Focal Points when amassing a Large Collection

When you own over a million cards and have large goals as far as completing sets, sometimes it's good to focus on a chunk of that collection to knock out just to make sense of everything. Today, I found that chunk.

Score...

From 1988-1998 Score produced a base set. Some had inserts, parallels, box bottom cards, box sets, etc. My goal is to finish these sets and I already have a massive head start. I did the math and figured based on my criteria (1 parallel example per series, all inserts, box sets, etc.) that there are 11,507 cards made between 1988 and 1998 that can be included for this Project. Luckily, most are easily attainable and I already own 7,525 (65%) of them. That leaves 3,982 cards to find. 

Most are probably in the card room somewhere, but the call for help will ring out at some point. 

Below is a breakdown of what is being collected. I plan to update this from time to time.

  1. I can help with some 95-98 score base if you ever want to trade for a stack of similar years cardinals

    1. Will definitely let you know once I get through the 800k or so cards I have left to sort.

  2. I have been doing this for some time, even while collecting everything else. I like to work on things that I believe are achievable. So I have priorities on OPC base sets1965-1994 (presently missing 349/13,896 or 2.51%), Studio 1991-1998, Ted Williams 1993-1994, Donruss Triple Play 1992-1994. I also look for some food issues that had runs of several years, Post, Kelloggs, Drakes, Denny's, King-B to name a few. I believe getting all the cards in these collections is achievable. Knowing that makes the chase more enjoyable. I can probably help in your search for Score cards; always happy to trade even for cards from sets that are low priority.

    1. I love those food issue sets. Also the small scale box sets from Fleer and Toys R Us. Will also let you know once I get a grasp on what I actually have here.
