Whoa.

That's a pretty amazing accomplishment, Tim. Congrats - I know what a great feeling it is to nail that last card when the set is super difficult to complete.

The last four uncatalogued ones are my favorites, though.

Congratulations!

Bob,
Thanks. It is an honor to be congratulated by the King of Caramels!
Al, Thanks. A few of these have come from your auction, and Rob....Thanks...See I told you I would forget somebody on my list that I have bought from over the years.
That's right....Greg... you too Thanks!
Anybody else, please remind me.....it brings back great memories of when I purchased a particular card.
Thanks Guys!

SO COOL. Congrats...I just love the organization and pursuit of a complete set. To have a complete set from 1910 is simply amazing to me, and the cards are beautiful. Some of the poses could have taken place last week, something I love about Baseball. The journey those cards were on until they all came together...and the fact it took you 12 years. Crack a beer...you earned it...

Congrats Tim! It's been a long time coming...glad you stuck with it! I think I like the 4 Kindler poses the best. Awesome that she got the colors right.

I (almost) know how difficult it is to stay the course on this set and I'm not sure it's been done before...so again, very nice job!

Rob

I'm sorry I posted in the middle...I wasn't aware of what I was doing!

I think what I value the most amongst my collection is the story in which every card holds. I could tell you how I received almost every card I own, the memory that each one holds, the friends I made along the way...all so special and carry a lot of meaning with me. I know most everyone knows what I'm talking about and some feel the same way as well.

It seems like you have a similar experiences with your collection as I do...they really do hold a special place within us. Outside of collecting, most people don't understand, but they are treasure to each collector. Congrats again on this monstrous feat...may your next quest be just as special and fun!

Mike

Hi Tim,

Tremendous accomplishment! Now you can do the same with the E94s -- check with Tbob on that, he'll tell you how easy it is, .
I'm glad to have made your list-
