100 Card Type Set... I need you advice and expertise; please.

[Leon]

All of your list is obtainable except 1. That one will be very difficult.

Nice list; but you've left out the entire genre of strip cards just because they happen to be blank backed. You're missing out on some interesting and affordable types in my view.

I agree. Some of the strip cards are a little out there, but some are quite interesting. W517 for has become one of my favorites (the full body poses anyway!).

I wish OC had listed ALL the different ad backs (for T207, T216, D303, D304, etc.) on this listing, which would have made it extremely useful to me, as I am a type-card collector (as well as a collector of certain players). But, I guess OC's intent is for this listing to be a "set" listing, with more info re the ad backs available when one drills down ( or clicks) on the set name.
Best,

Val,
I see what you are saying. OC checklist is great for me ( a fledgling type collector)... I do have a spreadsheet that I downloaded after being led to it by a net54 thread. It seems to include different back types - I just checked t206 and M101-4. It has 2821 lines - a little overwhelming for me. The top cell says:"OBC TYPE CARD CHECKLIST DRAFT COPY #1 (UNVERIFIED) COMPILED BY DAVID HORNISH" Do you have this?

If you PM me with your e-mail I will send a copy of this your way. It's old, needs some work but is 99% accurate as of 20 years ago.

Thanks Dave, but I already have it. I was just checking with Val to see if he had it - sounds like what he was asking for.

A lot of work in that spreadsheet and I appreciate your willingness to share!

Tony, thanks for suggesting Dave's type card checklist. In the absence of having such a list, what I often do is refer to Leon's fabulous type card collection, which is available online (go the "Vintage Links" at top of the screen) for all to enjoy - I just wish that Leon also collected 19th Century cards and post-WWII cards!

Dave, thanks in advance for sending me your type card checklist, which is something I've put off creating for a long time. I've just sent you a PM with my email address, but here it is as well, just in case.

Best,
Val
