Congrats Mike for completing the set and knocking down that last king pin in Donnelly. It is funny you mention David Festberg for your first card purchase as I also purchased my first T-207 Red Sox from him sometime in the mid 90's.
I do love this set and read the VCBC Part 1 and 2 articles all the time and although I concentrate on completing pre war subsets of Boston American cards, I have thought quite a bit about trying to complete this set. If I do a complete pre war set this would be the one, maybe soon
. Nice job and congrats again Mike.
