Player Collections of T206 ??

[Joshchisox08]

I'm sure it counts for something !!! One of them looks like Carey must have been collecting them !!! Imagine that. You could potentially be owning a T206 by Carey or Street.

This is what I'm getting at !!! Thanks for posting this !!!

I see a couple HOFers no Wagner ahhaha.

My guess is that is Dunn.

Don't know if it is still in his possession or not, but there was an article in Vintage and Classic Baseball Collector I believe, where he talked about spreading them out, and just looking at them for hours.

Any baseball players in particular work for this thread. I'm just interested. Even modern players (though I doubt it).

Still curious about of that era though.

Actually, there are several modern/current players who actively collect - ranging from tobacco cards all the up to the modern stuff. Not sure how many really care about their own cards, but a few are into collecting in general.

I won't out them here because some of them don't want to make a big deal about it publicly, but several current guys are very much into it.

Are they members here lol ??? It'd be interesting to know who gives a hoot about collecting T206s.

That's not a T206. That is someone named Schaffer, from a different set.

Yep that's Germany Schaefer from e92 (or e101, 102, 105 or 106).


sorry to answer on behalf of Sean

You are correct, sir.

This is a great interview with KO and Pat Neshek talking cards:

That's okay, I couldn't identify the set anyway.

I remember hearing that Joe Nossek (an outfielder for the Twins in the 1960s) collected cards of himself. I remember because when I collected the 1965 Topps set I got 597 of 598 cards in PSA 9. His was the card I could never find. It took me five years, but I did finally find one.

Back in 2009 I bought a T206 collection of 130-plus cards that were bought & collected back in the day by a Minor Lg pitcher named Roy Mellinger.

You might be interested in this thread I posted at the time telling a little bit about them.
