I've been in a couple of these "cabal ventures" with Brian, it's a group going in together on a lot of cards in an auction. A few little fish forming one bigger fish. Sometimes the splitting up the cards is the funnest part.

Nice job on the T204's Brian. Beautiful cards!!

Wow, awesome job! Love the set myself.

Great set! Nice job!

Congrats Brian I know you put some time into that set. Wish I could have helped along the way. Great job to all those that did!

Congrats Brian. Completing all of the T204 commons is a nice feat. I doubt all of the HOF'ers would be as difficult. Good luck in the next quest (or with the continuation/upgrade of this one). The hunt, and it's myriad twists, is always a large part of the fun.

Congratulations, Brian!

That's great Brian, nicely done and congrats.

So how are those e107s coming along?

Is Pelty a difficult card, or just a popular player? I see there have been 30 of his cards graded by PSA/SGC(which is lower than some commons), while some .182 hitting no-glove shortstop like Tom Reilly has just 23 cards graded. That bum looks like the tough one!....PS Congrats on finishing the project!

Great Job Brian !

I finally got the only Ramly I wanted a few months ago:

Cliff Blankenship - the first Major Leaguer born in my hometown.

It's graded AUTH by SGC, but looks much better to my untrained eye.

I hope you enjoy having your completed set as much as I enjoy having my single!

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the kind words. It was nice to hear from a good group of my hobby buddies (new and old) in this thread and I certainly hope all of you are doing well and succeeding in your hobby-related projects as well

A few comments -

Steve - still plugging away on the e107s. Will focus on those more now that the t204s are done. I guess you could call the e107s my main project now

John D - Pelty is tricky as he's a Jewish player and I believe one of the very first ones known in the game. I had him pegged as one of the very toughest cards I needed to find and I felt that, while he wasn't the final t204 I needed for completion, I spent years asking for Pelty in particular so he ended up being a pretty big challenge. I ended up needing to buy a large group of t204s in REA just to get my first. Then, I was lucky enough to have that TTT example show up in Love of the Game auction a couple months later so I snagged it too.

Daryl - I hear you on the HOFers....I will likely do those eventually. There's a very small number of those in the set...16 I believe. A couple biggies though. For the time being, I think I'll upgrade some of the beaters I have and maybe go after some tougher HHH/blank backed examples of common players.
