Wow! That's very surprising to me. I take it all back, T209-1 is an easy set to finish I know back a few years ago they were very hard to find, and I believe there was at least one person on here who was just missing Booles to complete their set.

Not yet. I've been thinking about it, but I do hope that someone will talk me out of it. As a completionist set collector, I don't need that kind of stress in my life!

Hi Dan

Years ago, I had about 80 of of the T209-2 cards. But like you, I've always been a set collector, and at any given time I am in the process of completing several sets.
So, it did not appeal to me to continue collecting T209-2 cards. After considering that it would have been a very, very long journey.

Hey Dan,

As you know I have the complete 1st series. If you are obsessed with completion, T209-2 is not for you. I have focused on just the North Carolina teams for several years now. There are 114 total and I only have 55. I haven't been able to add even 1 new one for many months although I am actively looking. Quite frustrating!

I don't have very many but, when I sold my original collection in 1986 I saved the cigarette cards that I had:

TUESDAY NITE TRIVIA

Name this T206 player. Here's a hint....in the 9th inning of a crucial game at the end of the season, the player of interest was at bat. He hit the ball very hard to Right Field.
The following controversial Umpire's call as to whether it was fair or foul resulted in his team losing the game and the Pennant.

And, his name is not Fred Merkle

The 1st guy with the correct answer will be rewarded with a T206 card. To quote Ringo Starr: "It Don't Come Easy". I'll be surprised if someone quickly identifies this player.

I look forward to your responses.

Hooray! Who knew that obsessive reading about the 1908 pennant race could be so useful and rewarding?

Thanks so much, Ted, for your generosity and your fun question. I have learned so much from you here on Net54, and I deeply appreciate your generosity - both for the card and for all of the research you have shared. Thank you.
