;barry arnoldI love T206s
and i've grown to love their packs as well.
In part, the two together make a beautiful display which my walls can certainly attest to.
In part, the packs act as an extension of the cards for me,
a way of rounding out and contextualizing the cards.
My type collecting has done a bit of the same. I love to compare the 206s with other T and E cards of the era and near the era.
Lately, I've been collecting game cards with the actual games, both for display purposes and,once again, for comparative purposes, with respect to
T206s. Just today, i've received the Evers and Chance 1913 National Game cards and have had a great time already, seeing that 'mighty skinny' Evers in all of his glory---and turning to the blue sky and yellow sky of the 206s and seeing that same beloved 'mighty skinny' Evers.
best,
