Help! (Please) looking for my great grand father on T-206!
Hi everyone
I am brand new to the world of tobacco cards and cards in general. I read a few articles about the t-206 set and became interested. My great grandfather played for Cleveland from 1907-1910, seabron "jessee" Red Booles. I've done a little googling and "believe" that he is either in the T-206 or T-209 set. Obviously I would love to acquire his card. Surely it's not one of the more valuable cards in the set as he was a journeyman pitcher that played for a few teams during his short career. Anyhow, any clarification on if this card even exists, if it's possible to aquire one etc.. Would be greatly appreciated. I found this site while researching about the cards. I'm very thankful. Thanks again

Goodness.... It very well could be...
Unique name.....I'm not sure if he played with Raleigh or not? Is there anyway to get a first name for the gentleman in that card? Is there anyone on here that possibly knows a little bit about the card (or even has one) Many, many thanks for the help!

Incredible!
I looked at the link...it seems to be eBay overseas? Please excuse my ignorance.... Is this a tobacco card of my great grandpa (t-206-209 series, or just a printed pic? The eBay auction didn't provide much of a description, or at least I couldn't find one. What better way to start my tobacco card collection than with him. Can these be found in the states?

The one shown in the link on ebay is a photo (worse than a reprint
 ). A real one from the T209 Contentnea color series would be a few, to several, hundred dollars depending on condition.

Just don't buy what is for sale in that Ebay link, it is a photo of the card and not the card itself (if all you are looking for is to print a nice picture then you can do better than what they have too, e.g., http://www.milehighcardco.com/lot-9438.aspx).

For this set I think it can be tougher to find a particular card. I think your best chance to find one is to ask around right here on Net54 - maybe post a WTB (wanted to buy) listing in the right section of our BST (Buy Sell Trade). You might get an offer just based on this thread too.
Good luck, I hope you find one!
