DonI've always thought it might be fun to collect T206 this way.......
The 150 series really has 156 cards in it. However, the backs say baseball series 150 subjects.
So, just collect 150 cards, all with the 150 series backs, and presto, you have a "complete" collection. This allows you to bypass the expensive cards, but still have some nice HOFers. It's also a small set relatively speaking.
It would also be a good launching point for further T206 collecting if you chose to go that route. I'd recommend getting them all with the same back however, i.e. piedmont, sweet caporal, or sovereign instead of mixing backs.
I've thought about trying this "set" for a couple of years now, I've just never got up the initiative to start it. Maybe with 2009 being the 100th anniversary of the T206 150 series release, I'll get motivated.
