Happy to provide a few more details Bill!

My name is Bryan. In a stroke of genius I moved to New Orleans 12 months before Katrina and have been here since. I am also originally from Milwaukee and a huge Brewers, Packers, and Bucks fan. I am a tropical biologist and study primates in the Amazon.

I don't have a specific set or two that I focus on, I like to dabble in a little bit of everything. I am interested in cards from before the 1950s, with serious interest in pre-war issues.

Thanks for all of your "welcome to the board" posts!

That's really cool, Bryan. It sounds like you have a fascinating job. And I can only imagine some of the immunizations you must need traveling to the Amazon. Being a fellow native of Milwaukee, I have to ask, have you added any of the T206 Milwaukee Brewers? They're generally pretty inexpensive unless they're in high grade.

These Brewers were, of course, a minor league team, members of the old American Association. They are not to be confused with the Brewers that played in Milwaukee from 1894 to 1901, and later became the Baltimore Orioles team we know today. Still, I think it's pretty neat that there are four Milwaukee Brewers in the T206 set.

In fact, I have not yet added any of them. Time to remedy that!

Anthony, welcome to you, too! I hope you have a lot of fun on our forum. Do you have any pre-war favorites? Players, sets, type?

I, too, would like to thank you for your service.

Bryan and Anthony, I look forward to many years of chatting with you both about our hobby, sharing in the fun when one of us adds something new to our collection.

If either of you ever have a question, my inbox is always open. Net54 is the best resource on the net for people like us, but finding information can prove a bit of a challenge until you learn how to find things. The search function is helpful, as is Google. But sometimes, when a question pops into your head, the best way to get an answer is to ask for help. You can start a discussion if you don't see there has been one dealing with your certain question, or you can just shoot me a message. I check my messages every night when I get up. And there are no dumb questions, so feel free. If I don't know the answer to your question, I'll help you find it.

I do have a question, but not related to T206, it's more towards the 1928 Yuenglings ice cream set. My wife found and bought for me the Ty Cobb of the set and I was hoping I can get a history lesson on this particular set. For example, origin, possibility of acquiring complete set, avg price for individual cards. Anything would be appreciated

At this time, I really do not have a favorite anything I am just targeting any and all I can grab. I have been trying to seek out a checklist for Piedmont cards for both 150 and 350, but no luck as of yet. So I just try to grab anything with the piedmont logo on the back.
