T218 series breakdown and ad backs

[G1911]

It should be in the mail on the way to me. I was hoping you wouldn’t notice so I could get away with it cheap instead . There are 10 factory 649’s I’ve seen or have been posted here or emailed/texted to me (I don’t want to call that “known”, but it’s something of a count to compare relatively at least…).

Johnson Green Hassan Series 2 notation factory 30 is confirmed recently as well by another member. My master checklist of confirmed cards is at 632, of which I have 618 in hand to ‘prove beyond doubt’ + this one. I think this Cloughan was the last card I had at a fairly high percentage chance it could exist but was up unconfirmed, but what the heck do I know?

I’ll email you my latest checklist sheet, it’s been awhile sir.

I figured it was you Greg! Shoot me the list of cards you need and if I have any I’ll let you have them since I’m not going for the master set. Congrats on being so close to having the master set - I doubt that anybody has ever done it before (with the 6 error cards).
Thanks for the confirmation of the green Johnson H2 f30 card. I thought that it must exist as well as the M1 f30. If you have a scan of it I would love to see it too. Thanks!

Sent you another probably too lengthy email sir, with the latest from my end I’ve seen and a picture of the recent Johnson card. It ain’t real until someone can produce a photo!

These large sets with little pre-existing proper research make the hardest part of the master just checklisting it. “How do we know when we’re done?” is more than rhetorical. It’s also 90% of the fun, personally. If 632 isn’t the magic number, we can’t be more than a few cards off at this point. So close…

Once I figure out a good way to scan and sort the bulk commons efficiently I’d like to put together a visual checklist with the direct evidence of each possible card.

I was watching that as well - it sat at $10 until the final day and I figured it would jump, but wasn't quite expecting that much!

Glad it went to you, Greg - one step closer!

[G1911]

Thank you Scott! I am very excited this card appeared at all, I've been trying to find out if it's real since the 649 was discovered a long time ago. Sort of a 'budget white whale' in and of itself separate from a master chase.

I may not reach 100%, but 98% ain't too bad and 3 of the 13 left are fairly easy. Thank you for all the help and guidance gentlemen, for listening to my rants, theories and projects about this set and figuring out what there even is to chase together, and for the generosity in sharing, sending or selling your cards this way. I wouldn't be nearly this close if I was still solely trolling eBay listings. Cliff, Dave, Scott, George, David L (if you're still lurking) thank you gentlemen. This little side board is great.
