What's your favorite T206 Subset

[Rhotchkiss]

I like Brown Old Mills, because they are mistakes that were scrapped, only found with certain southern leaguers, and they are super rare.

Great topic! I collect several subsets, but I’m most drawn to the Hindus. I’ll never complete the Reds, but I’d love to someday finish the Browns. I’m just over 100 total at this point. Here is my Tinker-Evers-Chance trio along with a brown and red Cy.

I'm not a T-206 guy but I'm slowly building a HOF Piedmont portrait group.

Started this adventure with this Zach Wheat card back in 2005. American Lithographic printed 74 subjects with this back. I currently have 73 of them.

Baltimore guy here so those nine make up my favorite subset. Here are seven of them that I had scans of readily available.

I have always been drawn to the colorful/multi-color background half-body 'action' poses, like these attractive ones shown below, especially the ones that have multi sunset colors.

Since I collect Jersey City Skeeters team cards, my JC subset is my favorite from T206.

Love the colors on those cards Andy, almost looks like a Candy issue.

The Richmond Subset. Easy to accomplish and the back runs can be done easily minus the BOM for me lol.

Thanks Phil. I just wish at lease one of the reds was a different color for more variety, but I love them anyway.

Good luck Sonny, that's a great project. I notice that the Tinker and Chance are a dull red. That seems to be common with Hindus for some reason. Quite a few of the red backgrounds look light. Some even appear copper colored.

Recently I have been wondering if it has to do with a chemical reaction to something that was used in the Hindu brown ink at that time.

We know that the majority of what was at the time considered missing red ink t206's were actually chemical/sun related.

I think some chemical in the brown ink had an affect especially on the Red colors.

Here's a Beaumont that was pasted in an album at one time that I think the glue enhanced the affect of the reaction from the brown ink.
