collector interest - pre T206
Just want to get a feel for the collector interest in pre-1900 era cards.
For every collector who collects T206 era up thru WW2 - how many own cards from pre T206 era? Personally, I have a semi-nice collection, but NONE in pre-T206 era.
First HOF ballot was 1936. It wasn't until 1939 that Cap Anson got elected. Did baseball voters feel he and other players pre-1900 players were not as good as the 1936 crowd, then also not as good as the second year 1937 and also 1938?
Now if the first HOF voting included a couple pre-1900 players I might be interested in collecting them.
But I feel like pre-T206 is a whole different era of cards - just not interested. How many other collectors feel the same?
