I 10000000000000% agree with this, and cannot stress it enough. There are so many little-known facts about each player, especially Pre-War, that are FASCINATING.

My first ever T206 was a Neal Ball (Cleveland). I researched and researched and researched to find a player with a cool story behind him. Ball was the first person credited with an unassisted triple play. Cy Young was the pitcher, and Shoeless Joe was in the OF. Ball was the only player to run off the field, as everyone else stood in dismay, confused by what just happened.

Get to know the players on your cards - you never know what you'll learn.
