Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>I've been very entertained at the speed you have put your near-set together. I'm not a T206 collector, but I'd love to see some scans of your accomplishment. Thanks.

Posted By: <b>Scott Levy</b><p>Congratulations! That's a really amazing accomplishment and so quickly too. It's especially neat that you've got the key cards to the set, the demmitt, o'hara and 4 cobbs!<br /><br />Now time to cuddle up to the T205s <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Regards,<br />Scott

Posted By: <b>Scott Levy</b><p>I think the cobb green is very respectable. IMO should be a "1". We all start somewhere, our first partial T206 set was mostly beaters too.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Scott

Posted By: <b>Jamie</b><p>No bank breakers.. just like I like em... to me the t206s that have a little wear are cool as it shows that they really are 100 years old... that and the fact that I probably will never see or afford a mint 9 t206.. <br /><br /><img src="http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg309/blunder19/matty90.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg309/blunder19/matty90back.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg309/blunder19/mattyport2.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg309/blunder19/mattyportback2.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Scott Levy</b><p>Jim,<br /><br />Usually when I say "we or our" it refers to my dad and I who jointly collect the monster. It just gets tiresome saying my dad and I all the time.<br /><br />Regards,<br />S
