The Long & The Short of It ???

T206 1979-2004
I suppose I am still collecting them since I upgraded a handful at the National and picked up a brown Lenox back earlier this year. But I was done with the basic set in 2004.

Longest would be complete sets of Topps from 1972 to 2009. Starting the old fashion way of 10 to a pack, with a stale piece of gum for a dime. Wish I had saved all of the dupes from the first four years. Recently decided to part with these because I just don't look at the old ones, and I just don't care about the newer ones. Am trying to find an auction house to help me get rid of all at once.

Shortest would be the recollecting Howe McCormick's T206 cards. Three years and four months in to it. But have no idea when I will stop, as I have no idea how many still exist.

The middle was trying to collect T206s in general. That lasted just under 20 years, when I realized I'd never be able to afford all I wanted, but couldn't see getting rid of all of them. Kept two and started over (see shortest above...)
