Is there a place that checklists the set by player and team. I'm looking for any Texas Leaguers that played in San Antonio. |

If you have Lew Lipset's book, you cull all that info from his checklist. |

The shame is that with all the attention now being paid the T210s, those of us who had a nice start on the set, find ourselves sitting on them and probably selling them when the time is right because the cost of making a major dent in the set is prohibitive. |

I agree with Bob. It is selfish to not want new vintage collectors to get involved with this area of the hobby, but for those of us that have been collecting since T206's cost a buck or two the "new guys" have increased demand and caused prices to skyrocket. I have been selling pieces that I thought would remain in my collection for ever. Unless I hit the lottery, I will have to continue to sell so that can continue to purchase. I have been forced to prioritize my collection. |

Even with the increasing number of large lots that have appeared over the last couple of years, I still don't see very many singles popping up. I've been hunting for my last 3 Columbus players to complete the team set, but they're not to be found. |

Thank you Jay and Martindl. I guess I'm blind; I have Lew Lipset's book and have looked at it many times, but didn't remember T210 being listed. |

Well, I've given up on all of the cards, except for Series 6. |

I am also collecting only Series 6 and frankly once I complete my Frankfort team ( Beard and Bohannon needed) I will probably stop that --there are just too many other nice cards out there at much more affordable prices. |

Can someone educate me on t210 dimensions. Are they similar in size to t206? I have one that looks VERY short to me. |

Just curious- why only Series 5 or only Series 6? Is it because your hometown team is in that series? |

I got interested in the Series 6 cards when I discoverd the Frankfort team( my former hometown) I was researching the history of the team after I discovered an old newspaper story about the 1910 Frankfort Lawmakers and saw the T210 Hoffman card which depicted him in a Frankfort jersey --just started collecting after that --and since the other teams in the Bluegrass League were frequently mentioned in the newspaper stories of the time it made it even more interesting to collect the Frankfort opponents as well. I will still come across interesting stories from the papers 1908-1912 and can go back and look at the cards and see the faces of the players plus there is a very active historical society in Frankfort and I am able to consult with them and have on occassion been able to help someone doing family research on a ballplayer.The cards just add a wonderful visual element to the research. |

I'm not 100% certain, and I don't have any books with me, but I think the T210 size is identical to T206, nominally 1.4375 (1 and 7/16) by 2.625 (2 and 5/8) inches. |
