How Much Gold do you have??

[VoodooChild]

I'm slowly putting together a Pirates team set (seems pretty attainable since there is no Wagner). I only have 7 so far. I haven't really paid as much attention the the backs like I do for my T206 set. I only have Sweet Caps, Pieds, and Polar Bears included in my 7 so far. I also plan on picking up a few American and Minor League subjects so that I have all three designs represented in my collection.

Marc, the Hoblitzell 'No Stats'. Very nice indeed.

Josh, you are Mr. T205.

I have the Cubs team set, plus a couple of Zach Wheats and one McGraw...very cool set that I would love to start if I ever finish my Tobacco Cubbies team sets...

[T205 GB]

I have close to 180 all being AB 70%, pied 42 15%, and the rest are miscut scrap, miscuts, ghost, pb white, Latham HLC back period before A with 2 showing an upside down W

Hey Leon, your Hindu-WaJo would present itself much better if it were included in this WaJo lineup. So, how about putting yours in the upcoming B & L Auction?
Best,
Val

I started building my set over twenty years ago with the intention of getting every card in Excellent condition or better. Turned out to be much harder than I figured at the time! At this point I have all but two(?) cards (Matty Cycle & Collins yellow) (I also need Walsh - pink - if more than one exists...) Breakdown is 60% excellent or better, 30% very good and 10% lesser. I also have every back as well as some oddities.
I'll never catch Joshua but I love the set and I have started several "back" subsets including American Beauty (60% complete), Cycle (50% complete) and Honest Long Cut (35% complete).
Thanks for the thread! I am always glad to hear how much other collectors enjoy this set...

I thought Walsh pink is only a printing error?

and Val, my WOJO Hindu is staying put for now.

Ed, does this mean you have a Hobi "no stats"? I wonder how many are out there.

[dog*dirt]

I am not sure what my current number is but I do enjoy picking a few up when I can. Thanks for starting the thread! Here are a few fairly recent pick ups.

[JasonL]

and do you find that you are more or less conditions sensitive with this set than your other pre-war interests?

I find myself much more interested in the Authentic or altered examples of these cards than I am with other sets. If I can find a really sharp looking altered T205, I am much more likely to buy and enjoy it than I am with similar conditioned cards from the other pre-war issues...

is that weird?
