I finally have my first complete registry set.

nam812 · September 12, 2008 2:15PM

Well, thanks to Anthony (griffins) breaking up his extra set and selling me the last 23 cards I needed at a very friendly price, I have now completed my 1910 Champions T218 set. There were also some assists from Scott (scooter729) and Bryon (Elemenopeo) along the way, so thanks guys.

I started this set in January by buying a complete raw set with about 10 graded cards in it, and now just 9 months later it is the 5th current finest set. There will always be upgrading to do, but I am very happy with the set having a GPA above 5. If anyone is interested in viewing the set, the link below will take you to my updated set with all 153 cards scanned. Thanks for letting me share this fun project with you all.

I'm sorry this....

Congrats Nick. That's a darn cool set. What got you into it in the first place? Did you just like the look of them?

I would say that it was mostly the wonderful artwork, but another attractive quality is that it's an almost 100 year old set that's fairly affordable in mid grade.

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

TNP777 · September 12, 2008 3:05PM

Congrats on a great accomplishment.

elsnorto · September 13, 2008 8:26AM

Congrats! You made pretty short order of that set, especially with that GPA.

I was surprised to see what these go for and can't help but to agree they are underappreciated compared to other releases of their time.

bobbybakeriv · September 13, 2008 8:40AM
