Is T-209 the new hot set?

Curious to see how they are doing a year from now. I don't see them as the next big thing.

That's the difference between an investor/flipper, and a collector.
I/F's look at cards as a stock in their portfolio.
Collectors look at cards as a missing piece to fill an empty slot in a set.
They don't give a rats @ss if the set is popular, or not.
They like the cards for a totally different reason than an investor.
They try to keep it as a sublimation ... not that there's anything wrong with investing.

Frankly speaking, I would prefer that any set that I'm interested in, be unpopular with the investors.

T209-2 is a great set with some real rarities and Joe is, as far as I am concerned, the number one guy for this set. From my limited experience I would characterize it as a set that is easy to make progress in, up to a point, but virtually impossible to finish. Is it popular? I guess as popular as a minor league set can be, which is not very. It is for the die hard collectors, not for the slabbers--not many PSA 9's floating around.

Jay, It's always good to see the guy from Da Bronx around.

"From my limited experience"

After looking at your Moses Fleetwood Walker Cabinet ... Jay, there's nothing limited about your experience.

How's your T209 set coming along?

What's a PSA 9???

Hi Joe! Hope all is well. No progress since last summer when Scott helped me fill a few holes. Glad to say Irv was one of those.

[Potomac Yank]

Glad to hear about the Irv.

Like I've always said ... when it comes to cards ... It's the luck of the draw.

You probably got it at a decent price.

Jon, you asked a valid question, and I gave you a factual answer rapped around Pack Talk about that particular auction.

A non response tells me.

1. I was not clear enough.

2. The question was not a serious one.

3. Being candid, or straight forward in a forum, is a waste of time.
