Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>The monster is still available, do a search for heitman and you will eventually dig up his posts. You can get in touch with him directly. www.t206.org also has good information in addition to the previously mentioned resources.<br />

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Lew Lipset's 3rd Encyclopedia covers 20th century tobacco cards, with a great section on the white border T206 cards. Mr. Lipset's work would be of great benefit to your study of the set.
