While I am certain that every other card in this thread is more valuable than my latest pickup, I just cannot believe how much I have fallen in love with this little piece of cardboard. This is the first ungraded T206 I've ever owned, and as I pulled it out of it's top loader and penny sleeve tonight, and held it in my hands, the history of this little common overwhelmed me. I started to think about the travels this card must have taken. The rounded corners, scrapes, stains and dimples on the front and back tell a story. Who first pulled it out of a pack of Piedmont tobacco back in 1909 or 1910? Who may have owned this card, and where? It's a feeling I haven't gotten from any of the graded cards I've added. They, too, are beautiful, but there is something to be said for being able to feel a card in your hand, and smell it. It's just an amazing feeling.

Bill, that's what got me hooked on low grade/beater T206s. Especially holding a small stack of 20-50 raw cards!

It's a magical feeling, isn't it, Jon? I couldn't believe it when I held the card up to my nose. I got a whiff of the tobacco that the card was packaged with a century ago.

The Monster has its claws in me, no doubt.

Default Finally Got A Good Scan
Just got the good scan done.

Still can't believe I found this card in un-mangled condition at a decent price; what some guys are asking on 1s that are very rough on the eye is wild.

nice cards Luke and Matt. I've always been a fan of the T206 Donlin in that pose as well, plan on picking one up at some point.

That Jackson is sweet for a fair graded card!

Bill, I am also considering a Rossman that a card shop has that is also raw. I agree that it is a beautiful card. Have you heard the story about Rossman and the game he got in a fight with another player after being baited by Cobb. It is very interesting also sounds like he was a great fielder as well. His Wikipedia was interesting.

Great cards, guys. Matt, that Shoeless Joe is unreal. That's one for the bank vault!

Thank you, mrvster. I am most definitely bitten. Unfortunately, while I am collecting the monster--slowly--there are several other sets that are taking a nibble, too. I really want to start working on the T202 Hassan Triple Folders set, and there are several I want to pick up from the '53 Bowman Color set, just to name a few. But that's one of the best things about this hobby. You can collect however you want. There's no right way or wrong way to do it. So while I check off the occasional T206 over the years, I can still pick up cards from other players I love, in other sets I love. And, I can still work on my modern card collection. I just have to be patient.

Jason, I have to admit I know next to nothing about Claude Rossman yet (beyond his being a teammate of Cobb's). I briefly looked up his page on Baseball Reference before pulling the trigger, but that just scratched the surface. I love portraits, and thought the Rossman had incredible eye appeal for an unslabbed card. Lee had it up for sale at a really good price, so it was too good to pass up.

I was really surprised at the visceral reaction I had when I held it in my hands sans penny sleeve or top loader. Admiring them in person when slabbed is one thing, but holding them in their natural state is something else completely. The color, for one thing, really pops. And looking at it under magnification..you really get a feeling for the journey this little piece of cardboard has taken over the last century.

Let me know if you pick up the one at your local card shop.

Erick, congrats on getting a little closer to completing the set. That's a really nice Stahl.

I think I'll be getting close to 400 about the year 2024.
