4700 cards now. Progress is a little slow but I'd expect it to pick up a little over the summer once I have the time and resources to make some runs at some 70's sets. I'm still pretty confident I can shoot over 5000 for this year and maybe complete a set, time will tell.
