Octaanes Collection Thread - Gen 3 and lower 4 lyfe

Collecting My Collection
1

I’ve finally gotten around to it - I’ll be fleshing this bad boy out over time.

I’ve been collection since I was a small kid, starting at base set, and I’ve never stopped.

There’s a bunch of sealed stuff as well, and several interesting cards that I’ll highlight soon, such as a grey stamp skyridge card, and some errors.

The goal is to put together all gen 1-3 sets (1st Ed. sets optional). Here’s my current progress:

That’s a wild goal! Can’t wait to see the updates!

How do you go about tracking your progress/knowing your % complete?

I have to imagine that’s a task in itself!

It’s been a slog, but I hope I get there some day!

Regarding your question about how I track it, I have a detailed spreadsheet with calculations built in that let me keep track on a set by set, card by card basis - I couldn’t find a way to embed something that complicated here, so just stuck in the current percent completion.

Thank you for taking the time to make a collection thread. You collection goal is challenging but I am sure will be very rewarding as you start ticking the boxes. Really looking forward to seeing this thread progress and also updates on the ones that you have already finished 100%.

Thanks for sharing some of the beautiful cards already.

Cheers!
