my version of The Monster is finished!! T206 Brooklyn Superbas

TNP777

The toughest card in the T206 Brooklyn Superbas set arrived today, and I am finally DONE!!!! Bill Dahlen's Brooklyn pose is really tough to find (the Boston pose is plentiful), and I'm pretty happy with the one I picked up. I started this set probably 10 years ago, and as my interest in modern stuff started to wane, I finally got serious about finishing up a few prewar sets. I'm very happy to complete this one.

here's the Dahlen


and here's the complete 27-card set

The Superbas were one of my favorite teams growing up.

That card looks familiar...did you end up getting it from lharri over at net54?

Now you need to find a way to handsomely display them instead of just keping them in toploaders or binder pages.

Thanks for sharing!

<< <i>That card looks familiar...did you end up getting it from lharri over at net54? >>

Tom, yes I did. Larry contacted me a couple months ago and promised he'd find one for me. He ended up with a couple different examples - I preferred the color and centering on this one, so I went a little over my budget and picked it up.

As far as displaying them, I don't know if I'll go that route or not. I'm toying around with the idea of slabbing them - there are Some Good Companies that really make tobacco cards pop in the holder.

Unbelievable set, Geordie. You've outdone yourself with this one. Awesome.

Well done. Very nice. Maybe one of these days I will tackle the Cardinals team set. I would like to eventually do the T206, T205, 1933 Goudey, 1934 Goudey, 1939, 1940, and 1941 Play Ball, and 1948 Leaf. Maybe when I get rich...
