T206 Mission Accomplished

[Archive]

Posted By: Lee Behrens

Thanks to a generous board member I was able to finish the T206 set minus the big 5. When the day comes that I am willing to spend $1000 or more I may try to fill those cards in. I still have about 20 I would like to upgrade. I also continue buying T206s for the back variations.

I do not remember my first T206 purchase, but it was in the 80's and I had 80 of them including 10 HOFers when I took a break from the hobby in 92. I got back into buying T206s when I decided to check ebay out in Oct. of 00. It took 4 1/2 years with no real intention of finishing the set until about a year ago. I first stared trying to get all the Cubs and picking up HOFers. I would occasionally pick up lots and pretty soon I had a good chunk of them, so I started working on other teams and then going after the SLers. Then it was a matter of getting the Cobbs at a reasonable price. Once those were out of the way it was cruise control. I also have back variations from UZIT on down (I still hope to get a DRUM).

It is good to know I am finally done with the T206 set, know for that elusive T202 Too Late for Devlin, Matty/Devlin (Rustlers).

One curious question, How many of you out there have the complete set minus the big 5 or less (which do you have?) Either post on board or drop me an email if you don't want it known and I will keep it confident.

For of you out there still working on the set. :-D

It was a fun journey,
