Best T206 book?
 

I was wondering what folks here think is the best book for T206 cards? Is there one that gives me not only the history of the set, but the cards themselves , the players and a card by card checklist in detail?

thanx!

The Monster by Bill Heitman

The T206 Collection by Tom & Ellen Zappala with Lou Blasi

These are two books that I would recommend

thanx! (off to amazon!)

Take a few minutes and preview them before purchasing them.

that was the plan, take a good look and decide which one fits my needs best then probably just add it to my xmas wishlist. I'm in no rush!

Nick PM me your address. I'm in a giving mood..:D This was given to me by a fellow collector and I'm happy to return the favor.

wow! holy cow, I don't even know what to say!!! thank you very much man!

that's an all aces move!

Your welcome. Just paying it forward..:)

You should also look at Inside T206 by Scot Reader.

100% agree. Both are extremely lovely. Bill Heitman is the one who started calling the set "The MONSTER" and was a real pioneer. No T206 collection should be without them. Someone above also mentioned Reader's work which is also wonderful. You really cannot go wrong.

Enjoy!

You will get Farrah Fawcett with only one of the books mentioned, but I'm not telling you which one. :D

Book went out today. Hope you enjoy it..:)

Well, it looks like I will be on my way to locate a copy of Scot Readers Inside T206 tomorrow. I just quickly scanned the copy in this thread and it seems to be a very enjoyable read.
Thanks,
Robert

and it arrived today ! thanx!

Man it's got some really nice pics and info in it too! I'll be neck deep in this after work tonight!

Scot Reader's book is online only. You just print it and put the sheets in a binder.

Thanks Steve. I actually found a copy I must have printed several years ago and forgot about. Going to start reading it shortly.
Thanks again,
Robert

Frank, get out of my boyhood bedroom!!
