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

Posted By: JimB

T206s were my introduction to vintage (pre-WWII) cards back in 1981 or so when I bought my first couple of T206s (Cobb/red, and Lajoie/batting). About six months ago (24 years later) I completed the set (minus Doyle NY Natl) with at least one example of all sixteen brand backs. I would say patience is the key. At times I veered away into caramels and then came back to the T206s. I always looked at it as a 20+ year project and just chipped away slowly. Sometimes I would buy a lot of 15 commons at a show. Sometimes it would be a couple of HOFs. Eventually I made it. I don't know if I will ever get the Doyle card and honestly, it is not a high priority. But it is a great set to pursue for those with enough patience and fortitude.
