Default T202 Triple Folder Set COMPLETED!
WOW! FEEL THE RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After about 25 years of collecting this very cool issue, I have finally finished my set! What a joy it will be sliding that final card into my binder and then flipping through looking at the completed work!

Now deceased card dealer and collector Tony Carafield (spelling?) got me started on this set many years ago when I bought a group from him at a Philly show. Thank you Tony!

And thanks to a very good friend on the West Coast for selling me the final card I needed! Nothing but love for you brother!

Oaks (PA) Show is scheduled for April 27-29th.

I expect a good crowd since the Valley Forge show has been rescheduled to June.

Default Wow !
Dan - Congrats! 25 years is a heck of a long time to collect one issue. Really cool you stayed with it and didn't go a different direction.

Hope to see you in Baltimore !

Congrats! It feels good to build up a set or subset. Just out of curiosity what grade(s) were you mainly going for?

I usually collect VG/EX or better, no creases and corners are more important to me than centering. That being said, this set ranges from VG to EX+. I will take some pictures tonight. Thanks everyone! Dan

That's great Dan. There's nothing better than the feeling of accomplishment (and relief) in finally completing a set. Best regards,

Did you win that in Goodwin? I won the Too Late for Devlin...Devlin (Giants)...to complete my set. Took me only 1/5 the time...about 5 years, but I have no condition requirements whatsoever.

Congrats!
