T205 Cubs

[kmac32]

It is definitely an interesting set and looks like condition of cards could be an issue. Makes it a bigger challenge and not something that has to be done in a week. I like the idea of adding a little color to my collection that is not modern. Rome was nit built in a day so same will be true for T205 Cubs. Hopefully the goal of this set completion will be done long after the Cubs win a World Series.
Go Cubs Go.

If I counted correctly, 151 individual cards possible for different front back possibilities and only 4 HOFers. Let the collecting begin. Maybe I need to win the huge lottery to afford this project? :-)

As you probably already know, the two toughest Cubs you'll be hunting for are Kling and Pfeister with HINDU backs.

Furthermore, M. Brown and Richie with DRUM, BROAD LEAF, CYCLE, and AMERICAN BEAUTY (black) will most likely be very tough.

The hunt is what makes it fun. Not a project that has to be done any time soon but should be fun.

T205 Cubs collection is up to 85 cards with different backs out of 151 possibilities. Could be farrther along but I am selective about condition. Not necessarily looking for high grade but more for eye appeal.

That was quick accumulating past the halfway mark on your quest. May the rest only be twice as hard!

The start is always easy and it has been fun. Had some great deals and some not sogreat deals. Last month sent in 50 to SGC had 3 authentics, 3 10, and the resr were mixed with one card coming back an SGC 80. Did notice that SGC seamed to be rather lenient on grades for T205 but thats okay. Have some great opportunities for some rare cards but then some awesome E121 cards come up so have to stick to budget. What I really need is a national to go to and find the good stuff.
