Most interesting, esoteric sets - T206 collectors do not read

[CW]

Although I do not collect the set, and don't know much about it (other than information gleaned from online sources and threads on this forum), I'd toss out T216 as an interesting, esoteric set to collect.

It's a regional set sharing the attractive poses and colors from the American Caramel sets. Not only does the set offer a few different backs, the thickness of the card stock and glossiness of the front will vary based on the factory of origin. Add to this the fact that the cards are fairly scarce, and are typically found in lower grade condition, and you have a set that is not only interesting, but indeed esoteric!

Here's a couple threads that discuss the set, along with many cool cards posted by members....

the set that always caught my eye is the 1915 e106 i know that most collectors dont like it because of the the brownish ink they used to outline the plyers but still i like it and wish i could afford to collect the whole set.

I've always liked the poses on the T222 set. It would be my choice to collect if I wasn't working on the monster.

Best regards,

Isn't is possible to collect 206's and yet not think they are the best set or want to talk about them all of the time. I have alot of them but find them quite plain.
I prefer t205, Diamond Kings, 41 Play Ball, Goudeys. TB National Game and 52-59 Topps

I'm all about the T206s, being inexpensive, in abundance and infinite ways to collect but generally I find a good portion of the cards quite plain.

For aesthetics T210s, T3s and oddly the E107s.

And there are a few T205 poses.

Great thread I myself cannot bring myself to collect T206 yet, I do not own a single one. I fell in love with T205, but I also fell deeply in love with N162, and am also fascinted by N28 and N29. N175 and N172 blows me away too.

I love the 33, 34 Goudeys and the Diamond Stars. 41 playball is one of my favorites. But another I would like to mention that I see rarely mentioned is 1938 Goudey heads up, those are a work of art to me. I only have one so far but plan to get more.

T3's are the nicest for art work and design.
Always liked the T200 team cards.
