Tinker, Evers and Chance

[Gorditadogg]

I am mostly a 50's and 60's collector, but as a Chicagoan, I have always been interested in the great Chicago teams from the early 1900"s. Tinker, Evers, and Chance, of course, were among the most well-known of the old Chicago players, and I have been thinking of getting cards of this trio of bear cubs to display in my office. Which ones would you recommend I get?

t205 would be my first choice.

This group would be my next choice.

why not finish it in one card? It's even in the correct order from left to right!

Excellent picks James!
I really like the t205 trio and the t202.
I like how the t205 trio goes well together with color and matching set coordination.
The t202 is nice too!

Seconded for the Tinker/Evers/Chance T202. I'm not an oversized card collector (though I have a few), but this one in particular is too on-the-nose to ignore.

It's also rather reasonably priced for a card with 3 HOF'rs over 100 years old. You can get a nicely presenting mid-range example for $1000-ish. It was about half this price pre-2000, but I'm not sure we're going back anywhere near those prices anytime soon.

If you go this route make sure you get the Tinker/Evers/Chance version. There's versions with just 1 or 2 of the 3 out there. You're looking for the exact card image linked above.

Also, a notable amount of T202s have a bit of variation with color print ghosting from not being well lined up. If that would bother you check the image carefully before bidding/buying.

Well, if we're talking "display" I don't think any "cards" can beat the good ole' m113 posters, unfortunately there isn't a Tinker version, maybe throw in his m101-2? :

There are some good options available to you. When I pulled my Tinker, Evers & chance trio together I opted for the T206. It took me a while but have always liked the grouping. Good luck!

…and I will likely never get one…
