Finally finished my T205 HOFer set
After about 2 months of aggresively collecting the T205 HOFer cards I have finally completed it. These are the HOFers that were active as players in 1911 and were inducted for playing ability. The Wallace no cap 1 line is not here because I have no interest in that card and will not pay the high price for it. I would like to thank the members who sold me these cards for good prices. Joining this forum was what really helped me do this so quick.

Nicely done sir!
Always nice to cross that last one off and admire the lot. For being low grade example that is a great Cobb.

Very nice. That Joss grade is ridiculous, unless there's something not showing in the scans.
What IS the high price you are hearing? Wondering, because I have asked and heard everything from $100 up. Not selling mine, but curious what it's worth.

The joss is very possibly undergraded, I have been told by some to get it regraded with SGC, which I may do, but since I do not ever plan on selling it there may be no point on getting it regraded. |

Nice job! I love the feeling of finishing a collection. It is truly amazing how much esier it is with the help of the members on this board. I also have been able to cross off cards from my want list just by asking.
Again, very nice set! Drew |

" 'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished."
Nice going, Zach.
I'm collecting the whole T205 set, with Hall-of-Famers as my first priority, pretty much in the same condition that yours are in. I'm almost half way there. It's a long-term goal, however; I'm in no rush, so I still need most of the toughest cards. I've been watching prices for several years now, and it would seem that this is a good buyer's market for T205's. Do you think that's so? [T205's seem to me a bit out of vogue, especially compared to T206's, which I always thought of as equal value but seem more expensive these days.] Thanks for sharing all those pictures too. Doug |

I agree with whoever told you to break 'em out. You have a real knack for eye appeal, and two or three of those appear to be comically undergraded. Beautiful cards!
What's next? |

Good job
Nice work on a great set. The Joss and Cobb look nice for the grade. Looking forward to see what you have in mind for your next project.

Thanks for all the kind word, my next endeavor will probably be to finish my N162 HOF set I have Dan Brouthers but need the others, but the cost is the biggest issue with those. I may also get more HOF 1930s cards from various Goudeys and Diamond Stars.
I think that now is best to get T205s because the popularity could very much rise while I started the other thread yesterday to see what everyone's favorite is I saw a good amount of T205 fans, that forcasts to me a possible rise in value in the near future, and that Joss card is going way up, I found old google achives that showed that Joss sold on 2/28/11 for 565.00 and was listed as undergraded. I had the pleasure of meeting the man who won that auction then sold it to me. |

Nicely done !
Well done Zach ! I agree with another post, crack those rascals out and line em up side by side in a pocket sheet/notebook style... Great for looking through. How many HOfers are there in theat T205 subset ?
Great job !

I have 23 total cards. If I was to pursue everything HOF including those rediculous slight variation cards then there would be 29 total. But I have no use for the Mathewson Cycle back variation card or the Wallace No cap 1 line. And I only chose active players at the time (excludes Duffy) and ones that made the HOF for playing ability. I excluded the Duffy because I always hated manager cards as a kid, I used to throw darts at my manager cards from the 80s and 90s lol.

I cracked 6 the other day. It's so cool to actually look directly at the card - it's the only way to really get a full appreciation for the quality of the lithography (especially for T205s), and the gold borders look SO much better completely naked. To add to the fun, I took about 100 T206s out of their sleeves last night and piled them up - it really felt decadent, given today's plastic encapsulation attitude!

I asked about the Joss and Wallace/1 line, because I only have six T205's in my 'keeper collection' - the Wallace, a MC Joss, Cobb, Kirby and two ML'ers with stamps on the back. Based on my Joss, which got a 4, I think yours is under graded. Regarding the Wallace, I got mine by accident - part of a large auction house lot that wasn't identified. Nice surprise.
As an aside, to me, it looks like a lot more work went into producing a T205 than a T206 - it looks like the designers really tried to 1-up themselves with this set. Do any of the printer experts have thoughts on this?

Great that you got it done so quickly. Now you can still have a lot of fun slowly upgrading over the years. Well, in your case over 2 months
