I started this set a little over a year ago as well. Working on a low grade set...1's, 2's, 3's. The T205's have always appealed to me more than the T206's for some reason. Plus it's a fun and relatively affordable prewar set to work on.

Thus far I have 48 cards:

6 HOFers (best would be Johnson)
10 SP's

One cycle back for sure, not sure on the breakdown of others off hand.

[Big Six]

Hey Steve...I, too, am a big fan of the T205's and started working on this set in the past year or two. So far I have 30 cards in either VG or VG/EX...most are SGC slabbed (the Gold borders look fantastic against the black background) though I grab PSA examples when they are priced right.

The break down is as follows:

Hall of Famers: 8 (Brown, Clarke, Jennings, Marquard, Mathewson, Speaker, Wallace & Wheat)

Backs:

Piedmont Blue 25 – 10
Polar Bear – 4
Sweet Caporal Red –
Sweet Caporal Black 26 –
Sweet Caporal Black 42 – 6
Hassan Green 649 – 3
Honest Long Cut – 4
Sovereign - 1
Cycle - 1
Hassan Green 30 –
Peidmont Blue 42 –
American Beauty Black –
American Beauty Green – 1
Broadleaf Black –
Broadleaf Green –
Hindu –
Drum –
Blank -

And my favorites:




The McElveen is a particular favorite because this was the first vintage card I ever owned. I remember having this card back in the mid-1980s but somehow it got lost along the way...I picked up a new one a couple years ago and that got me started on the set.

[EvilKing00]

T@yl0r, Mark and anyone else who's interested.

I see you guys said your not sure of the backs u have. I know its hard to keep track, I have a pretty cool chart that I created, with each card, back info, grade, etc.

I can send you guys a blank one if you like to fill in with what you have its a great way to keep track.

If anyone wants one just email me, with T205 Chart in the subject line.

My number is 87 total
8 - Minor Leaguers
20 - HOF
12 - Short Prints
9 - versions

I also do not worry much about backs so I don't know the breakdown, except for that have at least 1 each of the more common backs and that 18/87 are Piedmont 42s which I do pick up from time to time.

Funny Scott .

Evil, I have about 38-40% of the set. I think it is a gorgeous set. I have a number of the gold/green border edge cards which I thought were kind of neat.

I will finish it one day.

I've got 38, 7 of them are Bergens. Great thread!

[VoodooChild]

I'm slowly putting together a Pirates team set (seems pretty attainable since there is no Wagner). I only have 7 so far. I haven't really paid as much attention the the backs like I do for my T206 set. I only have Sweet Caps, Pieds, and Polar Bears included in my 7 so far. I also plan on picking up a few American and Minor League subjects so that I have all three designs represented in my collection.

[peterb69]

Marc, the Hoblitzell 'No Stats'. Very nice indeed.

Josh, you are Mr. T205.

[dog*dirt]

I am not sure what my current number is but I do enjoy picking a few up when I can. Thanks for starting the thread! Here are a few fairly recent pick ups.

hey Zack,

I have been looking for a green border, to add, I don't have any yet. Seems every time I find one its pretty beat up, and hard to tell if its gren or just really badly chipped, lol.

[tschock]

Steve,

From all us T205 lovers, GREAT THREAD!

103 bars of lovely gold. Not sure of the breakdown, but your post is a good prompt for me to figure it out. Thanks!

I completed my set about ten years ago. It is still hanging on my wall. I can't remember the backs, probably commons. The cards are mostly very goods.

My gold count stands at 63 with 11 HOFs
