Near complete T206 set (PICS)
 

Had the unique opportunity this past weekend to spend some time with a near complete set of T206's. These belong to a longtime collector (not on this forum) who told me he hadn't added a new card in maybe 25 years. Looks like he's missing Wagner, Plank, Mathewson, and only a handful of others :) :

Very cool. It looks like they're mostly in decent condition too. Are they taped in the album?

even with an autographed Snodgrass
 

nice looking collection.

And a nice autographed Snodgrass!

always cool to see a naked t206 set in a binder in alphabetical order!!!!

This really makes me want to attempt the monster....raw.

Thanks for sharing.

Super cool
Thank you for sharing

These are great! Maybe some day...

any....
 

scraps??freaks?? rare backs???:)

I hear ya Chris. Very nice collection...

+1 and alphabetical by team.

Johhny - Did you notice the Barbeau? ;)

Jantz!
 

yes! and the bresh....and gilbert....thought it was the scan????:confused:

Any break down on different backs

Thanks for posting! They look great arranged by team like that.

Great collection! Dumb question but what storage sheets are they?Seeing that I'm tempted to free my quickly growing collection of T210's from their plastic coffins!;)

raw set
 

It's posts like this one, with these awesome pics and raw cards that made start a low grade set, alphabetically, in plastic sheets last month !!!!!! Already at 50 cards.

The cards are all "tipped" in using old photo mounts, a quite common way to present them back in the day. It will sometimes leave a toned mark on the back of cards, if the photo mounts are paper, these appear to be clear on the front.

Most all of the old collections will be presented by team and not alphabetical. Just the way they portrayed them to be collected and assembled.

If I understand the OP correctly, here is another 500 raw cards that "nobody" knew existed. I bet there are 1,000 more collections like this.

Would be cool if there was at least one common he was missing that someone could send to him. 25 years is a long time to add a card.

Gorgeous signed Sno. Would love more info on how the sig was obtained, and whether there are any more signed cards in the collection.

Great stuff!!

Yes, there were more signed cards. I'll have to ask him :) .

This collector also has about 80 different Hassan Triple Folders that I didn't get pics of. Quite an impressive collection.

Really cool. Thanks for sharing. It's what I love about this board.

Awesome set!

Just looking at these pics again. Such a nice collection :) .

What's the 411 on there being more signed T206s in there?

Beautiful Raw Set
 

That T206 album is awesome................and the cards are in phenomenal shape. IMO.

I am putting together a raw set but it looks nothing like that !!!!! I love the way the cards look in the pages. I use the 15 card pages.

Same here; using 15 pocket pages. The more cards I get, the better it presents when they are sorted by team, gives me motivation to buy more cards!

I would be interested in the card backs
 

as I've become aware of two sets now up for sale that were put together in the early 70s that had multiple cards with Howe's stamp on the back, letting me know he had let the collection go before his death in 1976.

set
 

great pics.
thanks for sharing.
all the best,

I need to follow up with the collector. There are definitely more signed ones in there :) .
