[53toppscollector]

as many of you know, I am a portrait-only collector for the T206 set, and this thread does a great job of illustrating why! Even the non-HOF portraits in the set look beautiful. The thing that attracts me to the portraits is the brilliance and variation of the background color. The Ty Cobb is the most famous example, with the orangeish background getting a lot of love. But you can see it in noticeable ways on a lot of the portraits, where the blue isnt as dark on some of the cards, for example. It is especially noticeable (and my favorite part of my collection) when viewing the fronts side by side in a binder.
