Default t213-3 set finally Completed
Well, I think it took me about 7 years, but I have finally put this baby to bed...will still try some upgrading along the way, as the grades range from top to bottom, but for now my bank account is just happy to be done.

the set is listed here, just dont have the Davis graded yet...

Wow...you wouldn't think completing the T213-3 was possible, considering how uncommon they are. Nice collecting achievement, that's for sure.

I've attempted a lot of tobacco sets, but would never think of starting this one. And in that condition? Wow.

Nice job.

Your experiences with this set might make a great article some day.

Good job, Rob. I know it took a lot of hours to track all of those down. Here are a few that I have. Would like to see some more scans and hear about which cards you found to appear more often than others.

Congrats!

I have always been outbid whenever I tried to win a type example. Completing the set is no small task.

I have been watching/collecting the T213's for the past few years. Putting together a full Type 3 set is nearly impossible.

Congratulations! What's next? Type 1's?
