Very nice Nate! I like the topps206 swatch card thrown in there, cool addition to the run.

I think you still need a Schulte back view Tolstoi...I happen to have one

Hey all, here is my Pirates team set (18 Minus the Wags of course) display that I am working on. So far 44 out of a possible (209 +/-).

the second shot is my excel matrix to keep track. the red blocks are the cards in hand. the other colors are the cards still needed. the lower green blocks are what I paid for each card.

I wrote a little Photoshop script to make grids of any size based on rows/columns and gutter width. I then digitally "cut" the cards out of their slabs and past them into the grid.

Saves time but MSPaint is fine.

I wondered if you had manually entered code into some type of imaging software, seeing as how they always looked so gosh darn perfect! I've manually entered some conditional code into Excel for my spreadsheet to speed up organization, and I prefer it to Access but haven't dabbled with Photoshop. Though fairly competent, I can guarantee I am not nearly as proficient at it as you are. I could be wrong, but I'm assuming this was done on the full, "purchased" version?

Your way is definitely more time-efficient...

MSPaint sufficed, but it sure took a good while.

I still manually cut, straighten and clean up slab/edging on each f/b...takes awhile as you know, but the grid at least keeps everything evenly spaced and centred. Excel scripts really do help

Progress as of January 2014 - 161 Total, seem to have hit a major slow patch, one of many I'm sure, but it doesn't help when I get outbid by $3000 on a Tinker

Thanks Chris, seeing your multiple runs, as well as many other Net54 users' runs is what made me have the itch to go for it. Long way to go still, but am almost to the half-way point. I edited the grid while the wife drove on our way to a family gathering a couple of hours away, made me car-sick and nauseous as it always does - but well worth it...

[atx840]

Now that is an impressive run!

Beautiful run so far...just awesome to have them set up like that!
