This has been a most impressive thread. I'm amazed at the number of back runs completed, in progress, etc, and love to see the variety of players covered. Huge props to everyone that's shared.

Six or seven years ago I started a Gibson back run, got to 9 different and became frustrated when I couldn't even confirm a Hindu. I ended up selling that collection, and it was completed by Mike Frohme (See post #32). I was as excited for him when he did it as I would have been if it was me.

Over the past year and a bit I've re-acquired some of my original T206 Gibsons, and even had a chance to buy a Hindu...so as of last week that complete T206 Gibson run resides in my collection. I'm now working a bit past the basic run to try and add some freaks, and a couple of (super tough) non-T206s that share the same image.

So for anyone that's interested, check out this gallery I setup on CF over the weekend. I've probably accounted for 100 hits to this page just since Saturday....

Again, great collections everyone!
