What's up with t205s?

[Leon]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I think the t205s are a ton better looking than 206 and always have. I understand I am in the minority but it's my opinion and the way I feel . To me there is no better looking T206 than a T205 Cobb like this one. (shown a million times but who cares .....)

I am with you Leon T205 looks way better than T206. The card are beautiful even in poor condition. It sucks I only have 1 left, I am surprised these cards are not as popular, they look like they should be worth a ton. The Cobb is probably one of the best in the set and the only T205 I still own.

I'm a fan of T205s too, but find the set to be prescient. Specifically the different formats of the American and National Leagues in this set foreshadow the designated hitter rule which also makes the Leagues fundamentally different. Interestingly I prefer the style of the National League T205s and I prefer the National League without the DH. I like being consistent.

Completely agree with you Frank, concerning your preference for the National leaguers in the t205's. I started a collection of t205's several years ago in mid grade condition. I put that project on hold to assemble a set of 1914 Cracker Jacks. Now that I am done with the CJ's, I will probably continue heading down the path of t205's (hopefully before the prices recover completely.....).

totally agree leon. By far the best looking set. Although the T3's are pretty hot too, think they will be my next set, whenever I finish the T205!
