For the last year I've collected T206 exclusively. I'm a little over 100 all SGC Graded 40-50 and it's been a lot of fun as I've gotten most of the HOF Portraits. But I'm slowing a bit. I'm going to complete T207 & T205 Yankees sets now in addition.
Also I'm not a stickler about the big 4. I consider a master set complete without them. I don't believe the Doyle or Magie errors should be considered a part of the set. Why isn't the no "B" Sweeney then? Is an ink missing card that much different than a swapped plate?
Wagner and Plank have a bit more consideration because they were intended to be a part of the set, but then shouldn't the Proof Cards that never made it also be considered? Is a card that was pulled in the initial press that much different than an unissued proof? So much grey area. These guys were not precise back in the day for sure.
I think there should be designation of a master set and an advanced master set that contains all variations and short prints.
