Default Best T206 book?
I was wondering what folks here think is the best book for T206 cards? Is there one that gives me not only the history of the set, but the cards themselves , the players and a card by card checklist in detail?

thanx!

The Monster by Bill Heitman

The T206 Collection by Tom & Ellen Zappala with Lou Blasi

These are two books that I would recommend

You should also look at Inside T206 by Scot Reader.

100% agree. Both are extremely lovely. Bill Heitman is the one who started calling the set "The MONSTER" and was a real pioneer. No T206 collection should be without them. Someone above also mentioned Reader's work which is also wonderful. You really cannot go wrong.

Enjoy!

Derek

You will get Farrah Fawcett with only one of the books mentioned, but I'm not telling you which one.

Well, it looks like I will be on my way to locate a copy of Scot Readers Inside T206 tomorrow. I just quickly scanned the copy in this thread and it seems to be a very enjoyable read.
Thanks,
Robert

Scot Reader's book is online only. You just print it and put the sheets in a binder.

Thanks Steve. I actually found a copy I must have printed several years ago and forgot about. Going to start reading it shortly.
Thanks again,
Robert
