What's the toughest set or subset you've finished?

[milkit1]

T202 cubs subset with weird Johnny Evers color variation

[t213]

In terms of a near miss, I had 10 of 11 E104-2s at one point - missing only Wagner. That was daunting enough for me to break up my group.

I completed T209 color, a T210 series (series 2), a 1931 Zeenut set and am within 9 of a T213-2 set (179/188). I have also completed and broken up a half dozen caramel sets (E90-2, E91-C, E92 Dockman, E93, E95, E96); and been more than halfway complete on E90-1, E90-3, E91-B, E92 Croft Cocoa, E94, E97, E100, E104-1, E104-2, E106 before breaking them up.

Andy,

That's quite an impressive list.

With the T213-2s that you still need have you been able to document that all of those cards exist?

Rob,

I know that 6 of the T213-2s exist. I haven't been able to document the other 3.

I don't know if this counts -- but one card of every hall of famer. I started in about 1975, finished about two or three years ago with Bid McPhee, and then finished again with Barney Dreyfuss. I still need Pete Hill, but who's counting?

As many of you know, in the past 4 years I've put together an all-PIEDMONT set (519 cards)....an all-SOVEREIGN (407 cards)
complete set....and, an all-SWEET CAPORAL (factory 30) set of 467 cards (missing only Plank and Wagner).

But, in the meantime I still have not completed my sub-set of American Beauty 460 (factory 42 NC) cards. Talk about "TOUGH".
I have 61 of a possible 103 cards. I have a pretty good idea that approx. 40 of these candidates are NO-PRINTS. So, I'm near
complete....but, I'm still searching.

Therefore, I would rate this T206 back sub-set almost as tough as a DRUM, LENOX, Red HINDU, or UZIT.

Ted,

will you post the confirmed AB 460 list?

Thanks

I don't want to side-track this thread. So, I will start a thread on the AB 460 cards by tomorrow, or Tuesday.

Gotta get back to the Angels-Yankees game.

Thanks for asking.

My guess is three or four other complete sets in existence--

But, on the other hand, there is always renewed hope with every new collection idea!

Tim -

Congrats, those are tough!
