Ryan thanks so much for posting Sonnys set. I thoroughly enjoyed scanning through his incredible cards.

How fitting is it that his cover page to his card gallery states "my attempt at an epic set". Id say that he accomplished that and then some.

Whats so special about Sonnys set is that each card is unique in its own way and not just about the number printed on the flip.

Its by far one of the most amazing array of T206's I've seen as a group, EVER!!

Kudos to you for sharing these......... Thank you!

Really nice of you to post this Ryan, as you stated Sonny is very humble and one of the nicest guy's in the hobby. What's almost as amazing as his set is the fact that he has/had a lot of incredible cards that aren't even included in this set.

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.

Wow and Wow

The set is impressive. Any idea how long it took for Sonny to accomplish this feat? any idea if he has any interesting stories behind getting any or some of these cards?

Would love to here the story behind the cards and about Sonny.

Great looking T206s. You can tell they are hand picked for quality.
The only exception, concerning categorization, is there is a Coupon T213 in there ....

Just an incredible accomplishment to put together such a set!

Thanks Sonny for sharing the scans with us and thanks Ryan for giving the set its own thread which it rightly deserves.
