			Yowza!!  Awesome achievements, both of you!    Um, Cobb prices seem to have increased a tiny bit in the last 38 years, 5 months, and 23 days.   |

			My quest began in the 80's too, but I don't have a specific date.  The cards were Tinker bat off, Evers Cubs on, and Chance yellow.  My Cobb bat off was a little more than $100.

			I am up to 133/520. Built a good checklist to track percentages: 25% of 520, 28% of HOF cards, 24% of SLers. I have put together my own estimate of the total cost, and I am 21% of the expected cash. As time has passed, I get less and less excited about O’Hara/Demmit St Louis so it may be that I do 518. Anyhow, here are some of the better pickups so far. Thank you to many on this board who have sold me some fairly priced cards.

			Set #2 for me (#93 on your list) can be removed. I got it to 520 and decided I didn’t need 2 sets. It’s on its way to a new home now. My 680 is great and better than ever!!
