Congrats !! That is truly an amazing feat !

[Scott L.]

Thanks guys. I bought quite a few cards from Matt and some cool auto's of Joe Doyle and Paddy Linvingston from Steve that make awesome companion pieces to my set.

As for what's next I'm 6 cards in to an E96 set. A little smaller and easier on the wallet! They don't seem to be for sale that often (at least on ebay) so I think it will occupy me for awhile.

Matt

Next time you're in "Conshy" beers are on me!

[Mikehealer]

Congratulations, you should be proud. You are a pleasure to deal with, good luck with the E96 set.

[FrankWakefield]

Well done, Scott. A singular moment in one's collecting. It takes, discipline, patience, and a flow of dollars... A good way to end the old year.

why would anyone want to collect a set they can never finish ?

I've found in life, that some people, usually wise ones, find value in the process.

[Jantz]

Congratulations Scott!

How long have you been working on it?

Congrats Scott. Quite the accomplishment.

Matt is spot on. I like the process. I'm definitely a set collecter, I enjoy the chase of finding cards I need and the satisfaction of finishing. I admittedly can't get all the way there but if I win the powerball I'll get it done just for you.

[pkaufman]

I guess I am just a set collector at heart, but one of the reasons I have never begun to tackle the T206 set is the stumbling block of the last 3-4 cards.

[Scott L.]

Thanks Jantz

I started it about 2 and a half years ago. Paul Davidson was my first card.

I was a little sad that I knew couldn't remember and list all the people that helped along the way but I owe you a debt of gratitude. We did many deals and they were all top notch.

"thank you"

All I can say is Thank God the title of this thread was in reference to a baseball card set and not something more ominous. Congrats, Scott.

Errata: Scott that's a "Larry" Doyle.

Happy to help and happy to help get you started on e96 with the Murray.

Again, congrats!

Well done, Scott! Certainly something to be proud of. Upgrading should be enjoyable too if you decide to go that route.

I also have a 55 Topps set in PSA 5 and 6 that I'm missing the Clemente and a mixed raw and graded 52 Bowman set that I'm missing the Mantle and a common or two that I stopped on once I got into T206's. I'm going to try and finish those off as well.

Scott,
Congrats on a job well done!

congrats - nicely done. The monster nibbles at my toes every night. I enjoy the different backs, portraits, HOFers, stories, etc that go along with it. I feed the monster from time to time, but will never slay it. My 'sub' sets are fun. Whether its Cleveland players w/ different backs to same pose/different backs etc. I'm hooked. The UZIT Lajoie on eBay last month was a real test. I passed - but will bite someday (hopefully a lesser Naps player).... My son is 4 now and starting to 'enjoy' cards with me. Another generation is born... He loves looking at 'old baseball cards'.... Me too....
