T201 complete (Finally)

[Rob L]

So, I am curious as to everyone's upgrading tendencies. I wanted to build a mid-grade T201 set which meant I had at least four cards that would were either grade or would be graded Poor/Fair at best. It didn't get to me until two weeks ago when I was buying lucite holders for seven or eight loose cards that I had. When going through them, I decided I must find upgrades that were VG at minimum. The Poor/Fair cards have now been upgraded and I think I feel better about the set. Do most of you do similar things or are you content with set you collected once your done. BTW, the set now ranges from Good to EX-NM (and I don't have a problem with the cards graded Good).

Hi Jamie. Toughest for me, believe it or not, was the Leach/Gibson. The last 11 that I needed were all commons but I had liked the Leach/Gibson card for some time and would have picked it a few years back if I had seen it. It was all commoners for the last. All of the cards that I upgraded were commons. I have had all of the HOFers for a few years.

Nice set Rob. Regarding upgrades, I usually continue to upgrade a set until they are all in the same range of grade. I am probably in the minority but I generally do not sell duplicates either. I had fun completing the T201 as well. Good luck on your '55 DH set.
