Why do you collect T206's as opposed to other cards/sets?

[flavius]

I think the set makes you wonder more than any other set. They are such small cards, almost unbelievably small, and the graphics on them are so child-like. Not only do they take you back to a time that you can only imagine was like, but they do so in a very relatable manner. They are unlike any other set ever made, from the size, to the layout on the cards, the variety of the backs, and the lack of player stats/information. The cards are from a time period when baseball wasn't so much a "sport", but more like a gentlemen's game and something you sit down at the dinner table and have a good laugh about. The colors are so vivid yet simplistic and deep, and I think that is the main advantage it has over 19th century cards and things like t205.
