Finally completed the set in 2010 after 4+ years pursuing it. Had much help along the from other board members, many of whom had already completed it at least once.

My particular devil is/was the Donnelly - this was my last and best card.



Couple of highlights along the way - Broadleaf class




and some tough cards for the grade Recruits:

Great cards Mike

Sure makes the offered set in Goodwin pale in comparison.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

Bill, glad to see your effort continues - fighting through competition from sub-set builders will always be a challenge when chasing the larger set. There are others that are - whether they know/admit it or not - pursuing the same goal.

Scott - don't know if you remember or not, but I got a bulk lot from you from the B/S/T back about 5 years ago - that was a real kick-start to the set for me - thank you again. I haven't reviewed the Lewis (no-emblem) content on the board in a while, but was surprised to hear your thoughts that the population is probably less than 10.

While these these sorts of discussions often turn in to show and tell (and I had to join in this time) I really get in to the other aspects of the sets - T207 in particular. As you know, this set has enough intricacies to keep it interesting and like its more popular brother, more is being learned all the time with new cards appearing when least expected (Red Cross find, Heritage Anon group).

Though I have been fortunate enough to pick up some nice cards - often in group purchases with other board members - I'm finding the research more and more interesting and look forward to more of that. On the plus side, that aspect of the hobby is infinitely more cost effective.

There could be more than 10 Lewis No Emblems, it appears PSA has graded 7(and probably no crack outs) and SGC at least 2(either of which could have been PSA cards, but unlikely, perhaps more. There are at least two raw ones, so maybe I should say 10-20, still a very rare card in any issue with numbers of this small.

Board members please post one if you have it.

Scott,

Thanks - wasn't questioning, just curious. I'd only seen the couple that have been auctioned off over the last few years in the major auction houses and had never looked at old auction reports for details on others. Haven't been involved with the set enough to have long-term memory on the subject.

Would love to see scans as well if any one (else) has 'em.
