Just to clarify what I meant in saying someone should write a book..
I’m reminded of a book I read shortly after it came out out in 2020-“The Wax Pack: On the Open Road in Search of Baseball’s Afterlife”. The concept was interesting to me. The author cracked open a pack of cards, I can’t remember off-hand,might’ve been like 89 Topps or something. Then he wrote a chapter about researching the life of each random player in the pack. Some were borderline stars,some were journeymen. It was a great read, and got to #7 on the LA Times best seller list, also named one of the best books of 2020 by NPR. Not saying a t206 book would do as well by any means. But there is so much publicity around this set, even casual collectors know some about it. And we all know about the Cobbs and Mathewsons. But not everyone knows about Bugs Raymond, or Dan McGann. Not saying everyone’s story is fascinating, but I know some are. And a good author could bring that to life. NO DOUBT it would be a labor of love. But I guarantee many of the thousands of T206 collectors on this board would read it. I simply disagree no one would read it. It would be unlike any Deadball era book written. I’m talking myself into writing it when I retire!
