Posted By: <b>Shanon</b><p>I am new to the board here. I am a collector of cards of the 1950's back to all pre-war cards. I have been on ebay a long time and my username there is mistercrackerjack. I am always looking to add new stuff to my collection, primarily EX and above. If anyone has any Brooklyn stuff let me know,thanks.

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>Welcome aboard. What is your position on soaking cards to remove paper and erasing pencil markings?

The Duke is my favorite player and that exact photo was the first thing I had personaly signed by Duke.

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>What aspect of T206's are you going after? If you say PSA 8's...I can't relate

Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>I'm focusing on mainly mid-grade stuff. A couple of the rare backs but nothing to fancy. Can't really afford it.$$<br /> Mike

Posted By: <b>Judson Hamlin</b><p>to both of you. I jus tjoined a while back after lurking for some time. I'm pretty well along in my T206 efforts, and would be happy to share any info, ideas and even dup's that I might dig up. Check the B/S/T in a couple of weeks.

Posted By: <b>Shanon</b><p>I live in Southern Indiana but have a brother-in-law that lives in Vero Beach Florida. A few years back Duke had a sports bar there, and I was lucky enought to go there. I also went to dodgertown and watched some minor league games. I am a long time Big Red Machine fan having watched them growing up in the 70's. I did attend a reunion show in Cincinnati and managed to obtain a team signed ball from the 1975 team. I traded many Nolan Ryans for Rose, Morgan, and Perez's growing up. I even got back into card collecting after my trips to dodgertown and have been a Brooklyn fan since. However I quickly found out that it was impossible to keep up with all the new product so I sold off everything and decided older was better. I think I have a small but growing collection of EX-NM cards, and am glad to have found this forum for interaction and to learn. There are not many people in my area that collect vintage, I had a friend who had put a near complete set of T-205 together but he had some financial problems and sold it off. Even the card shop in town does nothing but new stuff. I don't go to many shows because it is all new stuff, so I will try to hit a Cincinnati or Chicago show occasionly. Well thanks and I am glad to be here.

Posted By: <b>Mike</b><p>I live in Michigan, and root for the Tigers. Had season tickets for a few years now and was met Clemens at the All-Star game in '05. I'm 16, a just got my first car so, cards are on the back burner a little bit lately. I've been watching this board for about two months and I'm very happy to join. <br /> Mike

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>I guess....at least you didn't say you root for the Lions....<br />but anyhow, must be nice to be 16 and be able to afford mid grade T206s

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>I picked up a Laporte and a Lake out of a junk box for $10 a piece at the 2001(?) National in Chicago. I've been adding to my collection slowly over the past four years after dropping all of my modern cards. <br /> Mike

Posted By: <b>robert a</b><p>Mike,<br /><br />Welcome. Be patient with t206. There are plenty of them out there and they're not going anywhere. It's a fun set and can be a lifetime challenge for any collector. <br /><br />There is not one t206 collector in the world (and never will be) that can say he has everything. <br /><br />Best of luck.<br /><br />Robert<br />
