Steven what cards take the set from 524 to 533?

KO has all 9 of the known otherwise unreleased proofs. One Collins and 8 southern leaguers. Truly you wouldn't need them to complete a set, but if you own them why not add them to the count. He has a Wagner (2 if I'm not mistaken) and a Plank. I'd assume he has a Doyle, as massive as his collection is, although I can't be positive on that fact.

Unreleased proofs?????? Is there any photos of any of these. I've never heard of them. I'm sure others have but how many of those are known to exist? Who are the SL players also?

As Josh linked, the nine KO owns are the only known "unreleased" proofs. In my opinion the Collins is massively underrated as an important rarity in the hobby being a singular T206 HOF example - proof be damned. Honestly, if it were a Cobb, Matty, Lajoie, or god-forbid another Wagner pose it would probably be one of the 10 most important items in the hobby.

+1 If I could have any card added to my collection, it would be the Collins proof, or maybe the Doyle. I know this sounds idiotic, but everyone has seen pictures of a Wagner. How many people know about these?

Personally I think 75-100 "520" is low. Wouldn't be surprised it could actually be closer to 150. On the Monster Number thread, "we" have 57 at 500+. net54 is a great place, but "we" aren't the "end all" of collecting. How many collectors do not even know of net54, yet along do not wish to indulge their numbers ??!!

BTW, proof-wise, give me a Jax. player any day

Well Sean if you owned a Wagner then you could buy the Collins

The article says that hundreds of T206 proofs were found in the collection and Lifson picked out the one he wanted, Eddie Collins. Now we are saying that "the Eddie Collins (w/ Bat) proof remains the only unissued major-league subject known from the T206 set." What about the rest of them? Out of hundreds, was the Collins the only unissued one?

From my understanding, yes.

And does he have and Edwards/Cobb Wagner….no set is complete without it.
