Hunt Auction Pickups

This has turned out to be a great thread! I hate flying off the handle, but I'm like the number one scrap advocate

Scott.....I know you collect oddball T206 and I think i'm still mad I didn't pick up all those sweet scrap you used to own....I still remember the Downey, and how cool it looked, but 10 years ago at $750.00 I almost did it......and the dorner multi strike sweet cap back, which took me 9 more years to find another.....don't mean to bring up the past

your a collector, I have always looked up to and still do.......sorry for being a hot head

scrap and the freaks make me not think sometimes..........as you guys know...

Leon is the man, and thanks for all the compliments from everyone...


The God's honest truth is the cards really can't be enjoyed as much , if it not for this forum to share info.....and every single collector I have met have been the greatest people.....I will add more tom and maybe some scrap

It's an interesting debate and the cards are cool looking and worth what people will pay for them.

Argument A- The T206 printers were artesians, honing their craft and carefully calibrating their tools.

Argument B- They were sloppy and probably drunk.

I guess if I had to vote I'd vote for B.

I'm convinced that collecting scraps is awesome.... But... One T206 or 40 old judges... Hmmmm, I'll have to think about that one

It involves two HOFers. I stick mostly with memorabilia but this type of collecting is very similar to coin collectors collecting errors (i.e. 1955 double die etc...). It has its own subculture and cult following. Nothing wrong at all with it and it is IMHO very good for the hobby.
