FURTHER UPDATED -- T206 524-Card Set Complete & On PSA Registry

[Rhotchkiss]

I was lucky to come across a collector willing to part with his Wagner and Doyle Nat'l. This means I now have all of the "Big 4" from the 524-card T206 set. Here they are- I thought it would be very cool to see them in one place, especially on this board with so many T206 enthusiasts.

Wowsa....congrats!

Well done, Ryan. I can hardly wait for the next collector get together you host for show & tell (like the one you did a few years ago). But this time, you may need to hold it at a banquet hall or some other large facility, because attendance will likely be off the charts!

Congratulations Ryan.

Well done. Enjoy.......

[Jdoggs]

Nice congrats!

[chriskim]

That's a nice Plank but only graded 2.5? Got to has paper loss on the back.

Ryan, time to get the Cobb back if u don't have one yet.

[BeanTown]

Ok, a couple of questions. First off big Congrats and bigger kudos for posting on here as many collectors are private.

1. What's your favorite out of the group and why?

2. Is it safe to say we will not be seeing them all in SGC holders in the near future?

My favorite is the Plank, as that card hits my eye right.

P.s.
Please don't start collecting Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson, baseball currency, cabinets, and postcards. 😆

Absolutely an amazing accomplishment. Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Have there been any public sales of a complete 524 card T206 set and if so by which auction house?

[Bridwell]

Congrats, Ryan! Awesome cards!

Not a chance for a complete set from an auction house. I believe I’m the only one with all 524, but now 522. It took years to acquire the Wagner and the Doyle.

The only one what, with all 524? I know of at least one other member, and probably more, with 524.

I’m not challenging you, Leon. I’ve never seen an auction house auction all 524 and no published registry I’ve ever seen has 524. It’s certainly possible in a private collection but very very rare and just the number of Doyle’s makes it very rare.

The only people that I know who have completed the 524 set are Larry and Jeff Fritsch and Powell. The Doyle was only known to Fritsch until Bill Huggins discovered the 2nd one in 1987 which Fritsch bought. I have never seen a set for sale either complete or by the individual cards.

It was a different era (not sure if this counts) but my father had acquired 523 by 1972. Doyle error had not yet been discovered, of course. His set plus printing errors and other interesting oddballs sold through Lew Lipset in 1984.

With ~57 Wagners there have been several complete sets and I have seen a few sold in the same auction. It is a great accomplishment. With only ~9 Doyles it becomes much tougher to get 524. There may be a few others in the last ~30 years that have done 524 but just not made it public. We know that 1 is in Richard Russell’s collection, so only 8 possible sets with 2 complete, assuming Fritsch hasn’t sold either of theirs, plus Powell’s now broken up. This is only the 10th known sale of a Doyle and only 2 of the 9 have been known to sell more than once. It is nice to see Ryan interested in filling out the 524 as the Doyle belongs in a set in my opinion.

Ryan,
I really appreciate you sharing your cards with the forum. Makes owning a Wagner feel "real" .............. like something "one of us" can achieve........ not to mention the Doyle, Plank, and Magie.

cheers, and have a great week everyone
Tony
