Congrats Brendan.

That is truly a monster accomplishment.

2 things

1. Could you share pictures of some of your favorite or hardest to get cards?
2. What set is next on your list to start/finish

This is so exciting to read. Congratulations. I was so flush with money around the same time, but I spent it on women, **** and ****. Many, I wish I had put 10% into the collection!

Anyway, what a great story and it gives me hope sitting at 305 here.

When did you pick up the Magie?

We are not worthy. Which card was tougher to find, the Doyle Nat'l or the Wagner?

Thanks for the kind words fellas! I couldn’t have done it without Net54. I would have to estimate that 400+ cards came from here. This is without question the greatest baseball card/memorabilia site in the world! Here is 521....

Default Big Congratulations Brendan!!

Awesome job and even more awesome story!! You should post pictures of the whole set - perhaps a page a day?? Would love to hear more win/loss stories connected to the building of the set too.

Congratulations. Nothing like this set in a binder. I got within 59(I think. +/-2) with the method of team by team. At one point changed them to alphabetical but liked them in team sets best. How do you have them organized? Also, the Brooklyn subset was tougher than expected and it was Burch that slowed me down. Any surprise commons that you didn't expect to be a search? Lastly, how 'bout a pic of your binder.

I will happily post a “picture-a-day” of my binder. I would love to! As soon as the Walter Johnson comes in and is cracked open I will start posting. Am always eager to show off the raw binder!
