Posted By: <b>mabjae</b><p>Hello everyone, I've been skulking around the board for a few weeks and finally decided to sign up. In the few weeks I've been checking out the threads I've learned more than I did in a few years of collecting on my own.<br />My interests are in 19th century items - pics, cards, etc. - and trying to complete the poor man's T-206; I'm a little short of half way. I started collecting when I was 7 and went for a few years, then took about 20 years off. Lucky for me, thanks to mom, I have the proverbial shoe box full of early-80s cards - probaby worth about $12 all together.<br />Recently, I decided to focus collecting every baseball card made for a player on the Buffalo or Rochester teams - pre-1920. So far I only have all the T-206s. So, anyone who may be able to help, or may know some obscure cards that may have slipped their way past Lew Lipsett's guide, I'd appreciate the heads up.<br /><br />Joe

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Welcome aboard and hang on. In reference to Lew's book it is absolutely a must for any vintage collector. Another must is the SCD 2005 Baseball Guide. There has been a lot of cards "discovered" since the Encyclopedia and Lew never got around to the 4th edition, which would have been Bakery cards etc.....good luck...
