Nonetheless, it's a cool accomplishment. I'll bet less people have finished a T206 set than have reached the summit of Mt. Everest. Again, you just need a good level of health and the money to go on the tour. Something over 2000 people have done it. I had a friend who tried and lost a couple toes for his trouble. Even if you do either, it shouldn't be your biggest accomplishment in your life...

I think the "monster" nickname was probably more true before ebay and all the auction houses.

The Old Judge set is truly still a "monster".

a master E98 set with all 4 of the background colors would probably take a few years

Been working on the N284 Buchners for over 5 years and have seen virtually everyone offered, so if $ were flowing it would be just about complete by now.

M116 is an issue that's certainly doable, but also tougher to put together then a T206 set, though in a 2-3 year span, every card should come up for sale. V100 is another toughie - before 2 partial sets that sold in the past 12 months, it has been a few years since some of the cards were available for sale.
