Wow...there cannot be very many complete sets in existence !
Even T211 type cards aren't that easy, but the whole set is a big accomplishment.
Major-minor league congrats!

I've never owned a signed T207 card before. Got outbid a few times in the past, but was able to make a trade for this one. Pretty excited about it!

Lots of good stuff here, guys. Glad to find this post. Here's one of the most recent pick ups. If lifetime passes interest you at all, here's a link to a few others, mostly MLB lifetime passes as well as letters from Honus Wagner, Walter Johnson, and Fred Clarke to Ford Frick thanking him for the passes.

Lifetime pass page link here.

While at the site you can search for your favorite HoFer as all are there. There's also a couple hundred non-HoFers too.

Great stuff everyone.
I may be getting some Mecca Boxing cards tomorrow. Plus some 1920's? and 1950's Boxing Exhibits.

Am I the only one thinking you have to try and get into the Hall with that pass! Awesome acquisition.

I keep thinking, "That is the ultimate Hall Pass."

That's darn funny, especially because I'm a teacher!

Thanks, Ed and Brian!

I agree that a complete set is tough, but I took a shortcut by buying the near-set in REA spring 2015. I've been adding, trading, and upgrading since then...trying to complete the set without marks, major paper loss, or trimming.

It's been a lot of fun, and I've met several nice people in the process!

Apologize for one more post-war card from me on this thread, but thought this was too cool to pass up: Autographed Jim Rowe PC of this tough HOFer. Pre-stroke! Guessing this is circa early 1970s.

Two more Helmars...the Alex is 8 x 10 cabinet, the Joe is half that size

..I thought Oh Hey Wow I'd found the photo that was used to create my 1933 Worch Cigar Fred Schulte and I when I finally got around to cataloging them together I saw that "close only counts in quoits (and hand grenades)".....my memory needs more memory....

Only "one higher," as they say, SGC or PSA....Love the subtle, or not so subtle, depictions of why Cy was great--allegedly did not mess with women, drink, gambling or the horses. Truth to this?

There are some GREAT traders here, and here are two of the GREATEST !!!

Tom B. comes through with a Speaker and Willis. Thought Speaker would take me quite awhile, and a Cycle to boot ..... Willis, love my Sov.150 portraits

Then Luke L. deals me some tough EPDGs, and a very tough (imo ) Doolan/field Sov. ..................... Unreal !!!!

The booze part? No truth to it at all. Especially by 1908.
