Present To Self: A 'T' Card - Suggestions?

[DeanH3]

Cy Young....a T206 Portrait or a T205 . Go for a sharp, nicely centered example. The T205 is actually a difficult card to find centered. Good luck. I wish I had your dilemma.

Some suggestions in no particular order:

(1) T206 Red Cobb w/ tougher back
(2) T204 Ramly Walter Johnson
(3) T227 Cobb
(4) T202 Cobb/Jennings w/ "Cobb Steals Third"
(5) T206 Magie error

T214 would be my pick. If I could ever land a T214 Evers I might just quit.
Although, aesthetically it doesn't get much better than T213-2 Coupons in my opinion.

I bought a Reulbach T206 Factory 42 SGC 55. A late Hanukkah gift.

In order of set preferences, it probably looks like this:

T214
T213-1 or T215-1
T213-2 or T215-2
T213-3
T206 rare back

In terms of the player, I'd want a top tier HOFer and price and availability would dictate which player and which set.


Either way, good luck!

Nice list there, Gary. I was also going to suggest the T227 Cobb, although 2 drawbacks would be the fact that they rarely show up at auction and, when they do, they are OC and very low grade. They do retain eye appeal at lower grades, though, and it is simply a bad ass card with a unique Cobb pose. Damn... I want one.

Others that come to mind... T3 Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, or Mr. Cobb, T216 Wagner. The T204 Johnson and any nice T213 HOFer would be cool as well.

And once you get the T card, you have to go for an E card.....
