Leon, I have a total of 291 T205 cards including duplicates...only missing the Wilhelm and Mathewson variations to have all 221 cards for a master set...have at least 2 examples of all 11 different tobacco brands and have at least one Hall of Famer with all 11 different brand backs...and have one blank back card(Jimmy Dygert).. but only 20 of those 291 T205 cards are graded and I am perfectly OK with that...I just enjoy looking at them without being "entombed"...I guess if I ever decide to sell them I may be forced to get them "slabbed and graded" to maximize the greatest financial reward...I often wonder what some of the old time collectors would think about the grading process...I only really got to know one serious old time collector...his name was Crawford Foxwell from Marylands eastern shore and he used to set up at local shows in our area...he always had a little of everything and was extremely knowledgable
