T201 Collecting

[Rob L]

I finished this set in 2011 and is still my favorite set. Has their popularity increased over the last 11 years?

I’m trying to put a master factory set together, missing Brown and Lord for the factory 30’s. It’s a great set, loved putting it together, but they are still reasonable to het a hold of.

Rob,

Nice set. Yes, T201's have gone up in price over the last 11 years. Perhaps not as much as other popular pre-war cards. The higher end HOF'ers always seem to do well.

A master set will be challenging, but all cards are available in both F649 and F30. Factory #'s appear to be printed on the reverse - at a different time than the cards were printed which I have always thought was odd. Several N54 members have completed a master set. You will find the F30s to be a challenge - Dougherty/Lord and Kling/Cole were the most difficult to obtain. However, all cards were available. Why these 2 F30 cards are rare is one of the mysteries of the set.

Best of luck

I have a strong connection to the set because it contains the only card of Otis Johnson (no relation).

Just curious why you collect Otis Johnson?

Ironically enough, I was late night, early AM eBay shopping and stumbled across a Lord/Dougherty factory 30, putting me at 99/100 of the master set. Just looking for Mordecai in a factory 30 now!

That is quite an accomplishment. I don't believe the other master set collectors have sold their Lord/Dougherty F30's - which now makes a total of 4. I don't think Brown F30 will be as difficult.

Congrats!

Holy hell! I didn't realize there were only a couple of others floating around! I feel really lucky now to have grabbed it. I have seen the Brown, but always one bid off, so the hunt continues!

thanks for the info!
