So I thought that this might be a good idea to open up a discussion forum on the subsets of the Topps 2009 Series 1 and 2 sets. One realization that I have come to in just the couple weeks that I have been doing this, is that it is going to be pretty impossible to collect them all. Economically speaking it is just not a realistic goal. But from what I know so far, here are my thoughts.
Turkey Red - I really like the look of these and figure that after my base set is complete, this will be my next gathering challenge. Apparently there are 50 per series, so I definitely have my work cut out for me.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6tVeJgbqX1_XAJ0YZRGNzCFD4WyR3_XXgKiW4Reh812kJ7dbsvT2HeJWjBx4vw0n170srxRGr7Vbsmc9QlQBW5AOg03mDu5xFo5A2JtL8jNj_N_MTLaMJrC3X0aO027OOkRZG-4xqhyphenhyphenM/s320/TurkeyCy.jpg)
Career Legends - I also like the look of these quite a bit. Felt good to pull a Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth, although I am fairly certain everybody has them, but they look nice. I will try to complete this as well.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb22YpY4XOLh_mpLOyigxIfauO3amT_dy67XpLUk111VxVPjD_vZwhFo7U-3ICpn68WJJdbR6_WgWqcMKaXS11GxrBroHin-ili_jPBGQsFtH_mFI7xHX-75o7vZHatKIsSALvIVa0erw/s320/Careerruth.jpg)
Legends of the game - I am on the fence here, I kind of like these, but also kind of don't. I might use these for trade value.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaK0GMRUB2dpFGReY9HbRtVhUuBKVjsjZFaB5GjN3jeuiD1XGn_IvZcr019AlOa9cst73QH86-t8ysGaH8D9v6L0pE9Ep8vnrKTKA7oKHJDNddujSwBVSdL8Zej0mmsv4OD_mUsXJJqBQ/s320/legendsichiro.jpg)
WBC cards - Definitely not interested in these. Have a few, but if you want them, just holler...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeDqxbq69YcNfY7S1EKElBUUilGPT_ayONXBB2JMf6B3b5OpZ4W5_b2A_sV5LiCNivsyrN8xJPY0X_h6g9Dbw1vS3wff72D1OReCgjLkoWW6GNCvrmeILXzgG1jVucIiuTEzAKyTLJ2ks/s320/WBCwright.jpg)
Ring of Honor - Again on the fence, but these don't really interest me much either. After my next couple of hobby boxes, I will see how close I am and maybe try to complete it, but it is definitely not a priority.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht8PN03Ui1HbMLLSyzNS7x_zEZKVvCfxXXp6bGCWetQ8wb6JL0h9hoUsUZfoR2q8mB3lfsFmOwfionRmQTYdlQpKLBACU_5qlmMv6gP955Ynx8FK5yi69WYT0ndwdoQjW9JGQApUj5zQI/s320/Ring1.jpg)
Gold Cards - Okay, these are pretty cool, but what are the chances of getting an entire set of these? Maybe these have better value as individuals? Don't know, but there is no way I can collect all of them, so most likely these are on the trade block as well.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ySYelcmkYSfAkXqJV_HncfQBgtbkzo0ltCYp3nwjz8EXMVFeXbB_F-vNrFx_LcCE_1STYOTC_dHXCTaYcG2V7V9QTKQAhLggKMSqIZyIm9YKrChA3ZvsIodjDOm1K14tZvUBwOSPtBI/s320/Gold+Beckett.jpg)
So what are your thought? What sets do you enjoy/are seeking out? What types of strategies do you use to decide what to collect and what to trade or sell? The floor is open...
