So what type of girl is t204?

When I learned of this set when I was a teen it was my favorite, but this is my lone example:

Judging by the lack of them on Ebay, Alex, I'd say the "hard to get" type.

t206 is the "whore"...t204 is the elusive, diamond in the rough!

I like T204's too, which is odd, because I'm not big on portrait cards. It's one of two sets, where the design trumps the portrait aspect for me, with the other being the C46 set. That being said, I don't collect the set and haven't bought one in at least eight years. As you have mentioned, they are pricey, they are rare and if you went for the set, you'd have to get a lot of obscure players.

I have no idea why they put Tom Reilly is the set. He had played 34 games over two seasons when the set was made and he could neither hit, nor field well. He also only played one game in the majors after the set was made, yet he was one of the 121 choices and not a single Pirates player made it into the set. It's not like they took their own photos for the set, they just used photos that were already out.

You may want to check out the C46 set. It still has a few name players you would recognize, Dummy Taylor, Doc Adkins, Joe Kelley, Chick Gandil, Joe McGinnity, etc. It's a smaller set and cheaper, plus it has info on the back. I bought one as a type card years ago and I've thought about collecting them.

I only have 6, and only 3 different guys, but I like the set for the variations

Vintage sluts for vintage nuts.



Just another "Street" walker.

one for the thread

Good thread and I am smitten as well!

Scott-gorgeous Plank, although my Plank is a little less fully revealed than yours. And, I thought I'd display the TTT back you sold me a few years ago, for which I am grateful.

Cheers,
Mike

Only own four T204s. Per my name here, there's simply not many Phillies from the set to collect, so I got all of the one they chose to include:

nice variation run Marc. Doesn't PSA note TTT backs?
Still kicking myself for not grabbing that Bransfield when I had the chance....

Ok, so T204 is the "really nice" fat friend
