Thoughts on t201's
I have never bought pre-war cards, but I have been doing quite of bit of research, including reading this forum extensively. I saw a post mentioning the T201s and I became very interested. The set size is small, there are two players on each card, they are relatively inexpensive, and they look great. I am curious to read opinions from people much more versed in pre-war than myself.
Thanks and I look forward to your responses.

I think they're great for the reasons you listed above. Many people don't love the fact that they're not real photos and you don't even get a full picture of half of the players without folding the card.
As for me, it's a nice 50 card set which can be assembled for a decent price, so I'm all for it!

The T201 is probably the best set to collect if you are new to pre-war and would like to be able to complete a T-card set without breaking the bank.
Think about this, you can complete a baseball card set that is over 100 years old without going broke. I took about 7 years to complete my first T201 set. I wasn't in a hurry and I purchased the cards at the best price I could find. The internet (basically ebay) has made these cards very widely available.

Ironically... I just bought my very first T201 cards today... actually picked up the entire graded SGC set.... very affordable set with all the HOFers. Looks like you are a Braves fan... I'll catch you at one of the shows in Atlanta. I set up a few times a year.

Everyone has given great reasons why to collect the T201 set...all of them very true. I started over two years ago and only have eight left! I started because it was a prewar set, relatively cheap, and I knew it wasn't going to take me forever to finish. The set has really grown on me and I'm starting to feel anxious as the end is nearing...the chase has been great!
I started out collecting T206's (which I still do), but I wanted another set to collect because the 206 set is enormous and will take me forever to finish...so the T201 finish line gives me something to look forward to...a nice compliment set. With every card acquired, 2% comes off of the completion of the set! Doesn't get much better than that. Good luck with whatever direction you go... Mike

! I miss them already.... better start working on another one!This is a great set to collect - if you are a patient, you can get some really great deals. The graded cards confuse me though, sometimes I can't tell the difference between an SGC 30 and an SGC 50 at times! And, as previously mentioned, lots of HOFers.
