T210 collectors unite

I don't know if Frank can log back in Jeremy,it says banned under his name.

Ok... Didn't realize he was banned. (Hope that gets straightened out)

Hint #1 - What Lexington Colt had a great grandson who played in the Big's ?
Hint #2 - This Lexinton Colt's great grandson also played at the University of Kentucky
Hint #3 - Longest continuous name in MLB History (20 characters)

Ok... Since Frank is out, I will stop with the suspense and let it fly...

William Van Landingham - Billy played for the Giants for 3 years as a pitcher and I tracked his career a bit, as we are the same age, and I played ball against him numerous times here in Nashville High School and Summer league's. I remember that he gained a little more control at the professional level. (High 80's mph) In High School he was tossing 92-94 mph cheese and he was a bit erractic.

Frank's T210-6 Lexington ball players collage featuring Van Landingham(mispelled on card) reminded me of Billy and that he played at UK, so I guess the apple did not fall too far from the tree.

How in the world do you get "banned" from the Forum? Is this an administrative thing?

Frank and I are discussing some board issues. This was an administrative situation in my mind. Frank was deleting all of his posts. He has posted over 700 times. That would have disrupted the board in an unfavorable way in my opinion. It would have affected thousands of other people's posts and hundreds of threads, no doubt. I am very hopeful he and I get it worked out. I like Frank and think he is a very good board participant. We shall see....best regards

I don't know Frank, never had any communication with him at all, but I
do enjoy reading his posts. He is very knowledgeable about many prewar sets.
I hope is banishment is temporary.

we'll probably need an arbitrator or judge into this matter at some point.

I know that tbob said that he was just over half way there but does anyone know of somebody that has a complete T210 set or is very close to a complete set?

I know of 2 people with a complete set and 2 other people that are under 20 cards to complete their T210 sets. I also know of maybe half dozen or so that are quietly trotting along and putting the set together as cards come available. This is certainly not a set you can get in a hurry on due to size, and limited scope of the tougher series 8,7, and 6 with some individual toughies in the other series as well. I have collected these for some time and had put a serious dent in the Series 8, but have backed off that idea once I completed my Nashville Subset of 17 cards. I went with a 1 example of each team from all series. That was a fun little venture and not terribly expensive. 52 Teams... Collecting this set for a town or city nearby is the way to go, then moving onto maybe a series or an example of each team. I know some folks just collect the portraits as well. Many themes out there and a lot of fun for sure.
