Tell us of your challenging experience(s) working on T206 runs

[Kevin]

I had to make a decision about finishing the basement or buying t206s. And I bought about 130 cards last year but I really should have bought 10. I’m refocusing on the bigger cards in the set at the moment.

So the basement will be unfinished during 2022, maybe work begins 2023?

Are you married? How does the wife feel about this.........

Not a back run... but a "front run". I made the unfortunate mistake pleasurable decision to try to collect all 613 Sweet Caporal factory 25s in all three series:

150s - 150 variations (not including Plank/Wagner)
350s - 394
460s - 69

Currently I have 547/613 needing 66 more cards - including 19 HOFers (3 Cobbs, 4 Youngs, 2 Wajos and 3 Mattys $$$$). I always said this would be a ten year project, but with the price of some that I'm missing, it may be a lot longer. However it is a fun project that keeps me in the game. When I find a tough factory 25 for a reasonable price, it keeps me going.

Here are the 460s, the first subset I finished. Most have been cracked for my binder.

Thank goodness for friends! It took me 9 years to complete this 3 card run. I guess not as easy as one might assume

Hi, Ted. Since you asked . . . . EPDG Hummel!! Any condition will suffice!!

This shoudln't be so hard, but it's been maddening. PSA pop report shows six copies. SGC shows four copies. It isn't like this is a Pop 1 or 2 card.

Please see my B/S/T WTB post yesterday. I'm now publicly offering stupid money for one. Any sellers? It would be my great plesaure for someone out there to gouge me!

I refer to these guys as the Exclusive 12 of the 460-only Series. This group of 12 are unique within their Series because the other subjects in the 460-only Series were
NOT PRINTED with the red HINDU back.
In 2013, I started this red HINDU run with Tannehill. I went "gung-ho" to see how quick I could get all 12 of these HINDU's. Amazingly within one month I acquired 10
of them. However, it took me over a year to finally get Sheckard.

I'm working on an off-back HOF subset and I have had a bear of a time finding the last card I need: Mordecai Brown Cubs on Shirt with a Sov or Hindu back.

If anyone happens to know of one, hit me up!

Hi Jon

As you know, I have been going for an ambitious master set of the 12 cards I refer to as the Exclusive 12 (460-only Series). Each of these 12 were printed with 13 backs.

Hummel is included in this group of 12. I have yet to find a Hummel with an EPDG back. My experience collecting this group of cards is that CYCLE 460, EPDG, OLD MILL
are much tougher to find than the other 9 backs. And, it is practically impossible to find a UZIT card of these 12 guys.

Anyhow, if I find an EPDG of Hummel, I will contact you. Am I guessing correctly that this card is the last one you need to complete your EPDG run ?


Also, will I see you at the Philly Show in three weeks ?

Not a player run, per se, but here's my mini Hindu "run"...

You smoked me out, Ted. Yes, it's the last one I need for the whole thing. ... Don't know yet about Philly, but I'm hoping to go. Will keep you posted.
