Congrats Frank! Besides a cheap Hobby falling into your lap, what's next?

Thanks all for the kind words. It has been a blast, and I'm glad that we were able to finish before he heads off to college next year.

Daryl, I haven't quite decided between the T3s or Cracker Jack. I like each for various reasons, but I am leaning slightly toward the T3s. Whichever I choose, I won't tackle that until I transfer next summer as I've got quite a bit to do over the next year.

Steve, I"m sure you will reach that goal quicker than I did. It is great to see fresh new people who are interested in the set. It certainly doesn't get the attention like some of the other pre-war cards/set do. I got side tracked throughout the almost 6 years we have been collecting the set. The Hoblitzell "no stats" is the only card I'm missing. I'm waiting for one to fall into my lap as Daryl mentioned.

Thanks Peter, glad to be a part of the club. How long did it take you to complete your set?

Frank, I see your set on the registry every time I update mine. (and of course a few other guys here too)

Congrats for getting them all, its an awesome set! Way to go!

Thanks Brian. Like you, I see quite a few familiar people when I go to update my registry. It's pretty neat to see the progress and accomplishment of others on here. I hope that you will share a picture of yours (T205s that is) once you have completed it.

Andrew, Thanks again for your contribution not only to the hobby, but more specifically what you have provided for all the T205 collectors out here. I know some of us have different opinions about a particular subject, but it is great to see the collaboration that takes place on here.

Thank you Frank. I started as a collector a few yrs before you and wasn't familiar with the set. Then I found Net54 from a board member contacting me on the SGC registry and........well the rest is history from there. As time went there was a lot of unanswered questions and other things I started chasing and questioning. There has been a lot of help from others in the hobby and I want to send a big THANK YOU to all of them. We 205's guys have made leps and bounds in research in the last 5 yrs. Hope to continue on and unlock more of the secrets to the set. I do hope to launch into the hobby full time in the next yr or so(cross my fingers) and make a bigger ripple where it needs to be. If I come across a NO Stats I will hit you up. When your ready to upgrade your AB's and sell them let me know

Frank,
Seeing all of your T205s laid out like that is a beautiful sight! Congratulations on reaching a collecting goal! Those are really cool!
