what set are you working on now?

I just started putting together a raw T205 Gold Border set. I always thought of it as the T206's ugly step sister, but have really begun to appreciate the beauty of the T205's of late.

My short lived T206 mission ended when I became fed up with paying ridiculous amounts for mid grade commons.

This time around I am sticking with low grade raw cards, they look great in a binder (much better than trying to store stacks and stacks of plastic tombs). The commons have been very affordable, but I dread getting into some of those tough variations.

With the help of some board members (Marc D., Dave, Peter B., Josh K. 'thanks guys') I have been able to put together about 60 different cards in a little over 2 weeks.

Question - I am making my first trip to the National this year. Will I be able to expect picking up a substantial amount of raw T205's there? I haven't been to a card show in 20 years.
