T207 Set Progress

[familytoad]

Has anyone considered a Monster or Kraken type calculation for this T207 set?
The tough ones are, well...tough!

And similar to the E90-1 American Caramels, when you get to half/three quarters of the set in quantity, it’s just getting started on the hard part!

The keeper of this calculator will likely need to title his own description, since the previous monikers are in fierce trademark discussions as we read...

I’m too far from the median, forget expert , knowledge on this set so I am no candidate for the role.

Anyone game for the game?

I’m only qualified to suggest a name. I’m just learning about the set, it’s nuances, rarities and misconceptions. Very layered; very intricate. I’ve “met” several collectors who really know their stuff on this guy. Trying to soak it in

Suggestions for the name: The Scorpion, Brown Bastard, The Nemesis, Lewis’s Folly. What else?

Here is from this week's mail call. Some real toughies.

Great set, and incredible progress on the set in such a relatively short period of time. 3/4 of the set down, now just the incredibly tough ones to go! I intentionally only went after the easier or mildly difficult ones, so I have no clue how hard the rest are, just know they are tough.

A Monster/Kraken thread like Brian mentioned would be perfect for this set. It would not get too many participating (The Brown Bastard is a very appropriate name for this set, both because of all the rarities and the disdain that many collectors have for the set...hey, I like it!), but it would be interesting to get the T207 diehards to help compile a rating for the cards similar to the E90-1 Kraken. I know I got plenty of help refining the Kraken ratings from a lot of knowledgeable folk here.

You would have to find some slightly off-kilter individual, someone along the lines of myself or Frank to be the caretaker. They wouldn't necessarily need to be the most knowledgeable, just enthusiastic about the set and a dedicated vintage collector for life. The Brown Bastard deserves all the love it can get.

I've been not so patiently waiting and finally my grades are in on 50 T207s. Most are lower grade which fits right into my set. Several board members contributed to this hoard. I'll have them in hand next week and post pictures - gotta figure out where this puts me. I'm guessing this adds 20+ to my set. VERY EXCITED!!!!

Hi John, thank you for the updates. I enjoy watching your journey and I am amazed at how quickly you have assembled a good portion of the set.
