T206 trivia
 

Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>I'm toying with the idea of developing a board game based on T206 trivia. I have a bank of questions that fall into the following categories:<br />1. the Players<br />2. the Teams<br />3. the Brands(the backs)<br />4. the Poses(the fronts)<br />5. the Oddities and Rarities<br />6. Catch-all<br /><br />examples of a question:<br />Which player has the most different poses in T206?<br />Red Kleinow is featured on what two different teams in T206?<br />Which T206 reverse is considered most rare? What color is it?<br />How many T206 poses are known of Honus Wagner?<br />Sovereign, Polar Bear, Piedmont, Sweet Caporal, etc. are all brands under what industry conglomerate?<br /> <br />Any questions?<br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Would you be able to come up with enough trivia to keep the game fresh and interesting? Would it make more sense to create a game with questions about all vintage cards, thus expanding the universe of information?

Posted By: <b>sean</b><p>I agree with Barry. Maybe make it about deadball era stars and include not only card questions but trivia about the players as well.<br />for example:<br />Name a card set that shows the same pose of honus wagner from the t206 set - Sporting Life<br />what player on a tobacco card lived longer than any other? - chester hoff<br />What hall of famer appears on a tobacco card but less than any other hall of famer that appears on a tobacco card? - answer - jack chesbro<br />etc. etc etc<br />

Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>Absolutely Barry. Expanding the subject matter will by nature dilute the intended subject matter. Though it does make sense to start general and then get more specific. And yes, I do have enough questions to keep it fresh, at least for awhile.<br /><br />The Vintage Baseball Card Genus edition categories<br />1. Tobacco Cards<br />2. Candy Cards<br />3. 19th Century<br />4. Deadball Era<br />5. Miscellany

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>That's a good one Robert, I have no idea.<br /><br />This one is really obscure, but which T207 mentions Long Island College Hospital (interesting to me as I live a two blocks away from it)?

Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>Yes Barry,<br /><br />I have been throwing around a couple of ideas....but seem to always come back to Trivial Pursuit-like play. It would be great fun decorating a board in TP fashion.
