T205 collectors

[Wite3]

Completed my first set (minus the hobby no stats) several years ago in low to mid grade. My second front only set is decidedly low grade (wanted complete readable cards but the lowest condition/price I could find). I do have an example of every back advertiser including a couple of blank backs. I hoard this set but it has slowed with the birth of my son last year and some job issues this year....hope to start up again at some point but who knows.

Collecting a T205 Cubs Front/ back variation subset. There are 151 possible
Cards and I have 116 of the various cards. Mine are all SGC graded and love the challenge. Cards are getting harder to find but that happens.

Have been collecting them off & on for years! I have 206 different front/back variations, without regard to advertising!

If I counted correctly, I STILL have ~22 to go for a Master Set, but then what???

I have been REALLY enjoying "The Hunt" tho....

I have always said the hunt is a lot, if not most, of the fun I have had in collecting. The journey can be great if you let it be....

I remember seeing a spreadsheet with all various front/back combinations for the T-205's. I've been looking for it but cant seem to find it. Can anyone help??

I had the spreadsheet at one time but I modified it to only be for the Cubs. Got it from another board member here.

I'm working on a Piedmont Factory 42 set. I've got quite a few. Curious how many are possible. I should've printed the sheet out when I saw it.

Paul, I have it, it's an Excel spreadsheet. Just PM me with your email and I'll send it to you.

[pherbener]

Thanks David!! PM sent.

Really slowed down too. I have been trying to get back up and running, but everything else money-wise always seems to come up first!

For an interesting current market comparison, there was a Hindu and a Drum that ended last night at LOTG. Both were commons, both were SGC 30/2, both were in roughly the same condition. The Drum ended at $1722 and the Hindu ended at $2337, with BP. I thought both of those prices were incredibly strong, certainly more than I was expecting on either one. I think I just got priced out of the Drum/Hindu chase!

Dan, not to mention that as I collect T205 HoFers only, now we are talking ONLY the Mordecai Brown Drum (if Leon still owns it) and the Hindu Johnson. Guess I will NEVER have a HoF back complete set.

By far my favorite T205 (if you can't already tell by my avatar)

I started the set about three months ago and have about 70 graded 3 or better. Seems to be getting slower as I go along though.

That is quite a few for 3 months. I am approximately halfway through after a year and a half or so. Here is the second half obtained. I need to get them in order.

Having completed this set.....I continue my T205 "hunt" by forming these A - B - C - D sub-sets.
Here is an example of my favorite......

Very true! You keep seeing the same ones that you already have over and over again!

There are lots of T205s for sale but so few fit the bill ....a new pick up and an upgrade. Would like to downgrade the Foxen (SGC 6) but keep the same look.
