My T206 Tolstoi Collection

[sreader3]

Fantastic collection, Rob. I love the Tolstois! Most of the examples that I have seen have a faint Tolstoi "wet sheet transfer" overprint on the front. Most of yours don't seem to have that, which is a tribute to you.

Thanks for the encouraging comments, really appreciate it. Many of these cards were bought from board members several years ago. I'm guessing I have picked up only a handful of "new" ones over the last couple of years. Always enjoy seeing others share there collections - thanks again.

Rob - are there any Tolstois that are unconfirmed?

I use T206 Resource: http://t206resource.com/Tolstoi%20Checklist.html

Anything shaded in green is unconfirmed.

I collect all front/back combinations so technically I'm a Tolstoi Back collector but not exclusively. I currently have 99 different Tolstoi's and the last time I added one to my collection was in 2017. Here is a scan of a couple favorites of mine.

Amazing collection Rob.

That's what I don't like about Tolstoi. A big part of the attraction of T206 for me is the beautiful colors on the front. WST ruins the image. I rarely even search for Tolstoi because so many of them have that faint Tolstoi image on the front. Maybe it's my perception, but it seems to be even more prevalent on better condition cards.
