A Gross of T206

Anthony S. · #1 08-14-2010, 11:45 PM

I think I'm currently at 514 out of the 520 "non-set" set. No Big 4. Got as close as 519, only missing the O'Hara (St. Louis), but sold a few off last year. Shooting for a raw (only 2 are slabbed), no creases, no paper loss 520. Bought the first few as a kid in the late 1970's. For whatever reason, I seem to like to keep this set open, and not finish it. Sisyphus had a boulder, I've got T206.

I am working on a Topps Buyback set. I'm at 276 with only 11 HOFer's. I have been working on the set for just over 4 years. Not sure if I could do the 520 even if I wanted too, some cards I just don't think exist as buybacks. I read an article about 5 or 6 years ago about a guy who has almost a complete buyback set. I forget where i read it ( if anyone remembers the article or has it please let me know). It has been harder than you can imagine especially with such a limited source. But I will get it done even if it takes the next 20 years.
