Default Resisting T206--has anyone here done it successfully?

Posted By: Brian Lindholme

So far, I have also been able to resist the T206's. I have had as many as 30 cards towards the set and traded most of them off. (They do make excellent trade bait, as noted that there are many collectors out there)

I have partial sets of York Caramels, E95, E96, T205, Fan Craze, 1936 Goudey, Diamond stars, a moderate type card set and a "playing years" card of every HOFer post-1900.

I just never warmed up to the T206 although they certainly do have their own unique charm. I always liked the T205 set better...I like the stats on back, the bio, some variations,some rarities, some different backs, unique design for AL, NL and Minor Lgs...just a lot to like about them.

OBAKS are another option. If you like the design of the T206, you will love the OBAKS. There is a greater difficulty finding nice condition cards but they are quite beautiful cards. Usually cheaper too

I guess it's all about personal preference, but count me as a resistor if you are keeping score!
