Team set collectors for T206

[Kawika]

Have been gradually throwing together a beaterish Giants sub-set. Still need three, none of them difficult. Will finish it one of these days.

That's how I collect T206's. I started out by working on a White Sox team set. After I finished that, I decided to take on the master team set.

Right now, I'm about at the halfway point with 144 out of 304 confirmed front/back combinations. I doubt that I'll ever finish it, but it will be fun to try!

I would start with the A's, then the Pirates.

I hear those are easy

I collected the Newark/Jersey City players, finished and moved on to T205s, now doing C46s.

Yeah, that Wagner won't be any problem at all.

David, I love that Donlin fielding. It's a really tough one to find in EX condition.

I had only a passing interest in T206 until I found this site. See link in my signature for my Detroit Tiger set. Need 2 more, Cobb (Green and bat on).

Since I have other pursuits I'm a low grade T206 collector. I do not believe I'll chase any other T206s unless I find some money.

Cleveland has 25 cards. I'm currently at 21 different backs. Tough to get all 25 different.

You are going for a master back set?

[jimhopkins82]

I'm an A's fan so this wasn't an option for me.

Jon, which players/backs are you missing?

I started out building a Cleveland team set myself with as many different backs as possible.

Gave up and tried something easier, like putting a T206 set together.

Do you have an Easterly with a Tolstoi back?

No master set for me. Just looking for as many different backs as possible for a 25 card team set. Too many P150/SC150 type cards to expand much past my current number of 21. Saw that Easterley CB back last fall @ Goodwin, but didn't want to part with my AB350 Easterley (only AB). Last card added was an upgrade - Rhoades Cycle 350.

I am a Yankee collector, and try to put Yankee team sets together from all sets.

I have put the T206 Yankee team together, worrying about the pictures on the front only, i dont care whats on the back.

I have 28 different fronts of T206 Yankees, and as far as I know, unless there are some rare obscure variations that i dont know about, thats the full Yankee team set.

I'm assuming you aren't counting the Doyle variation as a separate card.

You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT SIR!! As Ed McMahon would have said to Johhny. That NOT in my collection or in what i consider a Yankee team set!!

I'm currently building a Cincinnati T206 team set in VG to VGEX. I just have 4 more to go. I feel like building a team set is definitely the way to go if you're just starting out collecting T206...especially if you're from a city that doesn't have a team with the Big Four

And thanks to all the Net54 members who have sold me their Cincy cards in my small quest to complete the set.

[jcmtiger]

I have the complete Team set of Detroit Tigers.

Just scratched the surface on starting a St.Louis Browns T206 team subset (haven't really heard that team mentioned) Also, continuing to pick up some big name low grade HOF's as well.

So far I think I've got 3 Browns and 2 pending out of 22.
Much more attainable goal than 522 cards lol.
