Wow, that's alot in just 6 years. And those backs, wow.

Pup6913 02-02-2011 10:48 AM

Stunning. Best of luck on the next 50%

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.

burch 460
 
yeah i just noticed that sgc slabbed it wrong.

teetwoohsix 02-02-2011 12:24 PM

That's insane !!!
 
You are putting together an amazing set with all of those tough backs- and to be at 50% in 6 years is also a great accomplishment,,,,,great job!!!
All I can say is WOW :eek:

With Respect, Clayton

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.

MooseWithFleas 02-02-2011 12:28 PM

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.

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

Best regards,

Joe

congratulations!
quite a milestone.
and top drawer collection.
now just hold tightly to the wise dictum:
remember, the Monster wants you to quit.
don't listen to it.

all the best,

Scans Please!!
 
Let's see some scans!! You have an incredible collection, would love to see scans of the Young printers scrap and Cobb AB 460!

Jeff

brass_rat 02-02-2011 10:25 PM

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!
