Never been back but did put together a nifty set of T209-1 Contentneas about fifteen years ago. Can't say enough good things about Net54. Great place for a vintage collector. Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome.

Nice. What made you decide to collect T209-1 Contentneas?

I am the quintessential unfocused collector. I have cards and sets from every category. I thought that the Contentnea First Series would be easy since there are only sixteen cards. I was in error. Some of the cards were toughies back then and probably all the more difficult now. Either way it's one of my favorite sets. They have the rustic and colorful appeal of Obaks with southern charm thrown in.

Welcome Kevin. Great forum for discussing cards. Are you going for all of the variations like the yellow and green variations under the team letters as well?

Thanks, Zach.

Yes, I am.

It’s been a bit since I’ve “researched”, if you will, but I am aware of at least 5 errors/variations - 4 Cubs with green under the C and S and a Checklist card with the copyright in a different location on the back (bottom left).

Are you aware of any others? Do you collect those, too?

Good call out - I was somewhat toying with the idea of starting a thread on that very topic.
