Hi Eric

I'm regularly searching for another McGraw with a UZIT back. If I find one before you do, I will immediately contact you.

Much appreciated Ted. And a spare Plank would be great as well!

I must add my Walter Johnson to this mix. This picture is absolutely the best looking image in the entire T206 set.
It's certainly my most favorite T206 card.






Hey guys......how's about posting some of your favorite T206's here.

Ted, here is my favorite card from the entire set. It's a good representation of Cobb, and I like the colors:

A couple of other favorites are of course the Walter Johnson portrait, the nicest portrait in the set, and the Matty Black Cap. The Mathewson looks so well done that it could almost pass for a photograph.

My favorite front/back combo is the Merkle Brown Lenox. It's a 1 of 1, and I mean to keep it until I die.

This one needs an explanation. I began collecting cards in 1965, when I was eight. Of that first set, my favorite card was Yastrzemski. I love the pose. Of course I know now that it was staged, but at the time I really thought that they had photographed him in the act of catching a fly ball.

The Mitchell card reminds me so much of my first favorite card that it has become a favorite as well:
