Hi friends - I’m jumping into the T206 game again after being a somewhat passive participant since the mid 80s. Sitting at 169 cards with a few doubles. Justin and Jay lay out a 2 year window and $25k budget for getting to 520. I went from 140-something to 169 in two months here. I’m giving myself about 8 or 9 years to complete (we have a lot of work to do on the house).

The thing is: completing this is within the realm of possibility. 520 is the magic number, but what about one of those Big Four? Doyle and Wagner are out. Plank is really high - but Magie does seem within the budget. Instead of buying a hot rod when I retire, a Magie seems like a decent trade off. What do you budget for it, I guess, that is the question.
