The way I look at it, depending upon which backs you are collecting, you could be
approx. 1/2 the way there. There are really only 5 backs to consider (Piedmont,
Old Mill, Sovereign, Sweet Caporal, and the tougher El Principe de Gales).... that
is if you want to maintain your sanity. And, I say this because the cards with
these "basic" five Tobacco Adv. are pretty well defined.
These are the only ones that are included in all 3 - Series. Trying to collect "sets"
with any of the other 10 backs will result in "sets" far short of 500+ cards.
Therefore, 5 (basic backs) x 518 (cards) = 2590 cards.
Of course, I would think that you probably have been accumulating most of your
T206 cards in some sort of a random manner. If so, then of course you are not
really 1/2 way to these (5 x 500+) "sets".
However, I thought you might appreciate my observations.
SCOT R.....please check me on these observation.
Although, I am curious.....Brian, did you start this great adventure with some
systematic approach in mind ?
