The minor league cards from the T205 set are great! The rest are bad. I want a Sam Leever card and can't bring myself to buy one. I'm hoping someone just gives me a low-grade one someday so I can stop occasionally searching for them like I intend to buy one.
Not to change the subject, but what is up with Leever anyway on this card. Looks like a bad video game drawing! I also should check his T205 more often I guess, a couple ended around $10. I'm okay with that price http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-M116-Sp...p2047675.l2557

T205's
Hey John D
I was just thinking the same as you regarding the T205's. They should have designed all the T205's like these 12 cards in their Minor League sub-set.

I prefer the T206 portraits over the action shots. I always thought the 2 Newark T205's were the best cards in the entire set. Something about their eyes being in the shadows and those sunset yellow backgrounds.
One other thing, Ted, is that Jimmy Collins actually an authentic signature? If so, that card is SPECTACULAR! You should show that off more often!

Adrian, I agree wiyh all you said. The action pictures are my favorite, especially Cobb bat off and Mathewson black cap.
The T205s are weird, and those gold borders chip and show wear. And the T201s are even stranger IMO. So, did you find an O'Hara St.Louis yet?

Yes I found the perfect one graded PSA 3 but the seller wants almost 6000$ for it it has no stains or creases...But I am not going to pay 6000$ for it so I guess the answer to your question is still no at the moment. The PSA 3 is a super nice card I would have been a buyer at around 4000$ not much more than that. Here is the link to that card...you have to go into T206 cards by price and way at the bottom you will find the O'Hara: http://www.707sportscards.com/psatype/tobaccoindex.htm Last edited by Zone91; 04-30-2013 at 07:32 PM.

The T206 Leifeld has one of the best looking backgrounds of any card out there. I'm not as opposed to ports as you are and my favorites are the green back Young, Cobb and Evers. Some of the action shots are less accurate to the individuals appearance. The George Brown/e is a standout to me as being a poor likeness of the player and then you have the Goonies version of the Steinfeldt batting with the big wonky eye.
I too am less enthused by the T205's.

For me, t205s are the ultimate in lithography, when one is found with crisp registration and thick, sparkling gold borders that catch the light just right, well it can't get much better than that. The artwork is just so much more advanced than the 206s imo. Of course there are uglies in both sets, but it seems to me that there was more work involved in the design and production of the t205s as compared to the t206s.

The guy I acquired this Jimmy Collins card from told me that it's not an authentic signature. However, it compares closely with a known authentic Jimmy Collins signature, so it may just be real. Anyhow, I will see Jimmy Spence this Summer in Cooperstown,and I let him check it out. Best regards, TED Z
