T206Resource.com - a new T206 site

[Matt]

Congrats to the crew for both the great site and the research effort involved. Keep it up!

After a long phone call with one of the owners of the site, I want to make one last comment and then I'm done.

Tim apparently came up with the idea of posting original images along with cards, without ever having even seen my site, and with no idea that it existed. So I apologize for using my web-page as an example in defending Frank's statements as to Tim's failure to give credit to others. Eric apparently lost the original image that he sent me and felt fine in sending the collage from my website, and that is fine. Tim was unaware that the combined photo/T206 image came from someone else's website, and clipped off the card immediately. So, sorry about that Tim. As promised, I am sending a c.d. to one of the owners, with all original images that I can find, but I do not have most of the originals from my website - I had a hard-disc crash 6 years ago and lost everything that was not stored on the server or on discs. These were among the casualties, but I still have 30-40 others that haven't been 'collaged' yet.

As far as the stats and stuff on the new site, if I discovered for the first time that dogs bite, it might surprise you, but you can't fault me with presenting that information along with other qualities of dogs that were previously unknown to anyone (new dog discoveries), and you can't expect me to try to go find the first person ever bitten by a dog, so that I can give them credit.

(I, too, like applesauce. My gf's father makes it from trees in his backyard, and sends me a container each Christmas.)

I haven't had a lot of time to look at the site yet, but I did check out a couple of the pages and I'm astounded thus far with it's organization and clarity. I've accumulated a lot of T206 cards, but not as much information on some aspects of the set and I'm sure this site will be the next go-to spot for me.

I also didn't read all of this thread, but I'd like to point out that Tim has been one of the most respectful board members since he's started posting here. Not to mention, his posts are informative to say the least.

Good job guys.

Yeah, I only know Tim from his discussions on the board the last few months, and have based my opinions entirely on that. I'm sure there are some older posts where he was totally respectful, as you say.

Simple answer me, and I will never let you take my title Scott!

Tim, is ok but like McKee quite the drunkard.

Cheers,

John

I was basically saying that it should be me. Thanks for spoiling it.

We should form a circus of indignation. Wrinkling Brothers.
