Old Mill because it is the same back as the much nicer T210 set.

For me, it's a tie between Uzit & Lenox. I love the bold, straight-forward graphic design of both. No frills, no scrolls.

Me, too! If anyone knows the whereabouts of this signed T206 Snodgrass with Hindu back (from Trader Speaks 1976), please let me know. I'd pay a LOT more than $3.00 for it today (notice how he's selling Kleinow BOS with PB back for twice as much)!!

Thanks Ronnie- I got the Uzit from Scott L, then traded it to Derek H, then missed it too much, so got it back from him...It has the boldest/darkest ink on a Uzit I've seen.

David, not a 460, but can this AB count?

Actually Michael, I won the Mullin Uzit from Love Of The Game Auctions and then traded it to you. It was the Cy Young Hindu we passed back and forth some.

Actually I bought the Mullin Uzit from Scott L around 2010, then must've sold it/traded it, or consigned it to LOTG (can't remember). But I owned it before you, then ultimately got it back from you years later.

I think T213-1 are most definitely T206. I look at T213-2 and 3 as Update sets. 😄 As for the question....definitely El Principe de Gales with Polar Bear as runner ups.

T213 Types 2+3 are just glorified reprints.

Ryan,
I recently had a chance to trade for one. After you got the Tinker I sold the Cobb. Last year I bought the Red Cobb in LOTG and when I was offered the Tinker in a trade I had to do it !! PSA Registry still has four listed that have no clear evidence they have yet surfaced. So I have the 72 known once again in one grade or another !!

Piedmont, because the blue is attractive and design is elegant. But mostly because it brings back one of my best hobby memories.

Back in the mid-late 1970s, there was a collector named Ralph Nozaki who collected errors and variations. I had purchased my friend's brother's card collection of 1962s, and found a Hal Reniff variation where the card number was wrong. It meant nothing to me, but Ralph was interested in trading for it.

I had never owned or even seen a tobacco card, let alone a T206. I had a Sports Hobbyist magazine with a large black and white image of the Wagner, so for all I knew, T206 cards were that large, similar to modern cards. I sent that Reniff card to Ralph and told him I would be happy with any T206 card in trade.

Soon afterwards, I got a nice letter from Ralph with a T206 enclosed. I expected, and would have been very happy, with it being a common, but instead he sent me a card of a fellow named Christy Mathewson, pitching pose with white cap. It had a Piedmont back.

I kept that card until 1991, when I was building my house (which I still live in,) and decided to sell it along with a large (70 or so) collection of T3 cards I had subsequently collected, in order to add two fireplaces to my home building budget.

I love those fireplaces - I use them all the time in sometimes sub-zero Minnesota winters - and I also love the memory Ralph gave me all those years ago.
