Default Feeling the love yet, Scott?

Had jury duty today. Perp burglarized the local Sears. Tattooed knuckles, penitentiary face, ainokea clothes. One ugly bugger. I was dismissed, thank goodness. Am joining the T210 lovefest late. The eloquence of some of the above comments would be difficult to equal. I ain't gonna try. I have dabbled in the T210s with no particular focus for a few years now. The set has something for everyone. For me: a killer Stengel, Blue Grass League rookie, players like Big Jeff Tesreau who made a name in the majors, guys like Sisson and McGeehan that cross to the Contentneas, Sally Leaguers, Texas Leaguers and a "large assortment" of obscure "baseball subjects" of a 100 years ago, irresistably posed on cardboard like Goostree or Deardorff (Thanks, Jeremy), each one's story a mystery to be sleuthed. For me the T210s evoke the mythology of baseball when it really was the National Pastime, a ballyard with a wooden grandstand in every two-bit town filled with youngsters who were our grandparents and Civil War veterans and Americans who were transitioning in to the newfangled century, nary a tattooed scowl to be seen, a game played at a high level, sometimes good enough to go to the Bigs, by young men who weren't businessmen or role models or egomaniacs, just ballplayers who were happy to wear a baseball uniform and play the game and maybe get their picture on a piece of cardboard.









Oh, yeah . . I won the Goostree "Hands Behind Back" and McTigue the other night. He posted a bunch more for sale tonight. Good fun!

PS. Frank: I hope you write that book someday. Put me down for a copy.

Matt,
I was outbid on the Lindsay...not a family member, just my wife's name...and a reason to spend more $$.

Sean - looks like Joe picked it up. I asked that because Lindsay relatives have been picking up his cards for several years making them tougher then other "commons" out there (e.g. his 1911 Zeenut).

Default I Love 'em

As Britt already said, I like them mostly because they have a Texas League series, particularly a Houston team. I love learning about the local players. You know the Giants would come to town for exhibition games every year. Old articles and box scores can be found through the NY Times archives online. Something about reading about an obscure player like Harry Storch (hit Christy Mathewson pretty well) makes the hobby so much fun. Another member actually has a PC of Mathewson at the ballpark in Galveston, TX during one of their exhibition tours. It's on the "Favorite Card" thread now.

David, very eloquent post, I love it.

On a side note, unless Smead Jolley is the mascot from series 7 he isn't in the set, as he was born in 1902. The Jolley pictured in Series 3's name is Abe.

Rhett: Smead Jolley, Boy Wonder. Like my tagline says: Anything is possible if you don't know what you're talking about. Goes to show what happens when you don't do your homework. Thanks for the correction; I have edited my post. I could have added Joe Jackson to the conversation but I don't have his T210 and am not expecting to anytime soon.

I also was a little befuddled by the family comment.
I didn't know about the Lindsay relatives.
Except for one time, I've honored the none competition for a relatives card.
The reason is almost laughable.
I agreed to step aside if any came up ... that is until this mental Giant decided to run up a card (not a relative) that I had already placed a bid on ... you guessed it, all agreements were OFF the table.

Matt, being that you originally posed the Lindsay question, did you have any luck in the auction? ... I hope you did.

Frank--I'm disappointed. I thought the Angemeier fielding would get a response out of you

The goy on the right is saying ..... "Carry me back to Old Kentucky."

And the guy on the left never had a clue that in about 40 years, he would go to Da Bronx, and do pretty well there.

So much for boredom.

BTW Jay, those are great loookin cards.

Is the general interest in the T210 set a fairly recent thing? I started collecting pre-war cards back in 2000-01 with the T206 set, and vaguely remember bypassing a lot of cheap red borders on ebay back then. I've been out of collecting for 4-5 years, so was a little surprised to see some of the prices on the red borders - I checked the most recent SCD price guide I have (2002) and sure enough the prices seem to match my recollection.
