Monster Slain!!!!
Well at least my version of slaying the Monster. Thanks to fellow board member Pete Sycks, I obtained the final card needed to wrap up this 2+ year project...the Green Cobb.
I say my version because I decided to stop at 518. The big 4 are just unattainable at this time and I'm not terribly motivated to pay the money needed for Demmitt and O'Hara when the almost identical cards already reside in my set. I have a little over 100 cards graded (mostly HOF'ers) with an average grade of 2 and the rest are in my binder and average Fair condition. So excited to have completed the set...maybe I'll change my mind on the Demmitt and O'Hara, but for now I'm on to the T205's...25% done with that already!!! Thanks to all of my fellow board members who helped with this journey! Probably bought at least 20+% of the set from you guys! Great community! Cheers! JT

JT congrats on slaying the Monster !!! Nice green Cobb to finish it off with!
What would you guesstimate your set would do if it were to be auctioned off at 518 ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Johnny,
If you did this in less than 3 years, that's pretty impressive. Congratulations on that accomplishment.
