Posted By: <b>Tim</b><p>Hey everyone,<br /><br />I posted several weeks back about me wanting to start collecting tobacco cards featuring Brooklyn players. Several of you gave me some good advice. I wanted to start with either T205 or T206 cards (I still do).<br /><br />As you know, there is a fair amount of competition for them on Ebay. Is it worth trying for these cards, probably the T206 cards, or should I look for other types of tobacco cards (Brooklyn players)?<br /><br />Any suggetsions?<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />Tim

Posted By: <b>Chris Counts</b><p>Tim,<br /><br />It seems to me it is easier to find cards of Brooklyn players in the T206 and T205 sets than just about any pre-WW1 set. From the same era, T201s (Mecca Double Folders) and T202s (Hassan Triple Folders) are also relatively common when compared to many others from circa 1910. I prefer the t206s and T202s. The T206s have some great poses of Brooklyn players, which I've heard were called the Superbas at the time, after a theatrical company.<br /><br />Here's one of my favorite cards, a T3 (Turkey Red) of Harry McIntyre ... <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1146542645.JPG">
