Master Set (noun) One copy of every card produced for the set.

Back at the turn of the century, Master Sets were still a possibility to build with Topps keeping their most limited cards at a print run of a modest 25 copies.

It has taken me 11 years but I finally killed the 2000-01 Topps Stars master set -- one of only 25 possible sets to exist. :goal:

Here are the set killers that I received recently:

And here is how they look with the rest of the Blue parallel set. Cards #1-125 are limited to /299 and cards #126-150 to /99.

Here are some of the other subsets. I won't include the base set or the basic inserts.

Game Gear - Jerseys

Perhaps my 2 favourite cards in the set, and even my entire PC:

And the reason why this Master Set is one of 25. Both of these cards are numbered /25 but they are the only copies I have EVER seen in the past decade:

Here is a promo set available from distributers, a common practice back in the day (PP1 - PP6):

And here is a sealed box to go along with my collection. My OCD may be satisfied if I can get a Sell Sheet.

Amazingly, I have another card en route that will complete a 2002-03 Master Set. Stay tuned.....
 
Man, I just finished that set............................... THE BASE SET!!!

Cost me a buck for a Dale Purinton RC just to finish it off, so man, what an accomplishment!!

I looked through my stuff and found no sell sheet; I actually thought I had one!!
 
Niiice.

I know the feeling to complete a Master set - just awesome. I was fortunate with mine that the lowest print run was to 50 and 67 and one card to 25. I got off easy whereas you had a lot of work.

Some of those autos I have never ever seen and the Cherry's are sweet.

Kudos for you.

Now if you can help me find the last few ICE Immortals from the 2000/01 ICE set I'll get to post a similar post as yours.

Excellent accomplishment! One of my favorite past sets. *sigh* and this is why I miss Topps so dearly in hockey. Always enjoyed collecting their sets.
 
So I take it you won that Hejduk patch card????:)


Ha Ha. Guilty as charged. :owned:
That's the last one I need for the set.

Thanks all for your comments. I just noticed that the Pronger Auto Game Gear is missing the Topps Stars logo from top left corner. Having not seen any other examples, I'm not sure if my is an exception or if they are all like that...
 
Awesome job, and one of my favorite S&T posts ever!

I would love to do a master set. Maybe 06-07 or 07-08 O-Pee-Chee...
 
Wonderful job. I know how long you've been working on that (the blue parallels, especially). Can't wait to see the 02-03 completion!
 
That is awesome. I always wanted to do one, but I have A.D.D. when it comes to stuff like that.


Bet your unopened box contains one of those auto'd game gear haha
