T207 General Set Discussion

[Tao_Moko]

I have tapered my collecting back to a very small 5-card want list of primarily T207's. T206's are so abundant that I find issues with pricing and I am a little wore out on the over analyzation of the backs(dots, hairs, shades, etc.). My quest has led me to the T207 set because of it's scarcity, reasonable affordability and honestly, the visual appeal. They have really grown on me and I like the fact that they are very much a card with player bios instead of just an advertisement(T206).

Here is a recent pickup of a miscut and one of my favorite examples just to get an image rich thread started and with any luck my T207 Saier arrives in the mail today. Will post that pic once it's in hand.

Please share your favorite cards and any input or comments you have on the Brown Background set.

Hi Eric
The back bio's do add a nice flavor to the set. There are lots of collectors of T207s but not to the extent of the white borders... The errors are often overlooked too. This Bressy was bought from an experienced board member and he didn't even know it had a double image on it. That would never happen with a T206...

Anyone have a Red Dooin with a Cycle back they can post an image of? Red in the name, Red hair, red lips, red emblem and red back. A true red quintfecta.

Leon - I need the Tinker. Want some T206's in trade for it

I am not married to Tinker. Find me a similar replacement and he is yours. I have him for the Recruit back so that won't be hard to find..... And before you go to any lengths I should put my hands on him again.....He has been hiding in my card confusion (aka collection) for a while now .

I just finished my 18-card T207 Red Sox team set. This was a real challenge - the Red Sox might be the toughest team in the set to complete...many of the cards are very tough, including Bushelman and Hageman (my understanding is that Hageman's scarcity is made worse by a member of the Hageman family hoarding many examples of this tough card).

Even the Speaker and Hooper cards are tough from the set, and therefore relatively expensive.

That is not a possible back for Dooin. He is in the Recruit back series.

Does that mean no Red Cross either? Is Dooin a terminal quadfecta of red?

Leon- you left out your best one!

A great set...I really like the Napoleon backs.

he's getting some rest after all of the parading around he's done...

[barrysloate]

I understand- he's earned it.

I love the Barry. Not too often will you find a horizontal full body image. I recently acquired mine and haven't scanned my own image yet, so here is the one from the auction listing.



And since you mentioned the backs I like this back, no one would use this wording on a newer card "Woodburn is prone to wildness and on that account has been retarded in his development."
