The T205 EGGS (Elite Gold Gilded Set) thread: Post your collection progress

[RCMcKenzie]

I think I figured out how to use my old scanner with my new laptop. It's taken 4 months of trial and error. Here goes...

Not sure of my EGG/Kraken number as I mostly collect the backs.

Rob nice clear clean scan - you got my juices flowing to re-catalog my entire collection. going to have to figure out my scanner settings again also. Thanks for sharing.

[RCMcKenzie]

Thanks, John, and good luck with the scanning.

In my case, I have a GT-1500 by Epson. I had downloaded the software from a 3rd party website and it did not work. Today I found the software on the Epson site. It works with auto-settings only, which is okay with me.

I command that your weekend chore is to figure out your EGGS and Kraken numbers and report back the results.

I always love seeing this card as it immediately takes my brain to this photo- one of the best 1910 Paul Thompson portrait photos used for the t205 set in terms of image quality. The card doesn’t do it justice even when the registration is spot on such as your beautiful example. His extreme features just aren’t quite captured in the card. It is not the most valuable Type 1 photo in terms of dollars in my collection but it provides great joy. Yes.. I know how weird that sounds ��

If anybody is looking at all your beautiful cards and thinking how sad it is that they have almost none, I have eggsactly one left. Medical bills, but I couldn't part with this one. It's not nice but it's mine.

It's great that you were able to keep the card that meant the most to you, and its qualifies for eggsactly 7 on the EGGS list. Stay healthy and enjoy the Joss.

Very nice Thompson photo. Thanks for posting it. B&W photography is becoming a lost art.

Also, nice Joss. I don't have one in my collection, yet. It is a long work in progress.

Brian, I looked at my T205 box, placed the Schulte in there, and thought about counting the points. I will get to it soon. I should have some extra time over the holidays. Rob

Finally picked up a Collins (now converting him to PSA).
This puts by EGGS at 99!

Nice 99. You will be updated to the brink of the century mark.

That Paul Thompson photo doesn't hide a thing...it is pretty impressive. I think the T205 artist(s) did a great job with capturing the player's essence, but they also were not afraid to smooth out facial features. The original photoshoppers.
