Joann... never cease to amaze me.
Really. Sorry to start a whole new thread, but I just had to. I was going to post this in the current thread about players that don't have a T206 card, but thought it may be missed by those with other interests.
With all of the occasional bickering and dissent, the breathtaking knowledge on this board is always there, never completely absent.
Between just two threads in the top portion of Page 1 - the T206 missing player thread and the one about the Hindu ads - we see the depth of members' instant knowledge of not only T206's, but also players, leagues, teams, businesses, geography, rivalries, commerce, licenses, advertisements and who knows what all else!
And most importantly, all of these topics are woven together in a fun and easy read that brings facts, context and food for further thought all into a few dozen posts. To me, that is just amazing.
Sorry again to start a whole thread about it, but when I consider myself half-a$$ knowledgeable about cards and read some of this stuff and realize how much I don't know - well sometimes the spirit just moves you!
Very well done, everyone.
Joann
Oh - and on a related note, if you want to see the same death-defying feats on the Memorabilia side, just go there now and read the post Rhys Yeakley made tonight about the baseball stereoview that just ended on ebay. And then bump around a few of the other threads. I'm becoming addicted to that side of the board too, and wish I could contribute anything to it.
