Default 520

My Cobb card arrived in the mail today and I have reached my goal of 520! 

Took many breaks along the journey, but I was able to get the set completed well before our first baby will arrive this fall. Have many board members to thank for their help along the way: Scott, Doug, Jeff, Rick, Paul, Tony, Luke, Jon, NJ, Mike, and Frank. Thank you guys!

My T206 Set Info:
- First Card: Arellanes
- Last Card: Cobb Red Portrait (Polar Bear)
- Set Storage: Mostly raw cards in Murray Nostalgia Binders
- Non-Piedmont/SC Backs: 49%
- Polar Bears: 198
- Biggest Lot Purchase: 219 card lot of T206’s
- Thought I Owned It, But Didn’t: Tim Jordan Portrait, when I thought I was closing in on Monster Number 500
- Accidentally Bought It Twice: Murray Batting PB
- Current Favorite Card: Pattee
- Next T206 Projects: Finish the low grade Polar Bear sub-set, upgrades, and finish my Pattee back run

Congratulations! I know the feeling of missing a card thought to be owned and waiting on the right Cobb. Only I need a green one! Congrats again.

It's great to see some dialogue on this thread.

It's not just about the Number.
