Topps206 Buyback Originals:

I like them. It was fun pulling a few from packs back in 2002. Presumably around 4,000 (also included were some T205 and T207) were purchased from Kit Young by Topps.

I like them. I pulled 2 in 2002 and they got me interested in T206/prewar. A couple years ago I released them from their sleeve and had them graded. They'll always have sentimental value to me as they were my first.

I worked at Topps as a baseball editor in 2001-2 and probably my favorite couple of hours there was opening that package from Kit Young and sorting those T206 cards alphabetically on the carpet floor of a meeting room. I wish I had taken a picture. There were a few nice HOFers there too, highlighted by Walter Johnson.

Yes, there were definitely a very few t205s in the mix. I don't remember any t207s, but there could have been one or two. I sorted those separately; did they get inserted into the product? I remember telling the brand manager that they didn't belong but that people shouldn't mind pulling them.

I own a few of these and have sold three in the past.

The three I sold were a T205, T206 and a T207.

My first T205 was a buyback. I think it is cool, and the T205's look nice in the T206 buyback frame. I now have 5, and will probably add more.

When I was compiling my T206 set, I bought probably 6-10 off of Ebay and promptly freed the T206 from the Topps insert.
