Default Nearing completion ??

Posted By: Steve M.

The longest?

I think that maybe completion of my W601 Sporting Life Postcard set is taking me the longest. I've been at it for over ten years and am stuck on one for completion. (Anyone have a Detroit for me?)

Second is probably the 1906 Ullman New York Giants postcard set. Need three for completion, two are I think attainable, the third (Henry Mathewson) probably not. It may be that I'll have to wait for someone to die to get that one.

T206 (minus the Big 4) took me less than a year.

C46 Took a little more than a year.

I'm now working on the 1911 Zeenut set (13 to go but surely the toughest)and expect that it will take me the rest of my life to complete, if ever.

That's what makes this hobby so interesting for me. The challenge of completion. And that's why I always have something in the works. There is never the "ultimate" goal. There are always a number of goals. Finish one and move on to the next.
