If you are implying that I am "nuts" for trying this with the T206 set, then
you are not the only one. Initially, I had the same thought of myself.
But, back in December I had "completed" my 2nd T206 set (520 cards). So,
I asked myself "is that all there is ?" (Peggy Lee....1950's). I took a closer
look at the cards and noticed that 25% of them were Piedmont backs. So,
I broke up this set and started all over. First, by trading with a friend (who
has a complete set and didn't care about the backs) my "whatever" backs for
his Piedmont backs.
And, before I knew it I had over 1/2 the set with Piedmont backs. But, this
process wasn't just random for I wanted to collect the 3 different Series in
the order they were produced (based on The Monster and conversations with
Scot Reader). An additional 25% I have purchased. So, that leaves 25% still
to acquire for a 520 card (99.4 % complete set).
So, call me "nuts", or whatever....I am having a lot of fun with this challenge.
