You thought my 1936 S&S thread was boring, check out this one on T202 end panels!

Ok, let me get this out of the way...hooray for me, I have completed the T202 end panel set. What, people probably think, do collectors pursue just the detached end panels of T202 cards, and actually attempt completing the set? Apparently so. Recently I picked up the Devlin Rustlers variation shown. Of course, being the last card that I needed (and the only card I needed for over a year), I was willing to pay double what I would normally. Thankfully these things typically come dirt cheap, so no 2nd mortgage on the home required. I worked on this set for something close to ten years...hey, these weren't supposed to be detached, and due to the varying amounts of appearances in the regular T202 set, the availability of each of the 144 subjects widely varies too.

Some might call me nutty...I reserve that term to anyone who would pursue a master set of both black and red print backs.

Check out this thread I posted 5 years ago about this 'set': http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...highlight=t202, and check out the scan of some of my set in little plastic sleeves, placed within to keep the little critters from even thinking of searching out and attaching back to their mother ship middle panels.
