Ted ZanidakisPardon my contrariness.....but, let's be practical in our choice for the "1st
leg" of this "Grand Slam". So, my candidate for a 19th Century set is either
the N28....N29....N162....N284. The N172 set is just too "monsterous", and
I am not sure that anyone can boast having completed it in recent years;
which tells us it is virtually impossible, nowadays.
The obvious pre-WWI set is the T206 (520 cards)
Followed by the "between-Wars" set....the 1933 Goudey (239 cards)
And, the post-WWII set could be either the 1952 Topps (409 cards)
Or, if you dare....the 1949 Leaf set (101 cards)
If you allow me this modification, then I am in the Grand Slam club.
