How many cards in the T206 set?

Hi Peter

I just wanted to be "cute" (or perhaps clever) when I said that.

It's a shame that some here have chosen to make a "federal case" of it.

I see. Well, if your point then is that it should be considered a T206, I understand both sides but I think it's a valid argument.

I went with 524 since the choice was tied to the cobb card.

But there's 525, maybe 526.
Conroy plain hat/striped hat
Tinker Cubs on shirt/Cubs and Chicago on shirt.

There's probably more too.

Hey Steve B.

Following up from your post....I'll go in the opposite direction....there really are only 522 T206's.


With respect to their artwork, the MAGIE and JOE DOYLE NAT'L cards are identical to their corrected counterparts. Just some minor typo modifications in their captions.

Just something to ponder

As with most of life's big questions, the definitive answer is provided by a Youtube video.

I think this is a better argument than 525. I can also see arguments for 518, 520, 521 and 523. Unlike say any Topps/Bowman set where 1 of each number comprise a set, many of the same reasons for a card being an excluded from a Topps/Bowman set can be ignored for t206 since it has no numbering. What makes t206 great is you can collect it however you like.
