JulieI mean--that's what you collect, right? Then I had to sell almost my whole collection (about 1989)--and all my square-cornered t206s were snapped up. I kept the Cobb, bat off and a Bender with Trees (Carolina Brights).
And then a funny thing happened. I discovered that I didn't really miss the t206s I had to sell very much. I preferred Cracker Jacks, T204s. E107s, old photos, Colgans' Chips, Zeenuts, and finally, 19th century stuff. I bought a low-grade Cobb greenbackground, a Eddie Collins, and thought I bought a Cobb redbackground, and discovered it was trimmed on ALL FOUR SIDES...I didn't try again.
And then, in one of our "What are your fabvorite cards?" threads John Wonkaticket posterd the horizontal Pattee, and a gorgeous Herzog (Boston)--I didn't even know what set they were from! he called them "Number 1" and "number 2". I had to have them.
I just got the Pattee; I'm still looking for the Herzog.
So I guess my answer is, yes, I can't resist SOME T206s. But--not all of them.
