Let's Talk About Sets Volume 12

Let's talk about sets babyLet's talk about it with me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sets (1995)
Let's talk about sets (Summitt)
Let's talk about sets (Uh huh)
Let's talk about sets....

1991 song by Salt-N-Pepa was about a much different topic than I am turning it into. You see, I am staying on topic with cards. Not,well, what they were talking about. This newest segment about the 90's will focus on my set chases (the ones I have already used for a Origins Post or don't plan on using) and new additions to them along with updates on how far I have gotten.

It's time for us to sit down and have that discussion between your parents and you that you tried to avoid. You know, that conversation you have with them about the Flairs and the Pinnacles. Kids, it's time to Talk About Sets.

Today's sets talk is from my trade with @card_a_holic who I said caught my attention from having set needs for me.

So let's check out the sauciness today.

We are knocking down two needs for my 1995 Summit Rookie Summit set. Something about the photography on these really drew me in to wanting to collect them.

Stoney Case showing off some skills. If only he had on the field for the Cardinals.

Kyle Brady taking a leap into the NFL.

These mark cards 7 and 8 towards the set of 18. I still have a long ways to go but if I keep chipping away and having sets work more often, I can get this done.

A lot more to show off still in this trade.

Flying High Cardboard

Before I get onto the main mail day of today's post, wanted to show off a steal I got for my 1995 Summit Rookie Summit set. Snagged this for .99 and .50 shipping. Anything to add to this set. Still have a little ways to go but chipping away at it.

Now onto a trade I made.

I was scrolling through Twitter when I saw someone had "liked" @Mosley_Mark, IDrawBaseballCards,tweet and saw he was looking for mini cards from Ginter, Goodwin, etc. And he posted some cards he had FT in exchange for them. I jumped on one that caught my eye immediately and we made a trade. Was as easy as it got.

First I will show off the two great prints he sent along of his work. Really good stuff in my opinion.
Cool additions for the PC.

And now the card I spotted. As everyone knows, I dig the non sport stuff from Ginter and when I saw this relic, it called my name.

Very cool! Also a used swatch.

Thanks goes out to Mark for the trade and the prints. If you haven't yet, go give him a follow on Twitter and check out his amazing work. And maybe start a trade yourself if you have any mini's just laying around on your desk like I did.

Today's sets talk is from my first ever trade on Twitter with WestCoastHockeyHits who not only had hockey cards, but had some serious set help for me. This is just one part of it.

I am always hoping people will dig deep and find some Ground Zeros in their collections that are collecting dust and he did.

Fleer NFL Prospects of Michael Westbrook I needed. These were inserted one in every 6 packs.I have 14 of the 20 needed for the set so it's coming along.

This card marks me half way to the 18 card set. TD was a huge need that I desperately needed. These fell 1:23 packs or roughly one per box.

And check out this Red Siege set help. Nine new ones!

We had a lot of Sets today. The next part focuses on one particular one. Come back for the next volume and let's have some gold added to our sets.
