Most interesting, esoteric sets - T206 collectors do not read

[campyfan39]

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.

The t206 set was my intro to vintage cards. Ive got about 150 commons to go but along the way i've started a bunch of other sets. Just finished the t200 which is a great set with a few tough cards. Almost done with e95 and e96 which have all the big names and some unique poses. Working on the e105 mello mint set which is a ton of fun because its so tough. Ive got about 20 of those.

I love the t206 set because there is so much history but most importantly because it introduced me to the wonderful world of vintage.

It's been said before but sometimes sets are too scarce for their own good...which are the sets I enjoy and get very little attention unless I post pictures ....such as Gilmartin Printing......

I like to collect the oddball non mainstream sets for the most part, not sure why but I just like the fact you just cant go out and buy a set in a year like T206, Goudey 1933, etc. You have to hunt them down and can take years, which I like.

I really like the old black and white sets with real pictures, three of my favorites are Exhibits, M101-4/5 and T209. I just love all the action shots-

Okay, I'll start collecting those.

Just bumping to get the troll post on the T206Resource thread a little lower.
