I have enjoyed reading this thread and so many of the reasons are spot on! For me the original reason was that my 10-year old son had a book report about Jim Thorpe. Now I know that Jim is not in the T206 collection but Fred Snodgrass is. Fred was a good friend of Thorpe's so I went on line and purchased a T206 Snodgrass as a surprise for him.

Well the collecting bug took over and now we are well on our way to completing it (well, at least to try for 520). We even have a wall display of all the graded cards in order (takes up the entire wall too...) and we have The T206 Collection book as a ready guide...

I know this is my first post as I just joined last week, so let me also thank everyone on this board for your perspective and your obvious excitement that ALL of you feel for this collection. Even though all the players are long gone to only memories, the "Monster" LIVES because of the fever and fervor of all of you.

Hope to post many more!

Michael

I'm in it for the history of the game. The deadball era I find very interesting in not only baseball history, but American history.

A t206 was the first really old card I ever held when I was a kid collecting mass produced stuff in the 80's and they just grabbed me. I went near twenty years without collecting at all and when I came back a couple of years ago, I wanted to start with the t206, they are beautiful.

So, I started a collection that I imagined when i was 10 years old, but could never realistically complete, my Indiana T206 collection. It became a 24 card checklist of all the players from Indiana. As I neared completion of that goal i realized that I wanted to continue collecting. I am only 3 cards away from finishing my Indiana T206 collection, but my checklist has grown to include all "T" cards of Indiana players, the checklist is currently at 70 and I have added a couple of t207s and a t201 already...

So, I collect them because i love them, but T206 has also lead me to so many other areas. T206 is affordable, beautiful and fun and varied. Many of you have moved on from T206 and find other issues more attractive and exciting, but T206 is the gateway drug of pre-war collecting...

Cheers,

Jim
