Not so many folks get jazzed about a find of a bunch of T207's with odd backs, eh Luke?! Now if it'd only been Napoleon, or Anon 3 Recruits!

Like you, I wish there were more to share things T207 with, but it seems the many posts here are met with, well, meh... There are a few aficionados about, but not nearly enough. Maybe that's changing and more folks are taking a closer look. That would be great ... well, my wallet might beg to differ, but the more folks interested, the better for all.

The backs are better than the T206's. Nice write ups. Is it harder to complete a complete set of T206 or T207's ???

Good question Mike. I don't know to be honest, im not a collector of T206s, but the sheer size of T206 is daunting especially if you consider back and factory combinations.

But T207 has arguably 30% to 35% of its cards considered difficult to find. The lauded Lowdermilk is not so rare as many think.

Im gonna call it a tie

It depends on what you consider complete for t206. If it is the 520 or 522 card set then t207. If you are including Wagner or Doyle, then t206 by a mile. Doyle is far more difficult than any t207. The price of Wagner makes it impossible for most collectors.

Another T207 fan here. I don't think the Doyle is a tough card...it is a tough printing anomaly...a distinction worth noting I think. The difficulty of the t207s as a whole has made it quite the fun challenge. I do love the muted colors as well. Speaking of muted colors, I grabbed the slabbed Dooin to complement my Cheshire Dooin...looks like they used the border grey for his face on it.

There is a good case to be made that it is a printing anomaly and not part of the set. However, even if that is the case, the price of the Wagner makes completing a t206 set impossible for most collectors.

Hi Gary. A recent thread on T207 has a variety of details scattered throughout - mostly in the last half of the conversation. A number of details on the anonymous T207's. Earlier, more general T207 info, is also available.

Lots still to learn.
