My Checklists Are Built. My Cards Are Inventoried. I Am Ready To Build More Subsets. Can You Help Me???
Last week I announced that I had decided to collect a few more subsets that came from 2012 Topps releases.
Topps created some great subsets in 2012, and I look forward to going after many of them. I am going to start with the three listed below, but something tells me that adding a few more to my roster of future subsets to collect is a guarantee.
So, I have compiled the checklists. I have sorted what I presently own. And I have documented all of it.
Here are the three checklists that I am going after:
2012 Topps Gypsy Queen ‘MoonShots’ – I pulled eight of these cards from a bargain bin at a recent baseball card show. You could say that purchase helped push me to go after the full set…

2012 Topps Archives ‘Deckle Edge’ – I loved these cards as soon as I saw them. And while I would prefer that the set only contained cards of players that played when the set was originally debuted decades ago, I still want them all.
I am starting this set from scratch – not a single Deckle Edge card in my current collection…

2012 Topps Archives – ’77 Cloth Stickers – This is another one that looks great and offers a good mix of current and former stars. I have two cards from this set already, Joe Morgan and Reggie Jackson – but they are in my player collections and I don’t want to pull them so this is another one that I am going to start from scratch…

I am really looking forward to this challenge.
And if you can lend a hand, I would certainly be open to organizing a few trades that would be mutually beneficial for both of us.
So, if you have any Gypsy Queen MoonShots, Archives Deckle Edge, or Archives Cloth Stickers laying around that are not beloved parts of your collections, let me know. I am wanting to wheel and deal!!!
Thanks for reading. Have a great night!!
