Does Bush collect T206s?
 
Posted By: <b>Pete Z.&nbsp; </b><p>I remember reading an article before the 2000 election that George W. has a collection of old tobacco cards. His interest in baseball is documented in his involvement with the Rangers. A google search comes up empty. If he does, my next question is does he own a Wagner? I'm sure he'd say that finding one would be easier than finding wmd. Thanks.

Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>My searches have always been very very fruitful: a few words to an old hymn unearthed the author and the tune and country of origin; "what is a tokoba****a" unearthed the correct spelling (tokobashira), meaning and significance; request to have a 15h century French song translated was complied with. Loads of stuff on early hockey. Reviews of my favorite early movies.<BR><BR>Never tried Beating Around the Bush, though. Lots of Nolan Ryans?...

Posted By: <b>Cy</b><p>I believe you are right about Bush and his T206 collection. I think he did give an interview that he had a massive T206 collection. But, unfortunately, none can be found now.<BR><BR>Cy

Posted By: <b>Tbob</b><p>Clinton wouldn't collect vintage cards, he is only in to the more modern era. Surprisingly although he can afford it, he steers clears of HOFers and instead only goes for promising rookies and journey(wo)men.

Posted By: <b>Anthony</b><p>Bush is the latest in a long line of presidential card collectors.<BR>Carter admitted to lusting after other collections in his heart, but was sure he'd be forgiven for it.<BR>Ford only collected cards of football players that, like him, played without wearing their helmets.<BR>And Nixon, when caught trimming cards and selling them in PRO holders, proclaimed "I am not a crook"

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>why would you expect Gov. Bush to suddenly break with form and tell the truth about his cards? Or, did God tell him to attack the card markets too?
