T212 Obaks

[VoodooChild]

I decided to collect T212's a year or so ago as well. Most of the information I found easily by doing a google search which will also return results for older Net54 threads.

It seems like you are doing it correctly by having a focus as you stated you are starting with the 1911's. They are different in that they have a bio (albeit generic) on the back like T205's. You might want to narrow your focus with the 1911's a little by concentrating on a certain team or teams at first to make it more challenging.

While doing my research, I found that the PCL has a Hall of Fame. So, I decided to collect T212's from all three years of players that are in the PCL HOF - Walt McCredie, Pop Dillion, Hap Hogan, etc. Other than that, I'm trying to put together a 1910 back run. I think I need 7 or so more.

In my limited experience (and I am no expert), the 1909's are tough and the ones without the frame are even tougher. The 175 series 1910's are the most common but a few of the back slogans are very tough and the 150 series may even be more rare than the 1909's. The 1911's are my least favorite so I do not have much info on them.

Good Luck with your endeavor!

Thanks Jason. I've never done a lot of pre-war in the past, so this should be interesting.
