Having Fun on a cold Winter night with my T 206 Collection

[JJ McGraw]

You are welcome. With a binder, you are definitely going to feel more like pulling it out and looking and ENJOYING the cards. That’s also why I organize mine by team as it is really neat to see the makeup of the players on that particular team. As I have been reorganizing , I leave a space for the card I don’t have yet. As of a few days ago, I was five cards shy of having the complete Boston Doves/Rustlers ( Braves) team . Two days ago I bought the five missing cards and 6 more of other teams that I was missing. I thought it was appropriate to finish that team as , beyond cards, I collect everything Boston Braves and New York Giants and couldn’t let them be incomplete in the album. Luckily , I had been collecting all things Giants for much longer and have a lot more of the Giants T206’s, although there are way more to collect than the Boston cards. Boston was having a tough time in 1909-1911, hence the low number on the card set….only 14. All of the five cards I bought were raw and can go right in the album. On my Cracker Jack Boston Braves set I started working on last month, again 14 in the set , but they are one of the larger sets in CJ land as they won the World Series as the Miracle Braves in 1914. The two I lack are Butch Schmidt and Lefty Tyler…….no luck yet, but I’m hopeful!
