I am working on the T206 set in a low grade (i.e. not much, if anything, above a PSA 3). I plan to be done in approximately 1 more year . . . except for the "biggest 2," which I have no plans to pick up. |

R306 Butter Creams. Have 15 of the 30 (well, 15 of 29 to be practical, because I just don't see the Ruth ever happenin'). Started the set in the spring after picking a group of five from Lionel Carter's collection. That's the only set I'm working on and don't really have an urge to start on another. |

I am working on the Goudey Wide Pens. In the 314C (Creamy) subset, I have 21 out of 25. I am trying to collect them in EX or higher, which increases the challenge as not too many are graded and people often seem to think their VGs are EX-MT! Until about three months ago or so, I seemed to be just about the only one buying the higher grade material, but I am now getting a fair amount of competition. |

I'm currently at 515 for the T206 set. I bought my first one when I was 8, that was 30 years ago. I tend to take sanity breaks away from the hobby, but it always sucks me back in. Can't imagine I'll ever get the Wagner or Doyle, short of committing a felony, which I'm still reluctant to do. Stupid morals. I've got the Magie, and figure someday I may plunk down for a Plank that looks like it's been beaten with a stick. The other 6 cards I'll probably pick up in the near future. I seem to have a new nemesis on Ebay who invariably snipes the end of Southern Leaguer auctions, but thankfully I only have one Southern Leaguer left to go. From here I figure I'll move to Obaks as I already have a couple dozen, and I like the look of the cards and the lack of irrational exuberance in their cost. I enjoy the "Pick up" threads on here as it exposes me to sets I've never collected, but might in the future. |

I forgot to add Pinkerton postcards as a "set" that I collect. Since there is no checklist, I am not sure what percent I have. I just picked up Frank Ward's Babe Adams so that makes number 14. |

I collect E121 Series of 120 Yankees. Missing Ruth (waiting for the right one), and DeVormer and O'leary. Also collect T207 Cubs. Missing Saier and Ward Miller (trying to get them at the right price). Also any variety of Elmer Miller (have 10 different cards so far). Jason L, what T207 Cubs are you missing? I have a couple of extras SGC graded if you are interested. |

'40 Play Ball (almost 1/4 done), T218 (about 10% done for the full set), and '36 Goudey (about 1/3 done)would be my main set focuses for pre-WWII. I haven't done a thing with any of them in quite some time. But my type card collection is coming along nicely. |

I'm 1 card away from the E98 set. I only need the Cobb, but know I won't be able to afford one till summer. Oh well, the journey is the exciting part of collecting. I can't decide if I want to pursue a master set after that or just try to get the set in one color only or something. Either way I've enjoyed collecting this simple, yet elegant set. |
