Thank you for so nice words, now I try to save money to buy a 1909 svdb, but for the present its a bit far... To complete the set has taken me 4 years, and till now the more difficult to obtain has been the 1914 D. The book receipt does a couple of days.
I have mixed feelings on this set. They have a space for the 1922 no D, but leave out the 1955 DD (double die).
That's what it's all about. I prefer graded coins at this time, but I also cherish my sets in folders as well. Frankly, I would sell the graded coins before I ever sold my sets in folders, which are my first coin collections.
It is a nice set. Reminds me of mine - mine does not include proofs. Plus not even sure I added 2015 in yet. I will have to go check it.
I started a similar collection 31 years ago but still missing a few of the key dates that you have. Great job!
