Bet you say that to all the boys. Nahnah, just kidding.
Red Sox team set is a splendid idea. Anyone have a quick checklist?

That would be a pretty realistic set to accomplish considering you have two of the toughies. It took me over 5 years to complete my cubs team set but I did include a cubs wrapper, three blank backs, a proof. I am only missing an autographed one which most likely wont happen.

Thanks very much Bill. Hooper is one M116 I'd love to land. Been the penultimate bridesmaid a couple of times already. Cicotte could be a toughie because of the Black Sox thing. Then there's the recently discovered Frank Smith - Boston which will be all but impossible. Otherwise the rest are probably gettable although some will always be tougher than others. Might just give it a whirl.

oh yeah I forgot about that Smith! Man what was Duffy Lewis problem? He is hardly in any of these sets

I think the M116's are undervalued. I agree that they do not have the same appeal as tobacco/caramel cards but they appear to be a lot rarer than T206's. In fact there are nearly twice as many T206 Planks than M116 according to the PSA pop report.
