Most interesting, esoteric sets - T206 collectors do not read

[photo111]

I was just curious about "the truth". I thought maybe you had a message to send. Like a David Koresh kind of thing. Sorry I asked.

I admit that I can be an @ss - if you read any of my posts, this is no secret. My signature line was basically an f-you to all the trolls and second-hand glory leaches who have been giving me a hard time lately over expressing my opinion(s).

But along with being an @ss, I like to think I also contribute something useful to the hobby. The rapport that I still have with most T206 collectors on the board would indicate that this is true, if only just a very tiny bit.

Whenever I see a jab post like yours, from a relatively non-poster, I check his other posts to get a feel for the context. The context I get from yours is that like me, you can be an @ss, but unlike me, you seem to be an @ss exclusively.

Perhaps I'm wrong. Show us something.

I actually like most of your posts. But, when you start talking about "the truth" in big bold letters, come on. I probably have the worst pre-war collection out of anyone on the board. I don't have anything in better than beat to shit condition. But I love what I have and wouldn't change any of it.
I come here to read and learn, and I have in fact, learned alot. One of the things that I have learned:
Do not wrinkle the shorts of the second largest self-righteous clown on the board. He will cry to the moderator and try to get me removed because I threw a jab at one of the most ridiculous claims I have ever seen.
Hey everyone! The truth is coming!
Leon, you can kick me off now.

??? Don't smoke the hydroponic stuff.

Leon - please DO NOT let this guy talk himself off the board yet. He's getting amusing.

Michael- anything you have said so far will not even come close to getting you banned. There have been less than a handful of people banned in 7 yrs. Just keep your name in your posts and you can pretty much say what you want to per the rules (everyone should read them). There are a few things that will get you banned though.....talking about someone's family, talking about adolescent porn, not adhering to the rules after multiple warnings etc....but just saying I am an ass, crappy moderator, this board sucks....as long as you have your name out there in your post all of that is within the rules. I try to be as lenient as humanly possible as I believe everyone has a right to say what they want to and give their opinion, good, bad or indifferent. regards

Hi Scott, this is an interesting topic. I love the T206's, but I wanted to tackle a set that I could actually complete without being a multi-millionaire. I wanted a set that didn't have a lot of cards and a set that didn't have a lot of really high priced cards.

I love New Orleans, and I love the Louisiana card issues, so I decided that I would work on T213's. There are a lot of T213-2's around but there are nearly 200 cards in the set, so I decided to start working on Type 1's and Type 3's. These are beautiful, interesting cards, but I didn't realize how few are available. So, it looks like it will be a long haul, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Rick, it's a shame you didn't get started on Coupons about 8 years ago - there were a few hoards that were dumped on ebay at very reasonable prices. I think I bought 2-3 Bakers. They might have been Type 2's, though.
