Help! (Please) looking for my great grand father on T-206!

[Joshwesley]

Hi everyone
I am brand new to the world of tobacco cards and cards in general. I read a few articles about the t-206 set and became interested. My great grandfather played for Cleveland from 1907-1910, seabron "jessee" Red Booles.
I've done a little googling and "believe" that he is either in the T-206 or T-209 set. Obviously I would love to acquire his card.
Surely it's not one of the more valuable cards in the set as he was a journeyman pitcher that played for a few teams during his short career.

Anyhow, any clarification on if this card even exists, if it's possible to aquire one etc.. Would be greatly appreciated.

I found this site while researching about the cards. I'm very thankful.

Thanks again

Maybe this is him? I found this on ebay:

Booles

[Joshwesley]

Goodness.... It very well could be...
Unique name.....I'm not sure if he played with Raleigh or not?

Is there anyway to get a first name for the gentleman in that card?
Is there anyone on here that possibly knows a little bit about the card (or even has one)

Many, many thanks for the help!

Yes this is him! here the info on the card:

1910 Contentnea (First Series) Red Booles #2

[Joshwesley]

Incredible!
I looked at the link...it seems to be eBay overseas?

Please excuse my ignorance.... Is this a tobacco card of my great grandpa (t-206-209 series, or just a printed pic?

The eBay auction didn't provide much of a description, or at least I couldn't find one. What better way to start my tobacco card collection than with him.

Can these be found in the states?

The one shown in the link on ebay is a photo (worse than a reprint ). A real one from the T209 Contentnea color series would be a few, to several, hundred dollars depending on condition.

Just don't buy what is for sale in that Ebay link, it is a photo of the card and not the card itself (if all you are looking for is to print a nice picture then you can do better than what they have too, e.g., http://www.milehighcardco.com/lot-9438.aspx).

For this set I think it can be tougher to find a particular card. I think your best chance to find one is to ask around right here on Net54 - maybe post a WTB (wanted to buy) listing in the right section of our BST (Buy Sell Trade). You might get an offer just based on this thread too.

Good luck, I hope you find one!
