Very nice!! Those are some tough cards. Great collection of tougher backs especially the HOFers. Congratulations and good luck with the second half.

The Burch American Beauty 460 should be under the fielding pose not the batting.

That is a freaking great idea. I haven't started the T206 yet, and was thinking of just trying a mid grade set. However, this is another alternative, to try to avoid the common backs as much as possible. Really nice set.

Man, fantastic set so far. I started this year (age 23). If I can get to 20% by age 28, I'll be ecstatic. And that is without all those difficult backs and high grades too.

Carolina Brights, Hindus. An amazing collection! I have a feeling the second half won't be as difficult as you think.

Best regards,

Joe

don't listen to it.

Wow, to echo all those before me, amazing backs collection!

...and to call for scans, how about the Carolina Brights Cobb?

I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of 40-45% complete in just over a year, but I certainly don't have the wide range of backs!
