evolution of your collection

"Funny how this thread is littered with T206 casualties."

I got a chuckle from that response. I guess I have a different mindset than most on this thread. When I start a set,
I have to complete it. Furthermore, upon completion I continue to collect printing errors, variations, etc. in the set.
In my way of thinking, there is no "common" player. I like to research every player pictured in a set. I figure that if
the designers thought enough of that player to include him in their set, then there must be an interesting story to be
found. And, more often than not, there is a great story to be read.

I've completed all major BB sets from 1887-1985. The following sets I've favored, so I've collected them in multiples.....

1889 Goodwin Champions (N162)......2.5 sets
1908-1910 American Caramel (E90-1)......1.75 sets
1909-1911 T206......4 sets
1933 Goudey......2 sets
1941 Play Ball......4 sets
1948 Bowman......2 sets
1949 Leaf......1.8 sets
1949 Bowman (regular)......24 sets
1949 Bowman PCL......2 sets
1952 Topps......2 sets
1953 Bowman......2 sets
1959 Fleer......2 sets
1966 Topps......2 sets
1975 Topps......5 sets
1975 Topps (mini)......2 sets
