Saving seed this year

I am going to be saving seeds this year providing everything produces well! I will have the following seeds
German Johnson
Cherokee Purple
Mr. Stripey
Brandywine
100 Sweet
Mortgage lifter

and a mystery Tomato

If my Big Zac pants do well would it be worth making some f2 seeds?

I was thinking somewhere around 2 or 3 hundred of each variety would that be a start for starting a heirloom swap or exchange for most some people?

You might want to check out the Tomato Seed Exchange forum here - linked below. Note what others are looking for and what they have to trade for ideas.

PS: Sweet 100 is a hybrid. As to Big Zac - no point in saving seed unless you plan to grow them out and see what happens. Very few folks want to trade hybrid seeds since you never know what you'll get.
