Woohoo! T206 HOF project complete!
 
Good Evening!

With the addition of this card, I have a representation of every Hall of Famer in the T206 set, except Wagner and Plank, which I'm pretty sure I will never own. My goals were: SGC graded, grades in the 30 - 50 range, and action shots instead of portraits unless the player had none. Feels great to be finished. If you care to see the rest, feel free to click the link in my sig. Thanks and have a great night!

Beautiful set - congrats. Never say never on the other 2.... Good Luck.

I remember we both started the same project around the same time. I ended up only getting about halfway done before having to drop out, but it's great to see that you got it finished. You have some great cards there, congratulations!! :D

Great job! 36 different Hall Of Famers is impressive.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Doug, it's been a long, fun road. I got the Bender from you! Thanks again.

That's an outstanding collection. Congratulations!

Well Done, You!
 
An impressive array of cards, and very quickly assembled, in my opinion. That would take me years...-Oh wait, -it already has!

very nice, and thanks for sharing.

but I gotta ask...what's next?!:D

Chris,

Great job. I too just completed the basic t206 HOFer set on SGC w/o Honus and Plank. I think your a few sets ahead of me in terms of the rankings. Now I'm trying to get all the different backs within the basic HOFer set by replacing common backs with difficult ones (anyone have a Carolina Brights HOFer to sell?). Good luck on the Goudey HOFers.

Wow! Thanks again for all the nice words.

No desire to expand the set in the near future. Way down the road? Maybe.

Nice cards! I like how you cropped the images. Congrats to you as well. I wasn't too concerned with getting different backs. I believe I only have 5: Piedmont, Sweet Caporal, Polar Bear, American Beauty and Sovereign.
