Default Da Best

With apologies to Monster hunters , I still think this is the best baseball card set ever made.

I love seeing them all laid out like this, Dennis.

I have a full set of base cards, about 93% of the master set which has some silly priced variations, a tiny subset of Cycles, and duplicates on about half the set in case I shoot for another. My master set is part of the SGC Registry, where you'll see some familiar N54 names.

I tend to stick to which sets I love the best, so I probably will continue to acquire more of these at some point. I don't know if I want to go higher or lower grade (raw), but I love these cards.

Nice job on your set!
WHOOT!

Thanks guys, I'm missing a few variations like the hobby no stats that I don't feel compelled to go after. I'm not that into backs though I do have one of each except broadleaf, drum and Hindu.

Dennis,
Very nice accomplishment...

I have one near complete master set (missing only the Hobby no stats) and another complete front set.

Love this set...always looking for off-grade/lower condition t205s.

Default T205 Complete set

I remember back in the 1970's I was down to one card to complete the set and I was at a show and Lew Lippsett had it on his table....I told him it was the last card I needed....How Much? He said I can't sell it to you......I said why not.....He said because I'm giving it to you so you are complete now....Thanks, Lew

Congrats! I've been working on my set since 2003. Slowly chipping away. I'm getting closer and closer....

What will you do now? Upgrade or start a new set?

I was reading some old threads and found this comment and it reminded me of a similar occasion. I was finishing up my M101-4/5 back run many years ago. I was down to needing the Everybody's back. There was one in auction and it got away from me under curious conditions in an auction. I told the auctioneer about it, who was sympathetic and a friend of Lew's. Lew found out about and sent me an Everybody's card. I asked how much and was ecstatic. He said, just pay me what you want to. Lew can be a bit cranky but he has kind heart for collectors. He has helped me a lot with my collecting......

I've heard great stories about Lew. I am located probably within 25 or 30 miles of him. I've never actually interacted with him or met him before. I wish I could.

I've been upgrading here and there as well as adding backs (picked up a Broadleaf even!) Also there aren't too many things more satisfying in the hobby than upgrading a card and selling the old one to break even.
