T205 collectors

[rats60]

I am down to 5 cards. I have been trying to do psa/sgc 5 or better, so I will have upgrading to do once I find those. It has been really slow going as I get close.

Completed my low-grade set last month. All raw and in a binder with the exception of my Joss, Cobb, and WaJo. I started picking up low-grade commons and beaters when I was trying to complete my T206 set last year and just stuck with it.

I have to admit that I wasn't that enamored with the cards in the beginning. It was more of a side project for me. But unlike T206 where you'll get some 'dogs' in terms of the artwork, the artwork in the T205s is incredible throughout the entire set. They are great looking cards - the Mathewson is by far my favorite in any of the ATC sets.

The next task for me has been to start adding some of the errors on top of my basic 208-card set (I have eight so far) and upgrading since my set is mostly low-grade.

I have a SGC master set going but it has slowed to a crawl.
I have not added any new holes but have upgraded some this year.

I have a few more to send in to get graded...or I will just seek those already graded since the raw ones I have are low grade.

I have primarily mid grade commons (SGC 40/50/60) and low grade stars (SGC10/20). I love the way they look in the black slabs.

I have a really good start on a second set, maybe 35-40% but I don't know if I am serious about doing it again. I probably will since this remains my all-time favorite set and I tend to hoard my favorites

I might collect a low grade raw set too, since they look great all together.
With the ~ 260 or so slabbed cards I have in this set, it takes up a lot of space and weight. The raw ones I have are in top loaders and are in a small box, that's appealing in some ways too.

Completed my first set (minus the hobby no stats) several years ago in low to mid grade. My second front only set is decidedly low grade (wanted complete readable cards but the lowest condition/price I could find). I do have an example of every back advertiser including a couple of blank backs. I hoard this set but it has slowed with the birth of my son last year and some job issues this year....hope to start up again at some point but who knows.

Collecting a T205 Cubs Front/ back variation subset. There are 151 possible
Cards and I have 116 of the various cards. Mine are all SGC graded and love the challenge. Cards are getting harder to find but that happens.

Have been collecting them off & on for years! I have 206 different front/back variations, without regard to advertising!

If I counted correctly, I STILL have ~22 to go for a Master Set, but then what???

I have been REALLY enjoying "The Hunt" tho....

I have always said the hunt is a lot, if not most, of the fun I have had in collecting. The journey can be great if you let it be....
