Five questions about T212 Obak

[wonkaticket]

Obaks are great cards!



1. Not that I'm aware of, I know some players are only found with say the tougher backs like "Just So" players like Kusel etc.



2. 150's are very tough I spent a lot of time and had to even buy a fellow collector out of his progress to finish the full 150 set. I would say they are equal to the 1909's if not a bit tougher in my experience.

3. Not sure....

4. I know of one of each set along with handful uncut panels and strips.

5. Not much new, but quite a bit is known already. I will say T212 hasn't been torn apart and broken down to the degrees of say T206. It could be done but to date I' haven't seen any real new info or thoughts on T212.

Here are my 4 Obak sets.

1909 Obak Set.

John,

Thanks for the feedback. Perusing your sites, I wonder if I bought your old Mohler card, as it is from the Pollard Collection.

[wonkaticket]

Ed, you did Pollard had a few cards which weren't as nice as mine so I did sell a handful of the cards from the original collection. Pollard was such a hobby pioneer in terms of PCL/Minor league cards I felt the need to tip the hat to him with the pedigree on the slabs. Being an old school collector he would most likely be laughing at the name on the slab and ask me why I removed the cards from his sheets.

In fact Ed here is your Mohler card as it came from the original collection from the old Mylar sheets. Also you will see it in the pile below as they were removed and sent off for grading.




Cheers,

John

Mmmmm, I love me some Obaks. I'm green with envy at Wonkaticket's collection. I don't have nearly as many (maybe 70 different, plus six duplicates?), but they're all still raw.

Man that binder looks nice...I miss those days! Good stuff.
