T206 - wow what have I been missing!

[Ronnie73]

Here's a link to a YouTube video on T206's. I talk about some of the basics of collecting them. There's a few more video's after that one and more on the way.

It’s dangerous to drink the Kool-aid!
One day I looked on eBay and was hooked on T206. That was on a vacation so I had a little idol time. When I got back between eBay and Net54 I had 15 packages to open. 2 years later I was at 522 (Magie and Plank) and a nearly complete back run of all poses of John McGraw. Now I have a Frank Bowerman left and that’s it. It was so fun to collect. But for me it was always the thrill of the hunt. I never looked through them once I had them. Had dreams of upgrading and switching out for years to come but simply didn’t happen. On to other things I like more (for now). But it was so fun.

LOL, so true. I had the same thing happen twice with T206s. First time I got to around 75-100 cards and the second time I was going for a back run before I moved on. I currently have zero of the beautiful little cards.

Story after story of the same thing. But this is why they are so easy to liquidate when you get done!

Great videos. As a T206 collector, I always enjoy learning new tidbits about T206s. I enjoy Ron's methodical presentation on the videos.

As a new t206 collector this is an awesome resource! I know what Im doing tonight when the wife and kid go to bed

Thanks for everyone’s replies and resources! I’ve got to say although I know many of us cross over into different things the T206 community is so encouraging and welcoming, sometimes feels a little too critical and cynical over on the post-war side of things.

Happy holidays!

I just ignore the noise and stick to the fun of collecting. Helps that I don't have the cash to get into the the high condition/high price cards lol

Figured I'd show off this beauty!

McQuillan (Bat) is one of the tougher commons. And your wife got you a very nice example. Keepers for sure (card and wife)!
