1911 T205 Gold Border T205 was a baseball card set issued in 1911 through 11 different cigarette brands owned by the American Tobacco Company. The collection is considered a landmark set in the history of baseball card collecting.
This particular set was built over the course of seven years with a strong emphasis on centering and minimal chipping to the incredibly delicate gold borders. I am always looking for upgrades. If you have any cards to trade that would upgrade my set, contact me by e-mail at engleturner@gmail.com.
4/1/2022 UPDATE: I am officially down to my last four (4) cards needed to complete my T205 set in PSA 4-6 grade.
6/6/2023 UPDATE: I have significantly refocused my T205 set over the past six months, selling all PSA 4.5 and below.
11/12/2024 UPDATE: I have completed 60% of the PSA grades 5 and higher. Putting this set together has been very challenging, but I refuse to give up. |

1999 Pokemon Game - Base Set The Base Set is the name given to the original core release of cards for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It was released in the United States on January 9, 1999. It is the only set and expansion so far not to have a set logo or symbol. It is one of few sets to include Fighting, Fire, Grass, Lightning, Psychic and Water Energy cards, now commonly known as basic Energy cards. The set also contained Double Colorless Energy, the first special Energy card.
The set is one of the more well-rounded sets available, with a mixed amount of Pokémon of all types, and includes only Pokémon from the original 150. Some of the more popular examples are Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur and Pikachu. |

After being a very small set in Japan, the English set started the trend of having alternate holographic and non-holographic editions of rare cards, effectively doubling the number of rares in the set. |

1999 Pokemon Game - Fossil | Fossil, released on October 8, 1999, is the third expansion set of cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Fossil contains the fewest cards of any standard set in the card game (62). Future sets would often use a gimmick to differentiate its cards from other sets. This set was known for its unfinished holofoil printing error of Zapdos and first TCG appearance of Ditto. |
