I have a very modest T206 collection of 39 cards (and counting) which is the only set I actively collect for. I keep my cards in a home safe and only get them out to add a new card to the collection but I find myself wanting to see them more often or show them to my friends or my customers so what I have done is I have a scan of each card in a T206 folder on my Android phone with me at all times. I even managed to distract my dentist with the card of Doc White :)
Do any of you guys carry digital copies of your favorite cards with you or am I a weirdo?
Yes, I have several hundred scans on my phone and an image event site that I check out on a regular basis, most recently about three minutes ago.

I don't think it's weird at all. My T206 cards are also digitized...right here on Net54. :)
Best Regards,

Most of mine are on my phone along with most of the other errors out there. I check them many times a day...I may have a problem :)

Most of my cards are scanned in as well. I love flipping through my collection a little too much.

Yeh, a part of my T206's are in "digital" form.
But, I enjoy a bigger "kick" when my 10 "digits" are shuffling thru them. That feel of varying sizes of cardboard (N162's, T206's, Goudey's, Play Ball's, Leaf's, Bowman's,
Topps', etc.) in my hands gives me flashbacks to my youth.

I created a website where I display scans of my T206s and I wrote several blog posts throughout my time putting together a 518 version of the set. Also had articles about why I collect. I was buying so many T206s so quickly though that I got behind on the scanning (and still haven't finished!).
