I understand what Phil was getting at. I have a pretty strong T206 collection; been collecting T206 HOFers since I was a kid. They are great cards, aesthetically speaking, and I've never managed to bring myself to liquidate them even when prices were soaring [except for the freaks; had to get in on that action while I could]. That said, I am pretty bored with the seemingly endless discussions of the set. I rarely read any of the T206 threads and usually then it is only to find out if my collection has one of the 'new' variations, factory designations, misprints, etc., that might be noteworthy. I realize that T206 is sort of the lowest common denominator for prewar collectors, so it will always have a place at the discussion table, but the board does sometimes read like a T206 web site. Just me $0.02 worth and probably overpriced at that.
