One of each player in T206

Let me explain, there are multiples of Ty Cobb, Johnson, Christy Mathewson, etc.
In order to keep costs down and plus you have an option to collect 1 of cards, you feel is your favorite for eye appeal, aesthetics, etc. So if you like the Ty Cobb and Walter Johnson portraits, select that one for your set. You could look at it this way -- You have all of the players from the T206 set. If you are going for the set.

Is it because everybody has to have a "complete" set and must collect all of the cards.

Another option, one of each hall of famer, 37 or so cards to chase, give or take a few,

Maybe there are some Net54 members who collect this way, I just never seen messages regarding this way to collect.

Jason,

That was my thinking many years ago when I started collecting t206.
So that's the approach I have taken and that I am currently trying to accomplish.

Also, I decided if a subject had a portrait and another card then I would acquire the non-portrait since there are already lots of portraits in the collection.

My signature has my progress.
Thanks for the callout!
Jeff
