Congrats Matt and Turner on finishing your T205 set. Remember chatting with Turner quite a bit back in the old days.

Matt and Turner,

Congrats on reaching your goal and putting together a fine set! I wish my dad had an interest in cards. You guys are very lucky to have each other in the collecting game. You two are certainly some of the classiest guys I've met from the board.

Best,

Andy

Matt: It was nice to see you and Turner in Baltimore. You have raised a fine son. Congratulations to you both for a great hobby accomplishment. People aren't knocking off Master Sets every day.

Great post,

Funny how a little piece of cardboard from 100 years ago can in some way connect folks. Oddly enough my very first t-card ever and the one who got me hooked as a kid was the very same card a T205 Vaughn.



I have always said I would sell all one day but the Vaughn card will never go.

Congrats on a huge accomplishment and one amazing looking set!

Cheers,

John

Matt

Great story, congrats and thanks for sharing. Your and your sons T205 master set is really well balanced and a great accomplishment. I bet the bonding time with your son (hi Turner) was far more valuable though. Now what's next? Most of the fun is in the hunt!!

Matt,
Always one of the highlights of The Nat to run into you and Turner. Congrats on a fine set and an even finer son.
