The cards in the "1971 Sport Hobbyist" set only use the photo part of the T206 card, the rest of the design is far different, there is no caption on front, border pinstrip has a wavy design, and back is 100% different. It is not a T206 reprint set, just looks slightly similar. I agree with Mr. Lemke, I have never heard of pre1980's T206 reprints. Heck back in the 50's you could get 95% the T206 set for 10 cents to $1 each, in nice shape. Cobbs a few dollars, Wagner a couple hundred at most. Hey TBob, I also contacted the high bidder on the Mathewson and Young, cards too, I just never learn. He wrote back and thanked me, and I gave him info on good reference guides, etc. He is new to PreWar, so the back ink color was a new one to him. Oh well. Frank
