So I've got a few sets going at the same time - Diamond Stars, 51' Bowman, 54' Topps and 56' Topps - but going to focus my efforts on T205 for the time being...so far, here's my progress to date:
- 41/215 - 7 HofF (Brown, Jennings, Marquard, Mathewson, Speaker, Wallace w/ Cap & Wheat) - all PSA 3 or SGC 40 except Chase - Both Ears (PSA 4) & Wheat (SGC 50) My latest pick ups below... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks Leon! I'm hoping to spend about $30-35 per common, but that is proving to be somewhat difficult...am I being realistic?

Yeap, as Conor mentioned. That ($30-$35) sounds about right. I will pay a little more for nicer cards regardless of grade. Here are my last buys including quite a few in the last 5-6 weeks. I expect it to eventually slow down a little...

Ok, I'll bite. The basic set is 208 and the master is generally considered around 222 (although more variations certainly exist). How did you decide on a goal of 215?
Great cards btw! I'm at about 80/2?? myself.

from what I have seen it all depends on condition. You can get some that don't look quite as nice for a fair amount less. I am trying to keep mine somewhat uniform...I have quite a few to add...

I've been working on the same set in about the same 3-4 range for a few years now. I've got most of the HOFs and SPs and a good amount of the verations but still need around half the commons.
Good hunting guys it's a fun and beautiful set. |

According to the label, it's the "One L" (misspelled name on back) version. I questioned it in my mind when I first saw the post three days ago, before I remembered that the variation is on the back. Steve

I put together an unimaginably horrible set. Here's a little website I did about the adventure. Most of the set are skins, but most of the key cards are at least fronts and backs.

My one and only T205. Stained Honest long cut back.
I really don't understand the backs on t205's. I have found dozens of the Otis Crandall crossed T's sold but can only find a few with Honest. Anyone have a good primer I can look at to understand cards/backs? IMG_6190.jpg |

There's just something about seeing the T205s all together like that. It seems most of the ones I see for sale are slabbed. I only own two or three 205s, and they are slabbed. Makes me want to buy some ungraded ones and free my slabbed ones, if I had the courage...

Late to respond but will have to check. Unlike almost all of my previous collecting I am not concerned with which backs these have any longer. At first I wanted to do PB and HLC backs because of the way the gold borders look. But now I am more focused on centering and chipping...a few added...
