I'm New
Hello everyone, I'm new and have enjoyed reading the topics.
I am new to BB Card collecting but have collected comics for many many years. I started out collecting low to mid grade Pre-War cards of all types but have decided I like the t206 set best and am now collecting lower grade T206 only. Here is my newest arrival in my small collection. I understand this gent holds the record for most wild pitches in a single season and I like the date stamp on the back  Some of my cards are in a condition which I am sure most collectors would turn their noses at such as Mr. Jack Knight  But I love them anyways. This t206 set is far more interesting than I could have even imagined it was when I started. Good to meet everyone and hope to learn a ton here. Wp

Welcome aboard! You couldn't come to a better place to learn. Prepare to see amazing cards, and a great group of collectors sharing their wisdom. Good luck with your collection! You'll find plenty of 206s on the B/S/T and some will be right up your alley.
Best, Andy

 I will be looking thru the BST from time to time to see what's there. My preference is for ungraded unslabbed cards or "fillers" as I see them called. Fits my budget and I can put them in standard size toploaders and sleeves and they fit together neatly. Wp

welcome
Welcome wp (Slim),
You will fit right in with us. Some of us collect higher grade (not me usually) but most of us collect cards instead of slabs. (not that there is anything wrong with that). We are mostly a friendly bunch with a few in-family arguments as any family has. Check out the overall site too...under the "community" tab there is a neat place to have a picture album as well as a members list etc...and we have a memorabilia section and a post-war section with other sports too, under each of the icons at top....Take care, happy collecting and welcome aboard. Enjoy your stay. If I can ever help just let me know!!

Welcome
Hey Welcome! Reading stories and background information on deadball players in the T206 set is one of my favorite parts about collecting.

Welcome. And I like the look of your cards. Knowledge of Ames' wild pitches adds to your enjoyment of his card. I think that knowing about the people depicted on the cards one's collecting really adds to the enjoyment and appreciation. Much better, in my estimation, than focusing solely on a paper slip atop a slab.
