Will T207's Ever Get Hot??

275 degrees for 14-16 minutes in a brown oven.

They will not stick to the pan.

I always liked the Bresnahan card. My only example from the set. ...and as a fan of pork and pork related products, I enjoy the misspelling of his last name.

I love T207s. I feel like a lot of the criticism about the design is a bit unfair. Granted, as a whole the colors can get boring. And, there are a lot of ugly cards in the set.

However, there are also a number of really stunning cards in the set. I think a big reason they are not more popular is that the Johnson is a really ugly card and it looks nothing like him. Obviously the lack of star players plays a role as well.

Here are some of my favorite cards in the set from strictly an eye appeal sense. It's missing Speaker and a bunch of Broadleaf class poses just because I have never owned a lot of them.

I think the Jack Barry is a rather cool card

No, Brown, definitely not.

Not until the card doctors start working their voodoo on them like they do with other collectibles. Why do I not usually not see all that many T207s in higher grades like I do T206, T205, etc. You'll know the set has "arrived" when only the more desirable cards start to show up in stunning grades (or great looking Authentics).

Do I think they'll ever get as hot as T206? No. But I actually love the imagery and color palette. Very sophisticated, IMO. Cool, nostalgic vibe. I'd own some.

Thanks for the comments guys. Not shocked with all the negative views but I guess it comes down to taste. Oddly enough, for me, I'd rather have an Irving Lewis than a T206 Cobb even though no one knows who Lewis is.

This is the only one I own.

+1 I was trying to remember whose card it was with the interesting pose. It was Barry.

The T207 set is unlikely to get 'hot', because of the lack of stars and the uniform, dark brown colors, but it will always have a decent amount of interest from diehard collectors. The artwork is inconsistent, but there are plenty of aesthetically pleasing examples, as is seen in some of the postings. One thing that I have always noted is that the Broadleaf grouping of tougher cards overall possess some of the nicest artwork.

I'm a big fan of T207's. It has been a really fun set to collect. Lots of interesting rarities and variations. Some cards are easy to find and some are super tough but you can still do a complete set of 200 if you work at it. The collectors who like T207 are a good group to buy from and trade with. We usually have duplicates from endless upgrades and different back combinations. Some of the rare backs are fun to collect, like T206, for me. The cards are a little thicker than many other pre-war cards and have a border that chips easily. Finding high-grade examples is always a challenge and they are quite rare if you have any in Ex-Mt or better condition.
