T207 The Best Tobacco Set Of All Time

[Luke]

Mac, I love that Dooin with the crazy registration!

I'm a fan of t207's and love this thread. The Speaker is one of my favorite pre-war cards.

A few years ago I tried to put together a Recruit subset of just the poses showing Bats, Gloves, or Belts (no portraits)... Just to give myself a small group to bite off. I don't think I made it all the way before I began to appreciate the portraits as well. I detoured and changed my subset chase to Recruit 2nd series (50 subjects as suggested by Tim Newcomb's article in VCBC #38 June 2004).

I didn't make it all the way on that one either when life got in the way and I had to take a detour.

I've never seriously attempted to include backs other than recruit, but based on the number I recall seeing while working on my recruit subsets, I suspect putting together a t207 set is a good bit more difficult than putting together a t206(520) set.

Here is my Speaker:

Ah, you mean other than Old Judge, T204, T205 and T206

The set just kind of sucks you in doesn't it tony...kind of like a black hole

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.

So do I - here's his red-handed twin (so to speak)
