Special thanks to Leon (via Heritage), Dave (ccre), and Royce for helping me along the way!

Would love to see other completed T209-1 sets from others...I know of at least a couple others on the board.

Congratulations! That's a nice set. Coincidentally, I finished my set a couple of months ago, thanks to an assist from the fine folks at BST Auctions. Crockett was my last card and it took me a lot longer than 3 years.

Great job Dan and a very nice looking group of cards. I never knew Contentnea Creek existed. Ill have to check it out next time I am in the N.C. area.
