520!!!! The Monster has been Tamed :)
Posted By: Jamie
Well it was a fascinating journey, and there are many Board members that I need to say thanks to for all the help!!! I started with just 1 card which I had for many years, and in December thought it would be cool to try to get to 520 completing the set minus the big 4. So in Dec I purchased my 2nd t206 off ebay and discovered Net54. From there I got hooked checking the BST and Ebay regularly for lots and deals here and there, selling off the doubles when I got any. |

What a great set! You will thoroughly enjoy your set, but the fun is putting it together, so what are you going after now? I have enjoyed reading about your set and watching you final stretch on the BST. As far as value I would think you could get $18,000+ in one of the big auction houses, no less for sure. Thanks again for sharing your scans. |

Congratulations Jamie! A great accomplishment that hopefully your grand kids will talk about one day. Although, I think you are "1/2" a card short; until you find the rest of that T206 Red Cobb. By the way, was that an upside down Cy Young I saw??? I'll give you $1000 for it (just kidding.....). |

Magie and plank are not out of the question either although spending 20K on 2 cards would be a long way away for me right now... |

And so cheap, too; well, you know what I mean. It is interesting how "litle" it costs and how readily a highly motivated collector can assemble a collector grade T206 short set. Upgrading as you've indicted will probably take you years more, but then that's the fun of this thing of ours. |

It is the Addams Family motto from their crest. I thought it was a good double entendre because my name is Adam and I am a lawyer who does a lot of plaintiff's litigation (hence I "feast" on defendants and their insurers). |

too much dam work went into completing this set. thinking it over I would be happier with a leaky roof and the set then a brand new roof and all my hard work in someone elses collection. |

This reminds me of my card collecting. I spend multiples of what I should on my personal collection. Quite some time ago my wife just quit asking about it. It keeps us both happier. Every time I spend more than I should I start looking for a few things to cull from the collection to make up for the funds spent. I am in that mode again.....(please no emails about selling things in my personal collection...it's something I have to do on my own)....So Jamie, I think most of us can empathize with you very easily.....Good luck with the task at hand.... |
