Team Bat Sets
Mark,
Interesting that bring up the 1975-1976 Reds. Very popular team set, consistent starters for both years and no shortage of those bats (Not that they are cheap). But what you may be forced to go after really depends on the team. 80% of a 162 game schedule is 130 games. Every one of the “The Great Eight” hit that 80% threshold for both the 1975 and 1976 seasons. But with other clubs, it’s not always so clean. Consider the 1969 New York Mets, another very popular team set. For those largely recognized as starters for that club, only Cleon Jones and Tommy Agee hit the 80% mark. The 1969 Mets had 11 position players with over 100 games. Dave Grob |

1. What team? T206 set.
2. Why you picked it? Love the players associated with the T206 set. 3. Toughest bat of the set (NOT the most expensive)? Most are impossible. 4. Was there one that got away? Recently in REA, Wildfire Schulte went for $13,200 with the juice. Insane! 5. How close are you? I have about 30 with one duplicate (Harry Davis). So not close at all! |

Team Set
I think we can close the thread. I don't think we are going to find a more interesting or challenging team bat set than the "T206" set.

Nah. 1993 SF Giants are more interesting!

What makes Brendan's quest even tougher is that, in the spirit of collecting t206's, he has to get all the different brands and variations of each bat (H&B, Spalding, Stall & Dean Wright & Ditson, etc.). Not to mention the different weights, lengths, and finishes. Last edited by Mark; 06-08-2019 at 11:20 AM. |

The 1924 St. Paul Saints.
I have been working on a Saints collection for a long time now. My initial interest began almost 25 years ago when my father and I found some old ticket stubs of games my grandfather went to in the early 20s. 1924 was particularly interesting because the Saints won the Junior World Series that year. They are extremely obscure. I have 8 or 9 from the players from the team so far. First of all, it wouldn't surprise me if most of the players on the team didn't even have their own model bats. Secondly, who back in 1920s would have saved broken bats of no-name players? Superstars will always command top dollar, but their must be dozens of Babe Ruth used bats out there for every Bruno Haas bat. Most of my bats survived because they are Hillerich vault bats. I missed out on two bats so far. Nick Allen and Oscar Roettger. Making it more difficult, many of the Saints played for the 1920s Yankees teams. 12 of the 1927 Yankees played for the Saints. That might sound like a cool historical footnote, but it is a massive pain in the ass when you're a collector. It is a set that is impossible to complete, but the search is the best part. Chris

Here is a ball from the 1924 Junior World Series. The scores from the first three games were recorded on the ball.
Lefty Grove was pitching for the Orioles that series.

Don't hate me, but I had a Nick Allen bat at one time as part of my 1919 Reds collection. I gifted it to an individual who helped me land a jersey I was after. Dave Grob |

Of course with all the talk of team bats I wonder why I’ve never even thought about collecting a specific year for an Orioles team; loved all those teams. |

A nearly complete collection of the 1998 Yankees, all on 1998 model bats.

I have a half dozen random Orioles bats that I picked up years ago but never considered chasing a specific year's team or lineup. It would be a fun project but given how full my hobby room is now I'd be hard pressed to find a way to display them. I'm afraid they'd end up like the ones I have...in a closet.

I only have one GU bat besides a Brookie and that is a Ken Singleton. I picked it up years and years ago. If I was to ever collect O’s bats I’d likely just go after the starting position players and really not be particular of a specific year (I’m sure a F. Robby would be costly). Of course with two player bats I’d still have a long way to go. By the way I’d love to see that packed hobby room! |
