I started building my set over twenty years ago with the intention of getting every card in Excellent condition or better. Turned out to be much harder than I figured at the time! At this point I have all but two(?) cards (Matty Cycle & Collins yellow) (I also need Walsh - pink - if more than one exists...) Breakdown is 60% excellent or better, 30% very good and 10% lesser. I also have every back as well as some oddities.
I'll never catch Joshua but I love the set and I have started several "back" subsets including American Beauty (60% complete), Cycle (50% complete) and Honest Long Cut (35% complete).
Thanks for the thread! I am always glad to hear how much other collectors enjoy this set...
