Awesome! I started a set about 6 years ago but gave up after a dozen cards. It's still one of my favorite sets of all time. The Joss tribute card is one of the best cards of all time.
I agree too, that adding bio's was innovative and in fact, I think that makes T205 the first "true" baseball cards as opposed to just being pictures of baseball players. I really wish they would have done the entire 400 subject set. That would have truly been awesome.
As far as the Hoblitzell goes, personally, I would consider the set complete without it. There are many back variations, including different cigarette brands, so unless you're doing a complete master set of every single back variation, I personally don't think you need this card to be 100% complete.
Anyway, congrats on a great achievement! It makes me want to start this set again.
