This year, with the help of a top notch board member, I ended a 6, almost 7, year hunt for a T206 Gibson with a Hindu back. It took until last year to even see visual proof that the card existed, and then a few months ago, lightning struck.
I haven't taken delivery of this card yet, but once I do, I fully expect that I will lose any recollection that my original intentions for 2012 were to be basically inactive. Instead, I will set the Hindu next to the EPDG Gibson I have [only T206 holdover from my Gibson collection], and see nothing but 8 holes that need filling.
And so, for 2012 I'll set the modest goal of simply adding 1 or 2 T206 Gibsons back to my collection, in casual pursuit of a complete Gibson back run.
Thanks all, for sharing your progress and visions.
Best of luck in 2012 to all!
Regards,
Richard.
