Have we exhausted all possible topics for T206 cards?

[barrysloate]

Since my post was a bit sarcastic, let me respond more seriously. There is always room for a new topic about T206 that is interesting and provocative. Problem is, a whole lot of them aren't. After some of the ones I see I can only think that the OP is bored and has nothing better to do than to start a thread about nothing. And there is a tremendous amount of repetition. Perhaps if posters were a bit more judicious, and some of the silly ones were omitted, we wouldn't be having these discussions.

And please don't ask me to point out which ones I think are silly, as I don't mean to offend anyone.

What is this 'T206' that you speak of? I have been collecting vintage bb cards for three decades, but have never heard of such an issue. Can someone post a scan so that the rest of us know what you are talking about?

By the way, I voted no.

At least we haven't had repeat threads lately on SGC v. PSA.

Depends. If your a T206 collector, NO!! If you aren't one who cares what you think!!

I enjoy the ever evolving master set checklists and sheet discussions. Which card was next to another card and how many cards were together on one sheet. Cards with double names or different names on top. Cards with 'ghosts' of other players next door etc. Neat stuff to me. The discussions are fun to follow. Amazing that 'new' stuff or info occasionally appears...

what about ghost overprints...............................

Ghost overprint may not be the proper terminology but the image of this card has been on my computor for a few years.

I don't collect T206 baseball cards but always found this card interesting.

That would be a fake Cobb with a fake stamp. Kinda scary, actually.

Funny, this thread is far and away the most responsive and opinionated that one of "Phil's Threads" has ever received............

It seems to work well when pleasing T206 collectors and screw everyone else............

All hard feelings aside, when I see a thread with T206 in the title, I skip over it. Unfortunatley, threads relating to my collecting interests are much fewer and farther bewteen. When I do find them, I always jump right in to the discussion and enjoy everyone else's feedback. Maybe one day, collector interest in my area of expertise will meet or exceed collector interest in T206's (surely it won't but it's always nice to dream anyway). In the meantime, you won't see me starting threads about which Baseball Hall of Fame Rookie Card has the widest border around the player's image, etc........

Frank- those are indeed some beautiful edges!

Phil, I do that with most T206 threads also, and I collect the set. I do the same with 'glove' threads, 'autograph' threads, 'bat' threads, and all other threads;i.e-if the title looks interesting I open it, regardless of the topic, although the Yee-love threads and autographed Ruth ball threads are a bit tiresome.

Funny thing - when I got back into this forum and started some threads, I got a few sarcastic responses about my posting about a repeat topic. Some people told me to use the 'search' function, some told me to shut up, but MOST were very polite in the way they told me that I was wasting their time . Given that the T206 set is so popular with new collectors, you've got to figure you will get a lot of very honest 'mistakes' like the ones I made. I would encourage forum members not to beat these guys up and run them off.

Also, I think your threads are very interesting - I actually open some threads based entirely on the poster, regardless of the topic, and you are one of them.

How about a "Meet and greet" thread just for T206 collectors?
