T205 collectors

[Eggoman]

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.

I'm working on a Piedmont Factory 42 set. I've got quite a few. Curious how many are possible. I should've printed the sheet out when I saw it.

There are 12 Peidmont 42 Cubs cards to my knowledge. I do have a spare but would have to look who he is.

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

[pherbener]

Thanks David!! PM sent.

Paul, it should be in your inbox.

Blank is rarest...Hindu next...there was a find of Drum backs in St. Louis several years back and another small find in the south a few years ago that pushed Drum to be more populous than Hindu.

PM me a list of what Pied 42's you need. Might have some you need


If anyone is looking for AB's or Pied 42's PM me or email sococamo@gmail.com I also have a few very tough Sp's with Cycle backs

[pherbener]

I will Andrew. Thanks!!

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.

By far my favorite T205 (if you can't already tell by my avatar)

Thanks, Adam! That Broadleaf is truly special.

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.

Having completed this set.....I continue my T205 "hunt" by forming these A - B - C - D sub-sets.
Here is an example of my favorite......

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

There are lots of T205s for sale but so few fit the bill ....a new pick up and an upgrade. Would like to downgrade the Foxen (SGC 6) but keep the same look.

[iowadoc77]

Awesome examples! They are out there but there is getting to be a lot of competition for the nice ones!

There seems to be some competition for the best ones. There are a lot of other ones to be had but but the best ones are not in big supply. And as we collect the set the acquisitions naturally slow down. Here is a poor scan of a recent addition..
