Have we exhausted all possible topics for T206 cards?

Funny, this thread is far and away the most responsive and opinionated that one of "Phil's Threads" has ever received............

It seems to work well when pleasing T206 collectors and screw everyone else............

All hard feelings aside, when I see a thread with T206 in the title, I skip over it. Unfortunatley, threads relating to my collecting interests are much fewer and farther bewteen. When I do find them, I always jump right in to the discussion and enjoy everyone else's feedback. Maybe one day, collector interest in my area of expertise will meet or exceed collector interest in T206's (surely it won't but it's always nice to dream anyway). In the meantime, you won't see me starting threads about which Baseball Hall of Fame Rookie Card has the widest border around the player's image, etc........

Frank- those are indeed some beautiful edges!

Phil, I do that with most T206 threads also, and I collect the set. I do the same with 'glove' threads, 'autograph' threads, 'bat' threads, and all other threads;i.e-if the title looks interesting I open it, regardless of the topic, although the Yee-love threads and autographed Ruth ball threads are a bit tiresome.

Funny thing - when I got back into this forum and started some threads, I got a few sarcastic responses about my posting about a repeat topic. Some people told me to use the 'search' function, some told me to shut up, but MOST were very polite in the way they told me that I was wasting their time . Given that the T206 set is so popular with new collectors, you've got to figure you will get a lot of very honest 'mistakes' like the ones I made. I would encourage forum members not to beat these guys up and run them off.

Also, I think your threads are very interesting - I actually open some threads based entirely on the poster, regardless of the topic, and you are one of them.

How about a "Meet and greet" thread just for T206 collectors?

I'm always sort of amazed when someone starts an anti-T206 thread. As others have posted, you don't have to read them..and in the time it took you to write the OP, you could have started a thread about the cards you like to collect. So, in the end, it's just T206 bashing IMO.

There are still these frontiers to explore:

1. Dressing up for Halloween as your favorite T206
2. Taking a T206 to prom
3. "Hoarders: The T206 Affair"
4. Dissolution: After many years of bliss and hundreds of T206s, my wife left me for a caramel card collector

Oh no, we've but scratched the surface.

If you could be a T206, which one would you be?
