Default Ego Time +++ SC 649s

Sweet Caporal 150 / 649 OP sub-set has been done before , and will be done again

BUT, it's a favorite of mine

ONLY 34 cards, but a FUN adventure:

649c2.jpg

Love them all, but had to pick four to high-light:

649c4f.jpg

Some GREAT HOFs, but Lajoie eeks out favorite.
Ewing has the most blatant "double factory."
Like the stamp on Powers, and it amazes me that he somehow made it over to Factory 649.
Gilbert, last card to finish.

Fun stuff, Scott

Very impressive Scott!!! You were at that for a little while it must have been challenging. I like the Ewing as well because I have the same card and the same back

Congrats!

I guess I've been wasting my time looking for a Pittsburgh player with that back. Seeing your complete subset explains why I haven't found one....ha!

My eyes have always been drawn to the factory 649 because of all that extra red ink. Congrats Scott on a fun subset.

First, I forgot to thank all the net54 members who helped me along the line. My T206 friend Dougscats has a great idea (that many I sure also use): Have a "source" column on your spread sheet. I don't -- BUT SHOULD especially with getting older --- In others words, you know who you are -- Thanks !!!

Phillip -- It took about a year to put them together, kind'a tough -- A good variety of cards. Can't say any are tougher than others, just have to wait for'em.

Michael -- They are just in my binder, alphabetically like "normal."

Jeff -- What's next ???!!! HAHA, first I thought of going after ~280 EPDGs, but that's ridiculous
Just staying with my "addiction" ---> as many mid-tier backs as I can....... I guess there's no rule saying it can't be 100% one day ......

Great, Scott

Nice 649 back run!

I enjoyed your article on Luke's website about T206 Polar Bear backs. We should chat sometime about Polar Bears, maybe at a National over a beer. I'll buy, if you don't drink beer, then you can buy me one.
