Thanks J0n. I do love collecting them raw. I've cracked about 10-15% out of TPG slabs. For this project raw is definitely better.

Chasing after the Chase
 

Babe Ruth once claimed that Hal Chase was the best 1st baseman of his era that Ruth had ever seen. Well, that was good enough for me. So, when
I started collecting T206 cards in 1980, my first T206 was this Blue portrait of Chase. And I'm still collecting them. Especially searching for Hal Chase
with a DRUM advertisement.

Great stuff Jim!

t206 question
 

I don't have a hoard...yet... 24 total t206s since my start last month.

Anyways, I have been scouring the web and net 54 archive to find any relevant information to my question. I want to know if my "white cap" Matty piedmont 350 series is actually as rare as the POP reports say. I just sent in my Matty to SGC. I recently received the grade 40/3 and looked at the pop report. What caught my eye is that the piedmont 350 series only had 8 submissions, while the 150 series has had 60 submissions. SGC deemed my Matty the only SGC 40/3 they have graded to date for the piedmont 350 series. I know what the prices go for when it is a piedmont 150 series but haven't found any recent/relevant sales on Cardtarget.com for the piedmont 350 series.

My other questions are why are there less piedmont 350 series Mattys than the 150 series? If so, I am wondering it that will that effect the value of it?

Thank you,

Colby

150 v 350
 

I know this Keeler I have is more difficult than the 150 because I read about it many years ago on here and specifically looked for 350. I paid like $40 for it. I don't think there is a premium. The T206 guys are making all this stuff known, so maybe in the future....

Interesting... It seems like more people I know are starting to catch on to the different backs and variations better. Perhaps it is because of more information like you mentioned. I think the future we will see a price change. Only eight Mattys have been graded through SGC from the 350 series so I do not see why it wouldn't be considered rarer...?:confused: Oh well, I was just curious. Thanks though.

My Entire T206 Collection
 

I decided it was time to take a few pictures of my T206 collection. I had hoped to get every card in one shot by placing them all on the dining room table, but my estimates were wrong. It took about two full tables rather than one. Overhead lighting and light from outside caused some issues, but you get the gist.

I BUMP this beautifull thread.

ANyone one want to share T206 Group picture ?

No T206s hoards here!
 

My "hoards" have been scattered across North America via eBay and other sales. Just have my fake Frank Chance which I will send to PSA someday to confirm my thoughts about it.

Nice Tyler. What's the last back?

I'm guessing American Beauty.

That is down right awesome! You should try the panoramic function on an I phone.

Wow! I've been drooling all afternoon...
 

Can you have a hoard of only 1 card?

I'll play
 

Still need a couple and trying to upgrade as I go. Missing epdg and bh

David....

I picked it up a few years ago as part of a lot from Huggins & Scott:

Always thought it was kinda cool, but never thought about how rare it might be. The recent posts on Net54 reminded me that I had it. Can't beat this site for knowledge!

I'm speechless.

congrats....
 

very rare.....worth big bux:)
