Are they members here lol ??? It'd be interesting to know who gives a hoot about collecting T206s.

There was the famous Dmitri Young auction of high-grade rookies recently, and PSA had an article on Evan Mathis of the Philadelphia Eagles and his collection recently. I'm sure there are plenty of other players who are collectors too - they are interested in their sports and have the means for a nice collection, so it's not a stretch to think many would have a collection. Whether it's vintage T206's or more modern is another question, but I'm sure there are many collectors among the athletes.

I have a Mayo Cut Plug that was once owned by Casey Stengel. I don't know how many other cards he may have collected, but enough that they put from the Casey Stengel collection on the flip.
