Maybe Im the one guy who bought a T210 minor leaguer based on the player and not on the set. Or maybe not. Collecting interests can be extremely diverse.

T210's...
 

Scott - I love T210's for many reasons including (in no particular order) :

- Massive set with many scarce cards which presents a bit of a challenge and also a solid number of rare cards that you may only see once in your lifetime.
- The set contains many Major Leaguer's with a story to tell... (Fun research set)
- The set can be collected by portrait, batters, fielders, catchers with gear, or by town or city, state, team, league, or even by series. (8 series - 51 teams)

A collector can collect this set in such a variety of ways. I have enjoyed collecting the set over the last decade + and it still excites me.

Living in the Columbia, SC area it was a natural to collect T210 Series 1 Columbia players. I've considered jumping on Charleston, Greenville, etc. but haven't made the move yet.

Just scored this T206 Cobb Bat on. :)

Cool double name Cobb

Thanks! I found it on the forum, it was listed last year and suprisingly he still had it. Lucky me!

Filling some holes in the sets...

My very first baseball card purchase came from a 1958 Topps box like this one. Impulse buy :D

Hey Bob, nice - I won the other one:

Well, since the January 2012 pickup thread is getting less attention than the January 2011, I just wanted to round it out with a Thank You to David:

two in the mail today
 

Chalked up #198 in my SGC40 collection in a pickup from Ralph... and landed the Eddie Collins name on top from Bobby. Thanks to both of you!

#200

Sorry, posted this to the wrong year earlier.

My end of another trade, $-In-Shield Steinfeldt and American Lg. Pub. Co. Berger. Love these PC's!

I've wanted one of the 1908 George Wright Postcard of Morgan Bulkeley for a long time now. And somehow I ended up with two of these beauties from the bay...One with address lines, and one without. Every other one I've seen so far has had the lines. YAY! VARIATIONS :D

Nice, David.

I'll have to remember to check the back of mine the next time I have it in hand.

Here's my Bulkeley postcard...............

Actually now that I'm looking, the photo on the front is different as well. The one you sold in '09 was the other photo. Very nice Phil.

Ok, some Dec. pickups in here, but thought I'd share . . .

and a few more . . .
 

two more . . .

Wheat Domino Disc.
 

Just picked up this Zach Wheat Domino Disc. Thanks Phil.

Happy with this one.
 

Picked up this "clean-cut" Feller from a fellow Board Member.

Gorgeous looking Feller.
