I look at the 206 set as the gateway. You start there and advance into better. Stopped collecting them 6 yrs ago but good news is my 8 yr old collects them

You know that I'm not bashing here. You and I have talked about T205's quite a bit these past years. The back bios are certainly a welcomed feature....missing in T206's.
In my opinion, I would have preferred that American Litho. printed more of a mix of action images in the T205's (similar to the 12 images of the Minor Leaguers). Here are
examples of T205 portraits that IMO are great....Matty, Johnson, Baker, Bresnahan, Wheat (and more). Conversely, there are some images that are "bad".....e.g., Cobb.
