Dots Miller Big Glove Run COMPLETE

[ullmandds]

I do believe my dots miller w/big glove tobacco/caramel/bread run...is finally complete. It's taken 15+ years...and without help I never could have finished it.

I'd especially like to thank DJ (e92 nadja) , Mac (T216 mild and sweet) and Steve (T216 VE) for helping me with 3 of the toughest Millers...numerous others for constantly pointing out dotses in auctions and offering up examples to gauge my needs.

Here is a checklist of my run along with rough population estimates. It's interesting to note the scarcity of more than 1/2 of these issues...esp compared to production #'s of T206 esp rare backs.

e90-1 75
e90-1(sunset) 4
e92 blankback 1 I know of atleast 3
e92 crofts candy: 10 total all colors no differentiation in most cases
e92 crofts candy black
e92 crofts candy blue
e92 crofts candy red i know of 3 I think
e92 crofts cocoa 15
e92 nadja 2
e101 23
e102 10
e105 5
e106 22
d303 3
d303/t216 blank back scrap thingy 2
T216 many undifferentiated regarding backs 7 total all backs
t216 Kotton NGO
t216 Kotton extra mild
t216 Kotton mild and sweet
t216 mono 2
t216 virginia extra 1...I've seen another

I suppose now i'll try to upgrade a few.

Does anyone know of any other T/D/E runs that are complete???

Spectacular. Congratulations on achieving the near-impossible

[Casey2296]

Unbelievable Pete, congratulations on an incredible run.

[mrreality68]

Nice Pete, I have been seeing some of these cards from you for years. Was the T216 Mild and Sweet the last one to complete your run?

I think you probably have the longest run for ecards with the t and d's included. I think Brian had a thread that listed the subjects that had the most possible examples across all types.

I have a McGraw VE and picked up a blank T216 and picked up a few more and sort of stopped looking. Anyone going for one would need the board's help from each back specialist. Congrats

id like to see that blank backed mcgraw compared to the VE. There are a lot of possible mcgraws I bet! I know Jennings and Chase have some of the greatest possible...along with Dots I believe?

I bought a new laptop. I have the scans on my old laptop and will see if I can post some scans from it. I haven't been able to get my new laptop to work with my old scanner. I have posted the cards before and will see if I can find the thread. I was told the blank was a T216, I don't know how it's possible to tell. I think it was from a Goodwin auction about 10-12 years ago.

Edit- here is Brian's thread. We discussed the Mcgraw blank, and I posted it in the thread (DJ's thread)

your mcgraw BB has huge top/bottom borders...I love it!!!!! I wish more was known about this find that I believe Bill "Mr Disney" Goodwin brought to market.

I think you might be referring to this post (https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=271453) where Brian provided a rough outline for possible runs without counting the nuances each particular set. While no where near as impressive as Pete's, the closest I am to a complete run is on the Davis. I'm still missing Cocoa and black Croft, if it exists.

That was a good one, too, DJ. I'm not surprised to see Lobert and Bescher up there. I should go for those, as I already have a few from a few sets.

[Rhotchkiss]

Pete, that is F-ing amazing! Congrats. Hugely difficult accomplishment

I mean a Virginia extra and red Crofts (not to mention a blank and a scrap)!

Very cool to see all 3 Crofts together

[Clutch-Hitter]

Wow, fantastic run!

[BioCRN]

Close, but not quite...

You still need to locate the Purple Wave Diamond Shimmer Gold Refractor Laundry Tag Patch Relic Auto. Good luck.

[WillowGrove]

Big congrats Pete! Really cool to see you complete what you set out to do.

[MuncieNolePAZ]

Incredible. Congrats!

Pete, a near impossible accomplishment. Well-done! But now it's time to start on the upgrades. Maybe not.

[darwinbulldog]

Most impressive. Gives me hope on completing all of my comparatively easy runs and sets.

[stutor]

Wow. 15 years!!! Amazing. Your persistence definitely paid off. Congrats.

[glchen]

That's an incredible back run, Pete. Congratulations!

[deadballfreaK]

Congrats, Pete. I seem to remember contributing. I can't remember the trade, but I think it was that D303 was once mine.
