He doesn't have the Wagner or the Plank in the registry -- its 97.37% complete.

Not impressed.

Not impressed.

And started with $200K... me too, not impressed.

To put such a set together so quickly would, of course, require the requisite funds. Strangely, I can't find his set on the registry.

He put the set together in 8 months and then promptly sold it? To each his own, enjoy the hobby as you like, but I don't get it. I like the thrill of the chase too, but like to retain my prizes for at least a little while. Oh, who am I kidding, I hate to sell!

I don't get where the 8 months comes from. He bought his first one in 1987. Maybe 8 months for the serious push to complete it, but not 8 months overall.

It's really just checkbook collecting, which is fine if you're into that.

The things I could do with 200 thousand.......It'd be one H*** of a weekend

Color me unimpressed also.

No Wagner.

No Plank.

Having a significant amount of funds to throw at the set and buying from large dealers and auction houses.

Sells when he gets it "completed" (I read it as got bored).

Woop de doo.

I am MUCH more impressed with stories on this board of people with average incomes and families taking years to put sets together with extra income when they have it.

I could win the lottery and put a COMPLETE T206 set together in a short amount of time also. The ONLY thing impressive about that would be is that I would make SURE I had a Wagner in the set (I know where one is hiding in a long time collection).

Agreed...terribly unimpressive feat!
