What's the toughest set or subset you've finished?

Bob,

1911 Zeenut set is harder than E94 set of 180?

[martin neal]

Finished the T206 set last January minus the big 4 and the little two. Came close on the t205. Working on the t210 set but at a much slower pace.

Well, I managed to finish up the 1907 Dietsche Tigers postcard set. I guess you can tell from that, that I have only been collecting about 5 years To make it tougher, I have been upgrading the set to EX or higher.

[Orioles1954]

The 1933 Tattoo Orbit set. I have since sold due to financial crisis but kept a couple of my favorites.

[drdduet]

T206 minus the big 4, T205, and T202.

Of the complete sets I own (I'm not a strong finisher...I usually resist paying large amounts for high demand or near impossible cards) it would probably be the 1932 Zeenuts, which I just recently completed (Good luck Andy on your set). Of the tough sets that nobody gives a damn about it would be W9316 ugly as sin set. Of the near misses on tough sets I figure I have a chance to complete it would probably be the 1909 Obaks (have 73 of 75). Have plenty of other sets that I have worked on that I know I most likely will never complete--see above note (E98, E220, 1919 and 1925 Zeenut).

Thanks for sharing everyone. It's interesting to see what folks are collecting and what they've finished.

It might be almost time to post a thread of "Who has a T206 set" again. We did it a while back and there was only a few people, but I have a feeling more and more of us here have finished the set (at least minus the big six) since that thread.


Brian:

Which 2 1909 Obaks do you need?

Rob- I'd have to say yes because if I were independently wealthy I'd probably be able to pry those last few Cobbs and Wagners away from owners but there doesn't seem to be any chance of prying away those last 7 Zeenuts even with a wheelbarrow full of money

Were you involved in that Seaton melee on Ebay about a half an hour ago? Wow.

No, luckily I have the Seaton but it is one tough momma. I am hoping that my friend Peter T. was the winner and not the runner-up. The runner-up put in a cushion of $300 over the high bid but got sniped. Wow.

[FrankWakefield]

I gave up on Seaton at $50... hope that one went to a good home.

[Leon]

I was watching that Seaton.....The one I have is decent and went unnoticed on fleebay for under $20....several years ago....My Halla came from Trucker Boy for either $30 or $60, I forget....either one of those was a pretty good deal...I am sure others have gotten them when the getting was good too...

In reply to Rob, I need the Fitzgerald and Shinn to finish the 1909 Obak set.
