I have not purchased many cards lately...and nothing from the 2018 releases. Instead I've been trying to go through the mountain of unsorted monster boxes that I have in my closet to see if I need any of these cards for my hundreds of unfinished sets.
Thanks to the generosity of a fellow blogger (and I can't remember which one because I think it's been a couple of years since I received them), I can mark 2008 Topps Update as completed.
This set was kind of unique for me since I never intentionally bought a pack of it. All the cards I either got from repacks, boxes of commons or from other bloggers. If you've read my blog on a regular basis (and I'm truly sorry if you do), you may have read posts where I mentioned buying boxes of 1500 commons from my LCS for 10 bucks. I bought a lot of these in 2008 and they were full of 2008 Topps Update. I'm pretty positive the Kershaw came out of one of these boxes, which means I got it for less then a penny. It also means I have a fair amount of dupes and probably could help someone out if they are trying to put this set together.
I am building it and could use all the help I can get. 2008 TOPPS UPDATE: NEED 1, 10, 13, 15, 19, 20, 21, 27, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 39, 41, 42, 43, 44, 52, 55, 57, 68, 71, 73, 100, 105, 107, 111, 117, 118, 123, 127, 129, 130, 141, 145, 146, 147, 153, 159, 165, 166, 177, 189, 190, 195, 197, 201, 202, 206, 207, 212, 213, 215, 223, 224, 233, 240, 243, 267, 271, 273, 274, 282, 285, 287, 288,290, 300, 303, 305, 311, 313, 315, 318, 321, 322, 323, 327, 328, 330.
