WTB; Detroit Tigers T206’s Starting Master Set
 

As of 5 Mar 25 I’m 16% (52 of 329) complete.

Members,

With the desire to take on a life long challenge/project (I’m in my mid-40’s), I’m starting a Detroit Tigers master set. Per T206resource.com there are 329 known card backs of the 17 different subject Tigers in 30 variations.

I’ll be looking for PSA/SGC 3-5’s of the more common backs and will sacrifice quality for rare backs due to price. I’m willing to buy raw, but I’ll eventually get them graded.

Much thanks in advance!

Edit; I’m on Blowout’s forum (rememberthepast) and have an eBay account as well if needing any references.

Very cool, good luck! I also collect Tigers…you are up for challenge that’s for sure!

T206 Detroit Tigers master set
 

Good luck with your T206 Detroit master set! I started mine around 1980 and I am up to 290 different. A long term project for sure!

That’s awesome and would love to see some pics! Any particular big ones you’re searching for? What’s the hardest to track down?

Well 40 years ago nobody was really aware of the "Elite 11" that includes Mullin (horizontal) and Schaefer with Piedmont 350 backs. I could never understand how those were so hard to find but I finally did get them. Some of the Tolstoi backs are really tough too, Rossman and Willett. Otherwise I think your only difficulty now would be the price for tough backs and Ty Cobb cards.

I got one of the Elite 11’s, just need the Mullins

Let’s bump this up!

Ideally looking for more of the commons in order to grow the collection.
