Total Cost for T206 Set

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

I don't have a set budget.

A beater set could be done for under 7500...not including Magie, Demmit, O'hara.

You are looking at about $12k for a beater set, $25-$28k for a low grade 1 and 2's set.

Each month you will receive a card in the mail, along with a brief description of each player. Ever wonder why Mike Donlin had the nickname Turkey? Well, you'll find out that fun fact and so much more when when you purchase The Monster! Offer not valid in Tennessee. Shipping and handling included in the price. The O'Hara and Demmitt cards, along with some select HOF'ers, will be withheld until the end. Back may include any of the following brands: Piedmont, Sweet Caporal, Polar Bear, Sovereign, EPDG, American Beauty, Hindu, Cycle, Old Mill and Tolstoi. You may cancel your order at any time. T206 cards may cause hair loss and loss of friends. Consult a doctor if conditions persist.

All of the above fall within the estimates that my recipe (see above) would estimate.
jlehma13 just didn't follow the directions to mix gently. He used a blender.

[jlehma13]

Haha. Most of my cards look like they spent time in a blender!

I am guessing I finished mine in the $15,000 range, the Ohara being the card that set me back the most, the Cobb bat off finishing second. I have it insured for $25K because it would take that to replace it. There are a lot of 1s and 2s, but not many beaters. I had the advantage of getting a good start (first 100 cards or so) on the cheap. I have also been upgrading, but I sell the card I replace so it isn't all that expensive.
