1911 T332 Helmar Stamps - color/border variations?

[snider4prez]

Hey Leon,

I have been hiding in plan sight right here on the board reading almost everyday. I have left the hobby but what do they say "the hobby never leaves you" This is a great board with a wealth of knowledge but this hobby is a little to aggressive for me.

I do love the T332 set. I was lucky enough to get the Nagy set and get as close to completion as anyone I know, with the help of the Dreiers amazing set. Alas the set was been sold after that. I hope it was kept together and is still getting worked on. This set has to go down as one of the hardest to complete.

All the best,
Trevor

Hi Trevor -

I believe there are at least three collectors with complete Helmar Stamp sets. I know of one board member who has one and another recently-deceased board member (RIP Brian Campf) that had one. In fact, Brian also had what is believed to be a complete set of the Helmar actresses as well. I'm around 90% complete at this point (baseball only) and I am hoping to finish the set in the next few years. There's gotta be an extra Cy Young floating around out there somewhere!
