The T205 EGGS (Elite Gold Gilded Set) thread: Post your collection progress

[62corvette]

I'm at 359. No Hoblitzell, Matty, or suffered. Funny, in 1975 my set was complete. A number of variations have been added since. Any extra points for having the first Hindu reported in the hobby? (1974)--Rich Egan was the keeper of the master list back then. Correspondence with Lionel Carter, Egan, etc found them initially dubious. My "scanner" back then was a Canon camera with film in it. Had to send them prints to convince then there was such an animal as a T205 Hindu.

So cool that your set has been intact for almost 50 years. And no wonder why Hindu cards are so tough to come by...you captured your Hindu's soul with your camera, and thus all the smart T205 Hindus subsequently went into hiding!

How nice of your sibling. Just shows you that not all brothers are a pain in the asterisk. I will hang another star alongside your score.
