The end of a very long journey...Let's go "Back in Time"!

Hey all,

As some of you know I've been working on the 02-03 ITG Parkhurst Retro master set for quite a while. I didn't start right away when the product was released, so that has made it a little more of a challenge. Thanks to Bert (allberts), I've knocked off another subset. In an easy trade with Bert, I was able to land this final piece to the BIT puzzle...

After freeing it from it's slab and uniting it with it's brothers, the set looks like this...

02-03 Parkhurst Retro Mario Lemieux Back in Time

It was a really fun set to collect, and I was able to upgrade many of the swatches while waiting for others I needed to show up.
It feels good to finally have this one completed. Thanks for taking a look!:beer:

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone!

I'm not taking on any more set projects at the moment. I still have three Retro subsets that I need to finish off. I'm one card away from the Trophy Hopefuls (Hossa), I'm one away from the Magnificent Insert set (Mario emblem /10), and four away from the Magnificent Insert autos (all /5). I might not ever find them all, but you never know.
