Sandy SchwartzI went through an exciting decade-long hunt for T206's back in the 80's and came up a Wagner and Plank short of the set (in the days before Doyle was a legit #524). The thrill of building that set was unbeatable. My attempts back then at building T201, T202, and T205 sets came up short. These days, my love for a wider variety of cards has transformed me into some odd hybrid, collecting both sets and types. On the type front, my focus is on single mid-condition examples for E, D, and N sets. Someday, I envision building a wall display of type cards a la Old Cardboard's beautiful type posters. Then again, why spend money on a wall display when I could buy more cards!
On the set front, I'm progressing well towards the more common N sets: 28, 29, 43, 162, 184. Not sure which direction after that.
Oddly enough, I don't hold N172 as a priority, to me it's just a geriatric T206 on steroids, maybe I'll just order the new Old Judge tome and live vicariously thru that!
