T206 Johnny Kling Back Run -- Complete
 
Good afternoon, N54,

I had the privilege of completing this run after approximately 4 years' time this month. A big thanks to the N54 community for all support and help. A shout out to Bob for helping me find the last piece of the puzzle: SC 350 F.25. A word of thanks to everyone else who has helped me out with this project, including Ron and Luke who helped me secure the elusive Hindu. I also express gratitude for Ben, who inspired me to go for this run when he completed one of his own.

Thank you very much to Doug for helping me with the line-up!! You're the man!!

Kind regards and merry Christmas,
NJ

Congrats on completion, and one of my favorite T206 portrait cards as well...I have always loved the background colors.

I don't collect t206 cards but I always LOVE the back runs. Congrats.

I'm an old guy who hates Steve Jobs, even in the grave, so if you are a Mac guy I can't help you, but if not, then I am able to get everything done that I need using the "paint" program that comes pre-installed on every computer I have ever bought (since I decided that I hate Apple) and I also download the free Microsoft Photos 2010 software that they long stopped supporting, but still works better than it's replacements (for me). The combination of the two created this (and I could do it all in the paint program, I just have my ways, and they work for me) :

Very cool. It's always great when the final piece goes together.

What made choose Kling as your back run?

I think you have a youtube channel I enjoy.

Nothing better than a completed back run. Congratulations

That is awesome. Congrats!

Congrats, that’s a heckuva feat. Good player, too!

Great job on the completion of this back run. That last card you needed, the SC350/25 I ended up buying one literally a couple weeks before you came back looking for one. But figured one would come along at some point for you. It's nice to see the Hindu again. Those that know me, know that I very rarely trade anything. So there might be some jealousy from a few members. So what's next on the to do list? Upgrades or another player back run?

Congratulations NJ, Awesome Job

Thank you all so much for the kind words. I'm not sure what the next step is; this was really the pinnacle for me, and I'm grateful to have gotten this far. Doug - thank you so much for your help. I'll be in touch.

Happy collecting and merry Christmas,
NJ
