Player Collections of T206 ??
I was reading up on SABR about Heine Zimmerman and for some reason it occurred to me ....... Could some of the players back then actually collected T206s ???
I don't think it's all that far-fetched to think about. Smoking back then was nothing like it is now. It wasn't looked down upon unless you were a woman. Perhaps players tried to get their own cards ??? Does anyone know of or have heard anything about players actually collecting T206s ?? Sorry if this is a repeat of an earlier thread. I can't imagine there wasn't a single player that didn't have in some form a collection of T206s.

I don't know if this counts, but from an old thread, here's Harry Caray with Gabby Street.

I'm sure it counts for something !!! One of them looks like Carey must have been collecting them !!! Imagine that. You could potentially be owning a T206 by Carey or Street.
This is what I'm getting at !!! Thanks for posting this !!! I see a couple HOFers no Wagner ahhaha.

Not the right era, but Joe Garagiola had quite a T206 collection at one time
Don't know if it is still in his possession or not, but there was an article in Vintage and Classic Baseball Collector I believe, where he talked about spreading them out, and just looking at them for hours.

Dave "Boo" Ferriss once had "272 tobacco cards..."
While not a player of the T206 period, 1945-50 Red Sox pitcher David "Boo" Ferriss once had a pretty nice collection, according to his 1990 letter to T.C. Card Co.: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-28-90-DAVE...-/370817751830
Boston's best pitcher of 1945-46 listed the following: 16 T205 - gold border 157 T206 - white border 40 E90-1 caramels 23 E95 - of a 25 set [!] 36 T210 Southern League - black & white with red border 7 silks, 5 in good condition ...and more comments

These T206's belonged to Zach Wheat and came out of his scrapbook. The E120 cards came from the same scrapbook.
