Each month, four employees at the ad agency I worked at had to make a presenation on themselves. The T206s were great, as I loved baseball, baseball cards and they all dealt with advertisements for a product. Did it as a PowerPoint, and showed the difference between the almost photo like cards (Niles is my favorite, Cobb portraits, etc.) and the comic (Purtell, Bush, Shannon, etc.). Related to how certain brands were in certain areas of the country (the marketing aspect), then asked who they thought had the most cards in the series, a popular New York player....all guessed Babe Ruth. None had heard of Hal Chase. At the end, I had my binder with all the cards I owned in it and passed it around. Lasted about 20 minutes.
