The Countdown begins!

FabFiveFan · May 28, 2012

Well, all 100 cards for 10/11 Contenders Patch RC Auto's Set Chase have been bought/traded for and so I am now waiting for the outstanding cards to come through to complete what is, for me at least, the largest individual Set Chase I have embarked on, so without further ado, here are a few that have come through late last week. I will keep adding to this thread until the final cards are here, then will show all 100 together, cant wait for this to happen.

And I have saved the best til last...

Thanks for looking
Richard

Look forward to seeing that set together - which one was the final piece to the puzzle? Some fo those alternative logos are hard to track down!

Officially the very last card, so the 100th obtained was #152 Evan Turner Alternative, though card No 99 was not obtained long before that one as I also got the Tiago Splitter Alternative (#194) earlier in the same day (a most productive day I must say).

Nice, can't wait to see them together.

Congratulations.

One more received today, not a bad future prospect at all, taking the outstanding list down to only 3, so only waiting on Evans, Sanders and Splitter SP's, but here was Friday's arrival:

Cheers guys. As is regularly the case with me, there is never just one set being chased at any one time, so now the other sets jump up the list of priority. The next mission is the completion of 11/12 SPA, both the Rookie F/X (need 14/50) & also Home Court Signatures, with the needlist just falling below double digits with only 7 required. They are all big names (like Jordan) though, so this may take me awhile. 09/10 Classics RC Auto's also takes greater priority, with only 5 needed for this one, with most of these being numbered /99 . Also now looking to complete 09/10 Panini Hall of Fame Famed Signatures subset with the on card autos of tonnes of all time greats (minus Jordan) included, and I'm around half way (maybe just over) on what was previously a low priority hunt, though with a /10 Bob Cousy Auto included in this set, 100% success on this one may be a pipedream.
Thanks again everyone, cant wait to show you the completed set.

Well done mate

Awesome work mate. Looking forward to seeing this completed!

FabFiveFan · Jun 13, 2012

Here are the latest 2 arrivals, leaving only 1 to go! Where are you Tiago? Cant wait to share the full completed set with you, hopefully wont be long, but included in the two pics here is the Evan Turner SP, which is officially the final card purchased to finish off the 100, so it will always hold a bit of sentiment lol.

Sorry about the pic, the Sanders patch looks a whole lot better in the hand.
Look forward to posting again soon, with all 100!!
Cheers for looking
Richard

Cobretti · Jun 13, 2012

good luck finding the last one.

FabFiveFan · Jun 20, 2012

Woohoo, he's arrived...that's right, Tiago is in the house (or in the hand to be more precise) and here he is

so if you have been reading this thread you will know what that means

Thats right!!! The full set is now complete and here it is in its complete form, all 100 Rookie Autos from 10/11 Panini Playoff Contenders.

Drum Roll please...

It was actually quite laughable as to how much room this took up on the floor, so the detail is not great, but since I am indulging myself, here are the 1st 50 and 2nd 50 (SP) with a bit more zoom...

1st 50

2nd 50 - SP's - I love the fantastic alternate uni team patches.

Thanks for looking, and a big thank you to everyone who has assisted with this project, its been well over a year in the making, and the cards have come from so many different sources, but so glad to have the whole thing 100% finished with no outstanding redemptions/auto's. Looks good huh? Now onto the next project, 09/10 Panini HOF Famed Signatures, but that one is a fair way from requiring a countdown. Anyone who can help, please feel free to contact me.
Cheers
Richard

ADELAIDE CHILLI SOURCE · Jun 20, 2012

very nice work! looks awesome all together....

WoobieZarz · Jun 20, 2012

Fuck they look awesome together like that!! Great work putting them together, you should try to display them all together on a wall or something.

drob50 · Jun 20, 2012

Pm me a price on the Splitter!

drob50 · Jun 20, 2012

hahahaha, I am hilarious!

Awesome work Richard. first complete set I have seen!!

Clearly you are on the Lin bandwagon, with him, Wall, Turner and Cousins being the only ones who 'qualify' for a magnetic! lol

Again mate. Well done...... but............... NEXT set chase

The Countdown begins!
