A real travesty. All board T206 guys need to be in the Monster Thread.

I better start counting my cards. I don't think I'm on the list. I might need 24 different set counts, with all the different front/back combinations. Honestly, I think I'm just embarrassed to have so many T206 front/back combo's but still be 7 somewhat simple cards away from a 520 set. In my defense, getting to 520 was honestly never a goal. I just knew that it would eventually happen at some point. As I mentioned in an earlier post to Ryan, no need to rush into a purchase. Wait for the right card and price to come along. I'm still waiting for the right card and price to come along on my final 7.

This is already proving to be really tough. Scouring eBay, nicely centered, good color/registration examples are few and far between. That, or collectors snap up those graded 4, 5, and 6’s really fast.

Any N54 post by Tedzan is also well worth the read. He's also done extensive research on the set. So much so that he's almost narrowed it down to which forest the trees used to make the paper were cut from.
