Hello All

[Vandelay]

Figured I should do this, not least of all to say how remarkable this place is!

I'm Dan, I'm in Scotland, and while I've been a fan of the game for many years, I'm very new to baseball cards. A while back I caught a glimpse of a T206 for the first time, and straight away wanted to know more! Resources like this forum have been a lot of fun to explore, and I'm only enjoying these cards the more I read about them. Have a few of my own now (decided to try and collect the NY American cards, with as many of the backs as possible on a fairly modest budget, at least to start with), and always on the lookout for more. It's a tricky business, with excessive shipping and import costs in play, but I'm figuring it out as I go along. :)

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading members' contributions, and learning more about this fabulous set. Pleasure to be aboard, and hopefully looking forward to doing some business here sometime soon too. Cheers.

Welcome V! Whereabouts in Scotland are you? (And are you a relocated American, or a Scot who happens to love baseball?)

Thanks Nat, the latter. Visited the US several times, and was lucky enough to fall in love with the game. :) I'm in a place called Falkirk. (kinda halfway between Glasgow and Edinburgh if that means anything!)

Welcome to the board and good luck with the collection.

I don't know if the joke carries over to Europe or not but I know a guy looking for a job in your industry. Maybe you can help him out?

Thanks David. :)

I don't know if the joke carries over to Europe...

Oh, that absolutely IS the joke. Like baseball, there's not enough love here for that show, but I'm obsessed with it.:D

Welcome to the board Dan. I've been to Scotland several times, it's really beautiful. Luckily your search should be a lot easier than it used to be years ago, thanks to the internet. Good luck on your quest.

Welcome to the board Dan!

I have ancestral ties to the Glasgow and Edinburgh areas of Scotland.

You might have an interest in the T215 set. This set was issued by W.D. & H.O. Wills, a British Tobacconist, under the Pirate Brand.
