On an aside, I began collecting doublefolders after winning an auction with two lots, both SGC, one with 50's, the other 80's. The prices on the higher end cards were more than reasonable compared to T206, and the size of the set makes it attractive to collecting and upgrading. The market can be thinner, and you will not see cards available like the Monster, but that means your opportunity, to my way of looking at things, is actually greater. Look at the number of Mecca sets on the registries in comparison to other prewar sets. It is also much, much easier to upgrade a 50 card set in comparison to a 524 card set. (unh, I think I said that already). And yeah, I appreciate stats on cards. Nothing like .385 batting averages to show why certain players are revered 112 years later. Happy collecting!!

I have 2 of the T201s (Evers/Chance ungraded and Johnson/Street SGC 35). Both of mine seem to have a "curved cut". Is that so the legs match up with the upper body when the card is folded?
I do like the drawings, even if they don't bear much resemblance to the players.

Great set to collect. They are less expensive yet they have the players stats on them as well as a clean old-fashioned look as they are over 100 yrs old. The only downfall is if the star (Cobb) is on the back side of the card so you only see 1/2 of him. I was able to purchase Mathewson, Johnson, and Speaker cards for the price of a single T206 of Mathewson or Johnson.

I've always liked T201...from a design aspect. Sadly though...most of the allure to me is actually showing people how they fold over to create another player...which is totally lost once they are slabbed! If I were to collect them...they'd have to be free...or atleast 1 example for demonstration purposes!

Pete, I may be losing my mind (impossible you say--that happened long ago), but I seem to recall a grading company actually slabbing a folded T201, no doubt at the customer's request. Since they were already folded once, it seems somewhat intuitive that they should not be downgraded further for folding. In the case of Cobb it might look pretty neat too. Just sayin.
