Attention T206 experts - I need help
I mostly collect postwar, but have an 11 year old who I have gotten excited about collecting and he wants to collect "older cards (1900's-1930's). I want to put together a T206 Pirates team set with him. Budget matters. I want cards with nice eye appeal and here's the part where I need your help:
I want to end up with one of each front and if possible all different backs. So what front back combinations would be easiest on the bank account to put together? I sent a PM to Ted who is graciously working on the question - but figured I might find some help here. Thanks in advance for any help. Howard |

I don't know why, there's like 20 on ebay right now. Apparently they're not so scarce after all...

I would start with Wagner with a Sweet Caporal back. The Piedmont version will be too expensive.

Only cost about 400k in an authentic holder.

If you are going by just Advertiser and not Factory Piedmont and Sweet Caporal are the Most Common Backs (Those 2 Alone are a HUGE Chunk of all the T206 Backs - Around 80 Percent). Then Polar Bear. Then Sovereign and Old Mill. They can get very very expensive after that. Last edited by that T206 Guy; 06-24-2018 at 02:27 AM. |
