Any of you guys collect T206?

[mindbinge]

After collecting baseball cards for 30+ years I finally broke down and purchased a real T206...it's not the best example, but I figured for the price ($15) it was worth it because grading and shipping would probably cost that much?

so here is mine in all it's (faded) glory...lol.




any of you guys collect these? if so post up a few pics of what you have...would like to see them! Also...as famous as this set is I don't know much about it...so any info or whatever about it would be cool as well...I might try to pick up a few of these...just something cool about them.

I don't collect them but I did pick this one up off ebay in 2001 for under $20 and then got it graded with my free submissions a couple years ago:

wow good one...kinda odd more people don't have these....took me 30 years to finally get one...you would think people would have one in the collection...i guess since its an impossible set to put together maybe people dont want to fool with it because of the $$$

I have these 2. One was a gift, the other I bought. Rube Waddell is a very distant relative of mine, not to mention one of the best left handed pitchers ever, so I wanted to get both of his cards from this set:

I have a couple, I also have a gold border, a Cracker Jack, and three silks. Plus I just picked up a nice but trimmed 1933 DeLong a couple of weeks ago at a show to go with another I have.

Edit: Here's the scans of a $400 card slot for which I paid only $5.

I only scanned my Tobacco era Dodgers (some time back)...not that I have much more than Dodgers. I have maybe another dozen or less of other teams.
