First T206 Team Set Complete

[CobbSpikedMe]

Wow, this is really cool. Congrats on finishing the Washington team set. Sounds like a lot of fun to collect the set this way. And it looks like you are really enjoying the journey.

Congrats Chris on another team completion!

I am curious how you plan on handling teams like the Cubs (37 subjects) and especially the New York Giants (53!! subjects). Perhaps allowing 2 or 3 of the same backs?

Thanks, Brian - yes there are teams where 0 duplicate backs aren’t physically possible. In those cases I’m going for fewest duplicate backs. I’ve mapped it out and think that even with the Giants I should be able to do it with no more than 2 of the same back, as long as I can find my way into some Lenox and Uzits and such. (fingers crossed!)

Even a team like the Reds, I won’t be able to do 0 dup backs. As long as I can do as few as reasonably possible, I’ll consider the project a success.

It’s been fun, and making connections with people who know what I’m doing and in need of, and then pointing me in the right direction if they find something that fits has been a real joy.

Thanks to several Net54 members I just completed my third t206 team with 0 duplicate backs. Philadelphia (NL) joins Washington and Boston (AL) as finished with 0 duplicate backs. I missed out on a Kitty Bransfield Hindu posted here recently so no very special backs for this team, but the goal is 0 dup backs where possible and that was accomplished. Cards for this team came from Luke, Nate, Jay, Bob, Kris and maybe some other Net54ers. So grateful for this forum. Breakdown is below. Onto the next! I’m VERY close on Cincinnati and getting there on Pittsburgh.

Mcquillan (with bat): AB 350 No Frame
Doolin: EPDG
Doolan (batting): Tolstoi
Titus: Old Mill
Covaleski: Sov 150
Jacklitsch: Sov 350
Magee (with bat) Polar Bear
Mcquillan (throwing): Sweet Cap 150/649 OP
