John(z28jd)When i bought my first t206 card about 12 years ago from Larry Fritsch's museum up in Cooperstown,I got a catalog and it was then that i decided i wanted one card of each player in the set.His prices were high so thats all that seemed feasible to me at the time.I bought cards off and on till i got onto ebay about 6 years ago. Then i started collecting the set in alphabetical order and was going fine till i got up to Browne,wash.
Not being able to find one on ebay for awhile i started buying all the back brands including a lot with 13 different.Up until then i was happy to just get every card from Elberfeld,wash on down but thru a loan from a family member i was able to buy a Demmitt so i decided to get the O'Hara at some point to.Due to good timing and another loan i was able to go one step higher and get a Magie which is the absolute line ill draw.My dads trying to convince me to get a Plank and i know he will help out with it but id rather have a s__load of old judges than one more T206 i never planned on getting
I then finished all the minor league cards and after i did that i finished buying all of the commons.I just finished the variations and Im now down to needing 27 cards for the set and 14 are southern leaguers,13 hall of famers with a planned finish time around xmas this year.
