Minor Leaguers: 6/12 (50%)
HOFers: 10/28 (35%)
Short Prints: 2/18 (11%)
Variations: 2/14 (14%)
Total Basic: 77/208 (37%)
Total Master: 77/222 (34%)

I also have 11/17 possible backs. Can you tell I also got organized this year?

Love all the photos and info everyone!

I admit I'm not up to speed on this set, and figure it never hurts to have more t205 talk, so............
a few questions about the checklist:

who are the 16 uncommons?

and, I'm only counting 25 different HOFers, with 5 more variations. Who are the 28?

and what are considered the 14 variations? on the checklist I'm using I have 23 listed. My set attempt is only geared toward 1 card of each player, and I know some players have more than one pose - I guess those aren't considered variations?

Thanks for the help and happy new year!

My set progress:
25 hofers ( I think I have one pose for each hofer)
9 MLers (counted Jimmy Collins in both ML and HOF) (need 3)
4 SPs (counted Joss and Walsh in both SP and HOF) (need 14)
118 commons (need 28)

Here are all of my raw non hofers:

Good checklist in general but definitely misses the mark when you start talking reverses. For the Cubs alone there are 19 different fronts. If you look at front/ back reverses, there are 152 possible cards. I currently have 128 out of 152 possible cards. Obviously some of the cards are harder than others and some more expensive than others. Still fun to collect

I've been taking a break from collecting for a while, but I just jumped back in with this Joss. I also keep my cards in a binder, but I don't like the 15 mini card pages. It don't feel like I can put them in and take them out of the pages without damaging them a little. So I take a Card Saver II and cut it down to the size of a standard modern card with scissors. Then I put my card in it and use my FoodSaver vacuum sealer to seal the edges of the cardsaver. Then I put then in standard 9 pocket pages. It's a little work but it's the best thing for me. This allows me to take the cards out of the pages if I want to. And if I accidentally drop one it's no big deal. So far I have 48 T205s, so I've got a long way to go. But I do have a Cobb and Joss as well as several other HOFers and SP,s. I don't think I'm going to go for the back variations. I'd be happy with one of every front.

I really like what you did with the binder!
