Well the collecting bug took over and now we are well on our way to completing it (well, at least to try for 520). We even have a wall display of all the graded cards in order (takes up the entire wall too...) and we have The T206 Collection book as a ready guide...
I know this is my first post as I just joined last week, so let me also thank everyone on this board for your perspective and your obvious excitement that ALL of you feel for this collection. Even though all the players are long gone to only memories, the "Monster" LIVES because of the fever and fervor of all of you.
Hope to post many more!
