So now I'm loosely working on two different sets of 25. One is 25 Detroit players, and the other is any 25 players. The second set is just nice cards that I've always wanted but never bought because they weren't Detroiters and didn't "fit" my collection - things like T206 Johnson Portrait, an E93 Phillipe at some point, etc.

good luck with your collecting. If you do as well on the rest as you did on the Matty, it'll be great!

From one Detroit collector to another "Where have you been Joann"?
