4. What is/are the most significant card(s)/item(s) you currently own?
(Not what you may have owned at one time.)

5. What complete sets or near complete sets (say 75% or more) do you
currently own? (Again, not counting sets you used to own, and only
counting the baseball cards in multi-subject sets in determining the
percentage complete. And not including as sets any issue with only 1 or
2 listed baseball cards/items in it.)

My collection isn't anything to wow anyone but I'll still play along anyway.

1. I got my first prewar card about 23 years ago.

2. 220 - 225 range

3. Same 220 - 225 (I don't sell much and when I do it's usually to buy something new so the number stays pretty consistent.)

4. My T215 Red Cross Purtell, Jersey City Skeeters card from my JC team collection, my W-Unc cards of Chance, Baker and Tinker (Pics below), and my Mathewson's.

5. I have 80% of the E98 set right now, then I also collect the W516s with the Becker/Prize backs of which 10 different fronts are currently thought to exist with this back and I currently have 7 of the 10 (also pictured below) Other than that I have some other sets that are not 75% complete that are still works in progress.

Cool thread, jump in and post on this one guys. Let's hear from some members that don't post all that often too.
