Net54 T206 observation

T206 collector, the T206 is filled with a bunch of unknowns too who never made it to the majors but do have a card in the set that you probably have. What is the difference between that and Obak collectors?

Cobb, Matty, Wagner, Young, Johnson, Plank, and a bunch more HOFs for starters. But I love Obaks too. Aesthetically, I think Obaks are every bit the equal of T206s, if not better. The colors are amazing.

Definitely can't beat the HOFers in the T206. Does any other set feature so many? Maybe the Goudey sets?

Southern Leaguers are the Obaks of the T206 set. They are a necessary evil.

Many of the Minor Leaguers, you may find, either played in the Majors before or after their T206 appearances (e.g., Cravath, Blackburne, etc.)

I sincerely hope that this thread doesn't discourage any one from starting future t206 related threads....I realize that not everyone is here for t206, but I would guess that it's what the majority of us have an interest in. I say bring em' on!

I guess for me the kicker to the T206 set is the pricing. I totally understand how pricing works in relation to supply and demand, but sometimes it gets way too crazy in regard to the T206. Shag only played 9 major league games but his card in comparable condition is worth more than some HOFers. I totally understand and accept it, but am just not a fan.

From the very first one I got (Bill Hallman SGC50)to the last ones I got (will post after I take the pictures of them maybe next month),I have never caught the fever for any other types like I did for T206's.
I hope no one stops posting about them either.
A little other flavor never hurts though,I love to read posts about all pre war cards,so bring it on!!
The December pick ups are awesome!!!!!!!!
So is the "Capture of The White Whale"(beautiful collection,congrats on that,by the way).
To each his (or her) own.
Regards,Clayton

I think the pose of Shag is what does it. He looks like Count Dracula. I only have him in E222 with that pose so will save that for another thread. Neat poses most often bring more money. It seems he almost has a cult following .
