Yeah, this is already a crazy (awesome) accomplishment, but with that timeline it's crazy (awesome) squared.

That Gibson ghost back image is an awesome card! The whole collection is of course amazing and inspiring, but the Gibson just really caught my eye.

Wow. I am truly in awe!

That really took dedication to complete this amazing collection in such a short time.

Amazing accomplishment Sonny, the sheer volume of incredible cards is overwhelming.

Here's my Sonny story:
I was working on a trade for an H-card and the member wanted an Uzit back, now I think y'all T206 guys are certifiable and I'm an ecard guy so I reached out to Ryan asking about Uzit availability and he hooked me up with Sonny, within minutes Sonny texted me with two available choices. The trade didn't work out but the takeaway for me was how generous members are on this sub are with regard to helping each other out. I've said it before, but this is an amazing place.

Oh, and I did end up getting the H-card from the member through his generosity.

Ryan, thanks for posting.

"I’m missing a few cards and many of those shown are place holders until something ‘special’ comes along. I genuinely don’t think i will ever consider it complete."


Sonny, this sentence is the really beautiful thing about collecting T206 cards...it's never done, it's never over...it's a lifelong journey.

As others above had said, really glad to call you a friend.

................ Oh that Tolstoi Cross ...................

I have dealt with Sonny a few times, and have to reiterate what has been said many times here ..... humble. Doesn't matter if it's a $25 card or a $2500 card, all the same .... just a great and FUN experience !!!

What a set !!! Scott

Truly fantastic. Well done, Sonny!

Oh.. i love that Brown Hooker!

Wait, did you mean a complete set minus the Wagner and Plank? Is that just assumed in the T206 collecting world?

[Hankphenom]

That's really wild! Question for the hobby historians here: when did collectors start paying serious attention to the different backs, or have they always? Are the real early guys, the Barkers, Brays, Burdicks, etc., concerned at all with backs in their correspondence and collecting? If not, who kicked it off and when did it pick up real steam?

Incredible. So much fun to peruse.
