It's Done

 I finally finished a set project decades in the making. 

After a couple Sportlots purchases and a PWE trade that took more than a month to complete, I now have every base* card in every Upper Deck hockey set from 1990-91 to 2025-26. 

*this does not include Young Guns or other short-printed cards. 

There are about a dozen cards with corner dings that I might try to replace/upgrade through TCDB trades, and I have not decided if I want to add 2025-26 Upper Deck Extended Series to this project. I could buy blasters right now at Barnes & Noble but I'd prefer to just buy the full base set for the same price (or less) 

That decision might come down to whether or not I can fit them in my rows of 800-ct boxes. 

I don't consider having this 200-card extension neccessary at the moment. Perhaps I'll reconsider soon. 

But for now, it's done. All 35 Upper Deck hockey sets are complete.

Oh, and I completed another set recently. 

The last card arrived in the mail yesterday. 

It had to go through eBay's authentication program (it didn't have to, but...) hence the sealed sleeve. I might break the seal on it. I've kept a couple other graded cards sealed with that crud - but this one's special.
 

Exactly nine years and eleven months after officially starting the set build... it's done. 

I'll have more posts about this once I complete my stats spreadsheet and scan a few more singles from this 70 year old set. 

Now I can focus on some much newer and cheaper projects...

Thanks for reading!
