My personal T206 subset...

[brianp-beme]

Always fun to see all the different angles to collecting T206. I came across this excerpt from a book to seems to document Ty Cobb travelling to Louisiana in March of 1911 with his family for spring training:

Good luck with your T206 quest!

That is a nice way to collect, like said above there is no wrong way.

I done the local thing also. As part of a collection I donated to a local museum one of the cards was a T206 Bill Shipke. He played for and managed the local small town team in 1920.

Ed Summers has a card in the Monster

Jeff, thank you. One I missed!

[brianp-beme]

As mentioned, Ed Summers has a T206 card, which is shown below.

Jim Delahanty has a T206 card, designating him with Washington.

And Jim Delehanty also has a T205 card, showing him with the Tigers.

So with the T207 cards Ron mentioned, you can have a nice type collection of the three most prominent tobacco issues of the era as well, and a good chunk of the Tigers 1911 roster.
