Thanks for the info everyone. What's the demand on T212s?

Andy, it is purple stamped. Do you collect T212s?

T212s are popular both because they are such beautiful cards and because there are PCL and NWL collectors. Although there are some major leaguers who started in the PCL, like Buck Weaver, most of the players are not well known to non-specialists. THe lack of major leaguers and particularly HOFs probably limits popularity, especially relative to T206s, but they are definitely great cards and in my opinion, some of the best looking cards from the era.

John,
The two I posted were just place-holders until you noticed this thread. Please blow us away with some of yours.

The PCL was really a major league in it's own right, although it wasn't MLB.

Many players salaries in the PCL were comparable to Major league, plus you get to live on the west coast Some players made the decision to stay in the PCL, even though they could have done well in the "majors". I personally don't consider the PCL a minor league. There are no MLB HOF players in the Obak sets, PCL stars are not eligible for the MLB HOF. There are plenty of PCL HOFs in the set, though. Here is a list of the PCL HOF:

I don't collect Obaks although I have some. I believe the purple stamp on the back of yours is a tax stamp and they are very common on Obaks. Someone else will have to confirm that though.

Thanks,

What's the difference in the backs, if any. Besides the color and fonts.
