Collector poll- T206 vs. O.J.'s

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

OJs are more interesting but quickly get out of my price range.

I love and collect both sets. Both are endlessly interesting and aesthetically pleasing in their own ways.

Great Comiskey Jim. Now what T206 has a player with a black eye?

[mrvster]

all great points on both sides......I love both, but O.j.S will always be the bridesmaid to T206.....

There is no comparison to the T206 Wagner......yes, Mcgreachery, Anson Uniform......Huge cards, but don't shine a light to the popularity of WAGNER ...

that one card alone will always snuff this debate when it comes to "popularity" aspect of collecting baseball cards.....

even people who know nothing about baseball have heard of the "Wagner"....it spans across even hobbyists....

it has almost single "card-ed-ly" imho, kept baseball card collecting in the limelight and popular the last century.....

the debate could go on for ever I think....."tastes great! / less filling"....(of the old miller lite commercials)....


T206 vs. O.J.'s


the debate will always end before it begins if the wagner is factored into the equation....

Pretty much how I see it. I really like both sets, (Ok, make that any card set -I'm easy. ) I have more T206s because they're less expensive but I really enjoy my OJs.

Although.........They aren't anywhere near as nice as that one. Wonderful card.

I much prefer the T-206 over Old Judges. However, if you truly love the 19th century era most of all, collect the OJs. I imagine you'd be happier with more than a few cards, but if the few cards you would have represent the time period you favor the most, that's where you'll be more fulfilled.

Unfortunately, the cost is exorbitant no matter which of these you choose.

OR, identify what cards attract your eye the most from both sets---get a little of both. No law says you have to have just one. (card company issue, that is!!)

great advice! that's what I do....pick up an oj here and there and I obsess on T206

[LEHR]

For me it's N172's over T206 any day.

[Centauri]

I would take the T205 over either, but T206 over OJ. Color wins the day for me.

(But I love the stats and bios on the T205)

I love both! but I can't really afford ojs.....wanted everyone's opinion ..


which do you like more??

if neither, just don't respond haters

T206. As a Detroit Tiger and American League fan, hard for me to get excited about pre-1901 items. Would think differently if the heritage of the Wolverines were tied into the history of the Tigers officially.

Agreed... I would love to own some of the bigger names from the OJ set. Maybe eventually.
