I even have a really rough one in a thick screw-down so it stands on my desk at the office.

I'm waiting for JD and his plethora of Larry's. Only two poses but I bet he's got every variation which is quite impressive for OJs.
I know someone that has/had a load of a single T206 player. We discussed it and figured it'd be pretty difficult to buy enough of a single common player to influence the overall T206 market. For myself, I don't have a large quantity of any single player unless you count 80s and 90s crap.

That's great, John. I think you might have missed one but maybe not.
I don't hoard any particular player but I am one of those"back" collectors... Even in low grade, they are all good! This is hand cut / gnawed on. and I also like Dots, but don't hoard him. .

John, you know I can never get tired at looking at all the Larry's. You could post it everyday and I'd get a charge out of it. Thank you for posting!

This is insane (almost quite literally), and I mean that as a compliment.
I am working on a number of back runs, so I have the many of the same fronts, but all with different backs. I really don’t consider those “the same card”. Historically, I have tried to hoard two cards - e104-2 Wagner and 1916 Zeenut Claxton. Did very well with the Wagners (only own one now but should have kept them). Not so great with the Claxtons, and I still own two. |

Quote:
I got stuck on five variations, then decided to buy a double to trade if one came up. Then a nicer double came up, then a really nice one, then a second London one (he has two London cards). So once I finally finished all six variations, I was only one pose short of two variation sets. I then did the same thing with doubles again until I finally just admitted to myself that I was buying them all (I only passed on 2-3 early on). Then I bought all of the next 25 or so before getting outbid on one. So basically, If I found the London hands at shoulder pose a lot sooner, I would have finished with six total. I have proof that I can stop at six cards of the same player. I got my last Jocko Fields card around ten years ago. I got my last Tom Reilly card at least 13 years ago

I have a few more Dots Millers (maybe 35ish), but it would take a bunch of scans to show them, and I don't have scans of some just because they are T206s with different backs. Here's a display with some of them. I thought I took an updated photo of the display with four more cards, but I can't find it
