T206 Set Complete!

[Edwolf1963]

Thank you all for the comments feedback! Regarding scans - I plan to load up into a registry somewhere (most likely SGCs) but that (obviously) will take some time in listing and scan load. Right now they're logged and checked off in an Excel Spreadsheet - sorting through any dupes. What you may see up on the BST or in eBay are those and others looking to sell.

Quick hits:

• Set has nothing really difficult as far as backs (IE: Lenox, Uzit, Drum, etc)
• I was more focused on eye appeal and grading out 3 or higher.
• Several Sovereign 460's, assorted mid-level tougher backs like Tolstoi.
• First HOF was Johnson Portrait (I think the best looking card in the set).
• Worst looking card IMO - probably Spike Shannon (hold that up against the detail of a Willis or Rucker Portrait is like comparing "Stewie" from Family Guy Cartoon to an art mural)
• The Green Cobb (PSA3) was one of the last aquisitions.
• Toughest SL'er was Cranston.
• Best buy were several common raws in the $20 range that graded out 4 or better
• Worst was any common 5 for $125 or more
• SL'ers Paige and Manion look too much alike - bought one thinking the other just looking at the thumbnail pic once. Mr. Harris was then kind enough to trade with me for one I needed
• Hardest common to get in a decent grade was Phelps for some reason - could find enough of them, just always in overpriced BINs

Thanks again!

Wow, congrats. My completion seems years away, but reading about those that actually accomplished it lends credence to the chase. Enjoy the victory!
