Hi Everybody
Congratulations Mike on completing your T 207 set. I started my set in
2001 and finished in 2004. It was a bear of a journey but enjoyable. I got lucky
at the Fort Washington show in September of 2002 when I came across a
dealer who had just purchased a near set of the brown backgrounds.
When I saw the four stacks of cards he had I became very excited and nervous.
Well I spent all of the cash I had on me. Forty-one cards at one show. He had many of the
tough cards like Donlin,Downey,Butcher,Rasmussen,Tyler,Ragan,Gregg, Blanding, etc. He had the
Ward Miller but I was broke. I made arrangements to send him a check
for the Miller. The forty-one cards brought my total to 173 cards.
I stll needed the Lewis,Saier,Lowdermilk,Speaker,Weaver,Thomas,Bauma n,White,
Phelan, plus others toughies and Livingston C,which was the last card I got from Dan M to finish the
set.
While bidding for 207's on ebay I noticed a familar name who would always be
a regular bidder Bob M.
TBob was the guy who helped me the most,sharing his knowledge of the set
with me, anwering all my questions and going head to head with me on ebay
battling for cards. We partnered along with Dan M to win a three card auction in
one of Lew Lipset auctions. I got the Lewis with emblem card i dont remember what
the other two cards were now.
I am now in the process of doing a bit of upgrading to my set.
