I finished a better-than-beater T206 set in probably 2014 which I completed to 520, and have no desire to go further. At one time I thought I would make a play for the Plank be it never transpired. I figure I had $8,000 or so in the set, but I had worked on it for years before at about 350, I said, Hey, you can finish this thing (at least as close as I wanted to).

It was worth it at the time for sure. I consider the T206 a "relationship" set. I learned at least a little about every player, the seasons, and the teams. I upgraded, traded, and made a lot of relationships with other collectors. I made some trades I'm proud of and some I regret but it was an adventure.
