e107 vs t206

[bn2cardz]

I was curious about what threads had the most views so I sorted by that on the main page and noticed that not a single thread in the first page when sorted by the most views had t206 in its title, yet there were 8 threads with e107 in the title.

In the time I have been here I always assumed that t206 garnered more interest than any other set on this site, but by sorting the page by views now I think that e107 has a lot more interested parties than the t206 set does.

So is t206 the poor man's version of the e107. Do a lot of collectors only gravitate to the t206 because it is in their budget and/or are unwilling to wait for more e107s to come up for sale?

What is your take on this?

E107 set is almost impossible to build ...
Price are not for everyone
almost no disponibility in E107

I read each E107 thread and almost each T206 thread

Like Nelson, I read each thread that comes up with an E 107 reference in it. Why, because you don`t see them anywhere near as often as all the 206 threads and the 107 set still has that vail of mystery to it. Love the black and white set up as well it being the 1`st major set to usher in the 20`th century. Have 12 at the moment and would have to go with the E 107 Matty as my favorite card of all time. My 2 cents.

wow 12 E107 cards is an accomplishment. I will never start this set because i know i have not enough money and will never have enough money to finish this set The only E107 card i will probably own in my life is the Plank card, perhaps someday.

Don't feel bad Nelson, even the guys with plenty of money can't complete the E107 set! There simply are not enough of the tough team variations in existence.

In the time you have been here you are correct that T206 has garnered the board's attention. If you look at the dates on those results you will notice the e107 threads were started before you joined. There was a time when this board was not dominated by T206. Some of us are still stuck in those old ways, please forgive our ignorance.
