I agree, James. I am in no hurry. Thanks. E95 will be one such set I will study...along with further T206 study. I will also check out the site you mentioned earlier.

One key aspect of the T206 set is the availability of the cards. Given an unlimited budget you can buy 518 of the cards RIGHT NOW on eBay. Granted, many are simply over priced. There are also a number of great deals on the BST board. Finding the card you can want at a reasonable price is fairly easy if you are patient and not focusing on extremely high end cards. I'm at MN 510 now and the only thing keepin me from getting to 518 is budget. I've got some big HOFers to go. But they are always out there for sale. And generally at a reasonable price. I just need to build up the reserves a bit after some bigger purchases last year. Then I will make my next move to 511. It's gotta be a missing Cy for #511, doesn't it?

I am not a set collector, but several years ago I did finish "my" T206 set - all major HOF'ers in either 5 or 6 grade. Very happy with my choices. I haven't bought a T206 in couple years now, but get a big smile looking over the dozen or so cards I do have - no way selling anytime soon. T206's are so classic you just can't go wrong over the long haul with nice copies. Always consider centering.
