Has anyone ever completed T210? How far has anyone ever gotten with N172 Old Judge?

Bill Haber had a complete set of T210s. If Paul Pollard didn't have a complete set, he was mighty close.

Why is a card that is only 'worth' $10 suddenly worth hundreds of dollars more when it is placed inside a plastic tomb with a high number by a third party grader??

Because someone is willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a card worth $10 in a plastic tomb.

Yeah, but why? Why does that case become more valuable than the card?

At the root of it? Dickholes lie.

I have never seen any proof or statements from fellow collectors of a complete T210 set. There is a gentleman on the SGC registry that has a "retired" near complete set. Perhaps he had the missing cards not listed in raw form?

Bill Haber definitely completed the set and, AFAIK, it is still together in a very advanced collection.

Why are so many trimmed/altered cards being graded with high grades?

[Vintagecatcher]

Ralph from NH, who I met once told me he had but sold his complete T210 set.

When will the term vintage cards be replaced by awesome cards?

[philliesphan]

What does a "complete" Zeenut checklist look like?

There are way too many cards that are believed to exist, or may have once existed but no longer do - cards that were erroneously included in the checklist. How I'd love to have more clarity on the full extent of that 25+ year run of PCL cards

I have read some of his archived posts and he seems like a passionate T210 collector. The Red Border Breakdown thread is one of my favorites.

This begs the question,

How many Ralphs are from New Hampshire?

or

Is Ralph from NH the only Ralph from NH that knows what a T210 is?

[pbspelly]

Where did the term "slabbed" come from?

Thank you for sharing that information. It would be cool to see that set scanned and displayed one day maybe.

I know of three sets completed in the last five years as well as two sets just a few cards short (not counting the guy from New Hampshire). Hard, but not impossible to complete.
