Default First Prewar Set Completed!
I started collecting prewar about three years ago, and finished my first (and favorite) set this month - T209-1. I live about an hour from Contentnea Creek, the namesake of the Contentnea cigarette brand in Wilson, NC. Minor-league ball has always been a big part of life around here, and I consider this set to be my "hometown" prewar set. Special thanks to Leon (via Heritage), Dave (ccre), and Royce for helping me along the way!

Would love to see more completed T209-1 sets from others...I know of at least a couple on the board.

Full Set

Congratulations! That's a nice set. Coincidentally, I finished my set a couple of months ago, thanks to an assist from the fine folks at BST Auctions. Crockett was my last card and it took me a lot longer than 3 years.

Congrats...impressive set for your first completion. I feel fortunate to have a battered card from this set for my type collection.

And someone get Ted a Booles to complete his set!

Hey Dan,

Congrats! It's certainly not an easy accomplishment. Now don't go and "hooked" on the T209-2's like I am now. Talk about tough ....geez!
