Well written post Bill!
If you're set on T206s, you should consider putting together a Milwaukee team subset (Shad Barry, Dan McGann, Stoney McGlynn, and Newt Randall). Since there are only 4, try to get like 6+ each, all with varying advertisements on the back. Now that I think of it, I think that this particular subset would have outstanding aesthetic appeal if you had them all together. Three of them have colors similar to yellow, and the McGlynn is a shade of red.

Regardless, good luck, and GO CUBS!
