" It's A (Net54) Family Affair "....in completing red HINDU Exclusive 12 sub-set

[atx840]

Nicely done Ted, stoked you got the Sheckard!!

I've only seen one other complete run of these, not an easy or cheap task. Congrats.

[DerekMichael]

Wow Ted. You did it! That is wonderful.

No need for thanks. After all, "thats what friends are forrrrrrrr"

It is funny you mention Sly and the Family Stone. In 1971, my Dad was working for a collections agency, and my Mom was for working for the company that managed Sly and the Family Stone. I cannot recall the name of the management group or the venue that this took place, but after a big gig, the band decided to relive the venue of some of their equipment. It was my Dad's job to retrieve it, and after being passed around by this management group via phone he ends up meeting a young lady named Athena on the other end of the line. They got to talking, long story very, very short, they were married three months later and still are today.

I always get a fuzzy feeling when I hear that band mentioned. Ringo too, because hell, he is a Beatle!

This is a seriously great accomplishment Ted. You have done some really amazing work on these 12 subjects you refer to as the "Exclusive 12". I am not sure if you want to post them in this thread, but I would love to also see your Sovereign 460 and American Beauty 460 Exclusive 12 sets as well.

The Monster can require a great deal of dedication, and it is always fun to see someone complete one of their missions.

Συγχαρητήρια !!!

Jantz

Thanks, good buddy.

My next adventure continues with these 12 guys on a tougher challenge than these red HINDU's. Completing an OLD MILL run.

To date, I'm only 1/3 of the way to the finish line............






They ain't too pretty; anyway, I take them any way I can get them. Trust me guys, these dudes are extremely tough to find.

Congrats Ted.

And thanks for sharing the acquisition timeline -- that was a nice touch.

Back in 2005, I decided to break up my T206 set to work on an all - PIEDMONT set. I was fascinated by this Zach Wheat in this set.
So in parallel with my PIEDMONT set adventure, I started working toward completing an AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 (74-card) sub-set.

As a consequence of my AB 460 search, it was obvious that certain AB 460 cards (especially 12) were more available than others in
the 460-only Series. And, this observation resulted in my Exclusive 12 theory.
















At the Oaks (PA) show in 2011, I acquired this Gandil to complete my Exclusive 12 / AB 460 sub-set.

Todd Marcum and I were set up at adjacent booths; and, we worked out a great trade. I traded 44 cards [including a Dahlen (Brooklyn)]
to Todd, that got him to 500+ cards for his T206 set. Todd traded me this Gandil, and some miscellaneous goodies.

I appreciate your kind words.

I certainly wanted to give credit to the guys on this forum who were rooting for me to complete this challenge.
Without their assistance, I would probably still be searching for some of these red HINDU cards.

Incidentally, I have some interesting T206 news to share with you. I will call you this afternoon.
