Mike Tucci (18colt)Congratulations! I hope to join your club in the next 1-2 years.
I bought my first T-206s as a kid in the mid-1980s at a live auction from an antique dealer at a fire hall. Then, I took about 10 years off, and then rediscovered the beauty of the cards. I still need 43 cards, but have Demmitt St. Louis and all backs except Ty Cobb back, and some oddities like red Hindu, brown Lenox, Broadleaf 460, and brown Old Mill. My cards are with few exceptions beaters (if graded, likely "authentic", 1's, and 2's). I, too, will be skipping Doyle, and likely Wagner and Plank (unless I get one by accident or win Powerball). Outside shot at Magie down the road (still kicking myself for passing one up for $800 several years back).
Again, nice job. I, too, wonder how many of us have this set (or are almost there).
