I resisted the urge to open my 2004 Topps Factory set yesterday. Not because it would drop in value the moment I took the shrink wrap off, but because I wanted to wait until my son is older to enjoy opening up and looking through the cards.

Which got me to thinking. I had collected pretty heavily in the 1980s. I have each Topps set from 1980-1993. But now I’m missing 1994-2003. So if anyone out there has an extra set they’d like to trade, or if there’s a vendor who wants to work something out with me, drop me a line. I know the card industry isn’t what it was like when I was a kid, but by filling in these sets, then I know I have at least one card of the good players coming through.

UPDATE

Since posting this, I’ve purchased a 1994 Topps set, so I can scratch that off of my list.
