Masterpieces

Recently, I decided I would attempt to collect as many of the 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces sets as possible. There are 105 cards in the base set (5 of the cards #1-110 were apparently never produced as I can not find any record of their existence). Besides the base set, there are 10 parallel sets: Black, Red (#/199), Blue (#/150), Brown (#/99), Green (#/75), Blue (#/50), Green (#/50), Burgundy (#/25), Light Blue (#/10), and Silver (#/various). The short printed cards (#91-110) are not included in the Black, Red, Blue 150, Brown, or Silver sets. So in total, that is 1,060 cards I am chasing. I do not anticipate ever compiling the entire Light Blue or Silver sets due to scarcity and the Blue 50, Green 50 and Burgundy sets will prove to be difficult as well.

Below is a table marking my statistical progress on all of the sets, as well as a detailed checklist of the 6 least scarce sets.

THE STATS:

SET	HAVES	WANTS	% COMPLETE

Green 50	2	103	1.90%
Burgundy	0	105	0.00%
Light Blue	0	105	0.00%
Silver	0	86	0.00%
Overall	139	921	13.11%
