FURTHER UPDATED -- T206 524-Card Set Complete & On PSA Registry
 
4 Attachment(s)
I was lucky to come across a collector willing to part with his Wagner and Doyle Nat'l. This means I now have all of the "Big 4" from the 524-card T206 set. Here they are- I thought it would be very cool to see them in one place, especially on this board with so many T206 enthusiasts.

Very cool achievement! Many of us are living vicariously through your awesome pick-ups.

I think I'm going to have to go into a life of crime If I ever want to afford this! Beautiful post.

Nice work! I'm exactly those cards away from all 524! They're probably not nice enough for your collection so feel free to just mail them to me...haha!

Seriously, though. Congratulations! Massive cards and I appreciate you sharing them!!

All I can say is...

Ronnie73 06-11-2020 10:09 AM

Incredible task completed!! The Wagner is basically a money thing but the Doyle is more of an availability and money thing. Extremely rare for both to happen at the same time. Congratulations!!

brianp-beme 06-11-2020 10:39 AM

Smokes Holy! With that Doyle you are required by Net54 law to post a scan of it on this thread: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=281100 The Doyle was the only 'common' that no one was able to provide a scan of from their personal collections.

And update your T206 Monster Number, or start it up...you have 480 points with those 4 cards alone.

Congrats, Brian

Wow! Incredible. Congratulations!

Epic achievement congratulations!

Hell of an accomplishment!... and a shout out to Net54 for helping connect collectors so that we can achieve all these crazy goals we set for ourselves..

Congrats Ryan!

Incredible accomplishment Ryan

maniac_73 06-11-2020 02:18 PM

Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!

tazdmb 06-11-2020 02:22 PM

Congrats, I know the seller. Hope all is well with him, surprised he would let them go.

Hankphenom 06-11-2020 02:47 PM

Not sure we'll ever see a post like that again, in fact I thought it was a joke at first. Anyone else want to show their examples? Anyone? Bueller?

hcv123 06-11-2020 03:07 PM

Ryan! Wow!!
 
That Doyle is insane!!!!! Incredible to think I've seen quite a few more Wagner's than Doyle's. Incredible additions to an incredible collection! You must be "flying" right now!! Thanks for sharing.

Howe’s Hunter 06-11-2020 03:24 PM

Incredible accomplishment
 
Congratulations. One question ... Wagner ... Piedmont or Sweet Cap?

T206.org 06-11-2020 04:25 PM

Oh my! So cool! Thank you for sharing!

T206Collector 06-11-2020 05:13 PM

This is indeed a special event. The Doyle separates you from so many T206 enthusiasts because, as said before, money alone cannot buy that happiness.

todeen 06-11-2020 05:29 PM

Much cooler than reading about it in some hobby magazine that comes out months after the feat. Congrats on your achievement. You should consider getting a PSA Collection Line named after you!

Rhotchkiss 06-11-2020 05:58 PM

Sincere thanks guys. I really appreciate the kind words and I love the responses - I tell my "laymen" (non-collector) friends, and some of them maybe understand the Wagner, but none the Doyle. Its great that places like this exist where I can share with so many awesome people who get it.

NYYFan63 06-11-2020 06:06 PM

Wow! What a great accomplishment. Congrats!

Wowsa....congrats!

ValKehl 06-11-2020 07:56 PM

Well done, Ryan. I can hardly wait for the next collector get together you host for show & tell (like the one you did a few years ago). But this time, you may need to hold it at a banquet hall or some other large facility, because attendance will likely be off the charts!

3-2-count 06-11-2020 08:04 PM

Congratulations Ryan.

Well done. Enjoy.......

Sean1125 06-11-2020 08:05 PM

Incredible.

sreader3 06-11-2020 09:11 PM

Well done. I would think (although I don’t know) that there have been only a couple of hundred 523 sets compiled throughout history and far fewer 524 sets (due to Doyle). Elite company.

MVSNYC 06-11-2020 09:54 PM

Awesome, Ryan. Very happy for you!

You might need to update your avatar now. ;)

JohnP0621 06-12-2020 03:49 AM

Big 4
 
Fantastic. That Doyle is Amazing. As are the other 3.
Thanks for sharing as most of us will only get to see those cards in someone else's collection.

Best Regards

More on the "Connecticut Wagner"

For those keeping track, this is the "Connecticut Wagner." It has a Sweet Cap 150 back and sold at an REA auction in 2010. You can see the back scan on the REA web page. The photos are small, but if I squint hard enough it looks like the Factory number is 30.

See the matching cert. number 31641776 here:

https://robertedwardauctions.com/auc...er-connecticut

Well done, Ryan!

Just curious . . . Has there ever been a known instance of anyone completing the full back-run of Honus Wagner T206 cards? That would consist of Piedmont 150, Sweet Cap 150 Factory 25, and Sweet Cap 150 Factory 30. Is there a known instance of any one person owning two of them?

Throttlesteer 06-12-2020 06:34 PM

Now you just need to upgrade those beaters.

Congrats!!
