Hi,

If interested in T206 cards and other 1910 era tobacco issues, instead of Volume 1 of the Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards you will want to pick up Volume 3, which has a nice detailed write up of the T206 set, as well as other sets with the ACC (American Card Catalog) designation of 'T'. Better yet, a combined Volume 1 through 3 was issued, and then you will have a world of vintage bb card info (1st volume is 19th century cards, 2nd is 'E' cards, which are early candy and gum issues, 3rd the 20th century tobacco sets) at your fingertips.

Brian

Thank you. One of the 4 cards I started with the one in the middle... thought it would be a fitting handle as I begin my journey! It's a terrific name, as are many others from this era.

I’ve read “the players and their stories” and it’s a great encyclopedia. There’s a picture of every card in the set, along with a small bio on every player. Highly recommended.

It’s not a “book”, but Scot Reader’s “Inside T206” is my favorite treatise on the set itself

Thank you. I have read Reader's "Inside T206" - definitely required reading on this topic.
