My favorite passage:

The I80 Kinney set he is referring to is now know as the N224 Kinney Military set. He knew of 603 with 15 to 20 possible......good guess since it's now known to be 622 cards. I have been collecting it actively for 12 years and have been stuck at 612 cards for the last 5-6 years with only 1 of the 10 I am missing coming up for sale in that time. No wonder nobody has ever completed it, although the British museum is short just one and a member of this Board (he who has the near-set of T215 Pirate cards) is short just 3 of them.
