T206 Reprint Set

I agree with both Lee and David, it will be some kind of an inexpensive guide for you in a few ways.
I suspect that it doesn't have the Doyle.
If you do get it, please advice.
One other thing.
You never know how far you'll get with the real deal.
Believe me when I say that the set was never in my gran plan.
I started by getting a NY Giants Herzog card for my father, a McGraw Giants fan.
I then started innocently collecting the Highlanders, Giants and Trolley Dodgers.
Then I discovered Lew Lipset's volume III Encyclopedia on twentieth century tobacco cards.
Lew became my junkie.
My drug dealer.
I found myself collecting cards of everybody that played against the Highlanders, Muggsie's Giants and the Trolley Dodgers.
Nothing else in life mattered.
The boring problems of food on the table, roof over my head, the price of rice in China .... meant nothing.
The need to fill the tough Demmitt and O'Hara slot was the reason for breathing and living.
BTW, the above was a drug deal entry by Lew that went good.

Let me not rave on.
Trae, go for it!
So what if The Monster takes hold of your mind.
Do you really want to know about the price of rice in China?
You have just the right amount of insanity to make it happen.
An insane mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Things here at Chumley's Rest are going along just fine.
