Thanks guys! always nice to be recognized by your peers! I appreciate the comments...

Leon, for sure the thrill is in the hunt, was nice to meet you at the National. thanks again for this awesome venue to connect with like minded collectors. I would not have been able to accomplish this set without fellow members offering needed cards at friends and family pricing.

Steve - I was fortunate to start the set with 6 "freebies" from Grandpap otherwise would have for sure been over $2500. I do love the lithograpy on this set, the Bio's are a great snippet of history from the era. I have completed a Pirates team set (T205) as well, but I think that is as far as I will get with the gold borders.

I had quite a few commons I sold or traded to build the HOF set. Based upon the baseball cards I inherited, Grandpa was obviously a "Mecca Man" and that is where I am going to stay. I completed a basic double folder set and am still working on uprading and studying that set. I admit I am obsessed with the double folders, which are even less popular than the gold borders, but I still love'm.

I scored a bunch more folders at the National and am compiling another set. I think I have some exciting discoveries with regard to the set, but I will save that for another post.

thanks again for the Comments!!
