While I find the T206 a little more attractive, there is nothing wrong with the T205's. In fact for a prewar issue, it's a set that is definitely attainable. Not a huge amount of cards, etc. I am plugging away at both, but finding it very expensive to make a lot of progress on both, but just taking my time plugging away.

I feel that the popularity of the t206 set makes the cards much more available. Every auction has plenty to choose from, but many times there are few or no t205s available. It is very rare to see an auction with a good selection of t205s, especially the rarer cards. |

A few years ago, I contemplated collecting the Brooklyn T205s (or Cardinals) and even created a master list. Stupidly, I threw it away. I can go back and recreate it. Is this a realistic goal? I am not even certain that I would go all in on the backs and might perhaps just be satisfied with an example of each player. Not really sure yet... I just have regained the hankering this week.

Is that Elberfield trimmed? The bat ear bottom corners worry me.

That is a cool looking card.
And to answer Scott's question above- I just recently acquired the Elberfield and once you said something I looked closer. I compared it to several other T205s I have and it is shorter than all of them. The seller had automatic refunds for 14 days so I am reluctantly (as I don't like to do that) returning it to the seller. I don't really want to knowingly buy a card with sharp corners that is a fair amount smaller than all (that I checked) the others I have. Better safe than sorry. Thanks again!! ps...I think the description, when I went back and read it, said some of these cards were in GAI holders before
