T206 coolest looking pose /name
Looking to put certain T206s on my wall for display...nobody I know will recognize any 'names' including Wagner and Cobb and Johnson...any interesting poses that you T206 guys like or names that will be good conversation pieces when guests check out the cards that know nothing about cards or baseball...

Hell, if they know nothing about cards or baseball as you say, how about Spike Shannon? He would be a great ice breaker....I'm sorry to be sarcastic, but your dialogue seems all too familiar, sorry....Also, if you were registered with PSA, why in the hell would you be asking this forum these types of questions? Just curious....

Merkle throwing
Merkle throwing would be a fun one to display.
I've always found the artwork on that beautiful and then you can start with the story of the 1908 season, and the stigma attached to what was otherwise a good career. Also, not sure of the type of guests you have but in certain company you may want to avoid the common name for the play that he is infamous for...but his boner could lead to a memorable conversation as well?!?! Other nominees.... - Powers (untimely demise) - Maloney or Del Howard (my wife approves of t206s because she likes the "circus" pictures in the background) - Not sure where you live but maybe a local team or your favorite team?

From the department of naughty suggestions
If you are planning to permanently attach these I suggest nailing a Hooker against the wall. It's bound to start conversations.

After seeing the names of players in T206 and the ones in the T175 Heroes of the Spanish (American) War set, I would have to think that Admiral Schlei got his callsign (military nickname) based on this guy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winfield_Scott_Schley If you've got some military history buffs, you could put both of them next to each other in a frame.

Put up a Heinie Wagner. This way you can tell them you have a t206 Wagner
Even when they see the card they may have heard of it more than see it and assume you have the super famous card they had heard of.

I always thought it interesting that Criss and Cross are in the set.
I would display them together. |

I'm with Luke on this. If you want to put things up on the wall for your guest then put up things they like. I would only put up what I like though. Its my house after all. So what they don't care anything about it. You do. I have a Picasso on one of my walls and after 30 years hanging there only one person has noticed it as a Picasso. I didn't buy it to show to people. I bought it because I loved it.

Just curious
Is here a reason you are only limiting it to T206? There are tons of other story starters out there...
- Someone mentioned the Ten Million card in Obak. -A nice t205 Grant (or other set) can get a historical perspective- died in WWI serving the country and helping save the lost battalion....that is a fun lead into the Ricky Schroeder movie on that unit and then somehow you can then start talking Silver Spoons and move it on to child actors etc.... - You can go morbid and display cards of Hack Wilson who was famous for the time and died destitute unclaimed - Pick up a dummy or a rube- examples of America before we became PC - Pick up a t207 Marsans, afterall Cuba is in the news
