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.....).
