A complete SWEET CAPORAL Factory #30 set comprises of exactly 469 subjects. My set is missing Wagner; therefore, I consider this set "complete" with 468 cards.

With the exception of these 4 cards, the other 464 cards in this set are all UNGRADED.

And, here's a page from my album.

Hi Ted, Those ungraded cards must look great all together. So I'm figuring that you have all different card fronts for your set. What strategy do you use to choose what Subject goes into your set? There's maybe 20 percent of the cards that have 2 cards to choose from? Similar to your Sovereign set when you chose to add all 6 Super Prints with 460 Subjects and not 350 Subjects. I was just wondering if there was a pattern to choosing or is it all random and based on what is found first.

Hi Ron

Yes, the cards look great in plastic pages. I have arranged all my T206 sets in the SERIES order in which they were printed. For example, the 150 Series cards are all included in the
first eleven (15-slot) plastic pages in the binder. And, they are arranged in alphabetical order within this group. DITTO, for the 350-only Series, 350/460 Series, and 460-only Series.

I'm not quite sure of what you are asking me here...�
" So I'm figuring that you have all different card fronts for your set. What strategy do you use to choose what Subject goes into your set? "

Regarding my SOVEREIGN set, I have included both the 350 Series and 460 Series versions of the Six Super-Prints (displayed here). Furthermore, in pursuit of a master SOVEREIGN
set, all my 150/350 subjects have 150 backs; and, their 350 versions are a work in progress.

My scans of Matty, Chance, and Evers with 350 Series backs appear to have disappeared (I will post them upon finding ithem).

Hi Ted, When I wrote the post, I was trying to find the right words because even when I read it back, it wasn't that clear. In your previous post you said that you are working on a Master Sovereign set and that the Print Group 1 350's are a work in progress. That basically answers my question. Your Sovereign set was built with Print Group 1 150's first. So, same question for the Sweet Caporals. If the same card comes in a 150 and 350 or a 350 and a 460, how did you choose? Was it a mix or were 150/350 cards all 150 Subjects. I just read what I just typed and it's still kinda confusing

Ron....very clear, now I get it.

You can call me a "perfectionist", because I was determined to first get the "150 Subjects" backs for all the 150/350 series cards in the PIEDMONT, SOVEREIGN, and SWEET CAP sets.
It was fairly easy to do with the PIEDMONT and SWEET CAP sets. With one exception, I waited many years to acquire the Eddie Plank card with a SWEET CAP 150, Factory #30 back.
For as you know, the majority of the available Plank cards have the SC 350 back.

However, it was a real challenge with the SOVEREIGN set. There are a number of subjects in the 150 series of this set, which were short-printed with SOVEREIGN 150 backs. Examples
that immediately come to mind are Flick and Wiltse (these two guys were the last ones of which I found their "150 Subjects" back. For a long time, Flick and Wiltse were in my set with "350 Subjects" backs And, that really "bugged" me

Anyhow, I'm not interested in trying for a master PIEDMONT, or SWEET CAPORAL (Fac. #30) sets. The SOVEREIGN set, though, is another story as I need to get 476 cards to complete
the "master". Currently, I have 444 cards.

Thanks Ted. I was trying to get a complete visual look of your collection without actually looking at it. I just checked my Flick and Wiltse and they are Sovereign 350's lol. I'm currently at 320 in my Sovereign set.

RON

I'm not at all surprised that your Flick and Wiltse are Sovereign 350's.

Only 82 more subjects to complete your basic all - SOVEREIGN set.
Perhaps, I can add to your set. Send me a list of the cards you need.
