T205 collectors

[familytoad]

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....

I remember seeing a spreadsheet with all various front/back combinations for the T-205's. I've been looking for it but cant seem to find it. Can anyone help??

I had the spreadsheet at one time but I modified it to only be for the Cubs. Got it from another board member here.

Paul, I have it, it's an Excel spreadsheet. Just PM me with your email and I'll send it to you.

Really slowed down too. I have been trying to get back up and running, but everything else money-wise always seems to come up first!

For an interesting current market comparison, there was a Hindu and a Drum that ended last night at LOTG. Both were commons, both were SGC 30/2, both were in roughly the same condition. The Drum ended at $1722 and the Hindu ended at $2337, with BP. I thought both of those prices were incredibly strong, certainly more than I was expecting on either one. I think I just got priced out of the Drum/Hindu chase!

Dan, not to mention that as I collect T205 HoFers only, now we are talking ONLY the Mordecai Brown Drum (if Leon still owns it) and the Hindu Johnson. Guess I will NEVER have a HoF back complete set.

I started the set about three months ago and have about 70 graded 3 or better. Seems to be getting slower as I go along though.

That is quite a few for 3 months. I am approximately halfway through after a year and a half or so. Here is the second half obtained. I need to get them in order.

Very true! You keep seeing the same ones that you already have over and over again!
