Posted By: <b>OhioCollectibles</b><p>I am looking to start a T-Type card collection. I want to pick up one example of each T-Type card in raw form. Any suggestions on the best way to go about this. I've never collected anything pre-1951 before so this is all new to me. Any suggestions as to where and how to go about it. I am on a limited budget so This will be a year long project to pick up one every other month.<br><br>Here's what I know I will be looking to pick up<br><br>T-201 Mecca Double Folder<br>T-202 Hassan Triple Folder<br>T-203 Mayo Baseball Comic's<br>T-204 Ramley<br>T-205 Gold<br>T-206<br><br><br>Are there any other tobacco issues I should consider?<br><br>Thanks for the help,<br>Bill Williams

Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>you can pretty easily pick those up on ebay...or most on the BST if you're a little patient...or one stop shopping on Leon's website...maybe he'll cut you a deal...and you'll be asured they're real!<br><br>You may as well get a t207 while you're at it...after that the types can get pricy and tougher!<br><br><br><br>

Posted By: <b>OhioCollectibles</b><p>I am not familiar with Leon's site. Thanks for the T-207 suggestion, I had forgotten them.<br><br>By BTS I would assume you mean the Buy/Sell/Trade forum.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Peter was giving me a friendly plug above. I am a fairly well known type card collector and run this friendly forum, with the help of a few others. I am mainly a collector but dabble in the auction business and personal sales. I have been somewhat addicted to what you are about to do, for the last 12-13 yrs. As has been told some of the T cards will be tough and others not so tough. You have found a good place for information. Here is my website and if you look at my personal collection you will see at least one of each card you are after. I think I am complete on T cards .....best regards<br><br><a href="http://luckeycards.com" target="_new">http://luckeycards.com</a>/<br><br><br><br>

Posted By: <b>Don</b><p>It would be interesting to know if there's a player that appears in all the sets, or who appears in the most set, and try for that.
