RayI'm 29 and started collecting T206 cards back in August of 2003.
Why??? Two reasons:
1. I had stopped collecting in 1992 because of all the crap on the market (I have thousands of cards from 1981 to 1992). I wanted to get back into it and was originally going to go for cards from the 50s.
2. I visited Cooperstown that summer and names like Mathewson, Young, and Cobb interested me more than Aaron, Ford, or Drysdale.
Hence, my T206 collection was started. 2 and 1/2 years later, I have over 140 cards in the set... along with a T200 Giants, a few Hornsby, Carl Mays, and Sisler cards from the 20s.
