    You have jumped into collecting these with both feet!! How many are there? How daunting of a task is it to collect a complete set of SD's? Is it doable?

    The HK book contains 500+ pcs If memory serves me correctly. Many with a pop of 2 , 3, ,5, and less then fifty . This CD Has better pics then the book . It was compiled by a SC$ collector who most likely had the complete set . CD is a little hard to navigate but contains the most up to date info on SC$'s that I have come across .

    It's actually closer to 900 in the book, and now NGC is slabbing additional pieces with intermediate numbers (HK-123a between HK-123 and HK-124, although I made up that example) so it's potentially a lot more.

    The fellow who made that CD may have been close, but he did NOT have a complete set. There are a bunch of unique and might-as-well-be-unique pieces at the back of the book that are described as uncollectable.
