Hi Eric
The back bio's do add a nice flavor to the set. There are lots of collectors of T207s but not to the extent of the white borders... The errors are often overlooked too. This Bressy was bought from an experienced board member and he didn't even know it had a double image on it. That would never happen with a T206...

Default "Red Quintfecta"
Anyone have a Red Dooin with a Cycle back they can post an image of? Red in the name, Red hair, red lips, red emblem and red back. A true red quintfecta.

Leon - I need the Tinker. Want some T206's in trade for it

I am not married to Tinker. Find me a similar replacement and he is yours. I have him for the Recruit back so that won't be hard to find..... And before you go to any lengths I should put my hands on him again.....He has been hiding in my card confusion (aka collection) for a while now .

I just finished my 18-card T207 Red Sox team set. This was a real challenge - the Red Sox might be the toughest team in the set to complete...many of the cards are very tough, including Bushelman and Hageman (my understanding is that Hageman's scarcity is made worse by a member of the Hageman family hoarding many examples of this tough card).

Even the Speaker and Hooper cards are tough from the set, and therefore relatively expensive.

With a little help from Leon on a trade for Tinker, I will be down to the Ward Miller to complete my Cubs set. The Saier took me awhile, but it was more a matter of what I was willing to pay where as the Miller is a matter of finding one. There are a lot of Cubs set collectors needing him for their subsets.

The Cubs are fairly simple outside of the Saier and Miller so I agree that your Sox set is more challenging. I am just now reading the research done on this set and from what I have gathered, it is extremely tough.

Hi Eric,

Yes - there is definitely an element of difficulty that comes from what you want to pay for the grade (I had a couple opportunities to knock off the last few toughies, but for a price higher than I wanted to spring, so I waited...for several years...)

Even several of the less-talked-about Red Sox commons are tough in this set - like Thomas, Engle, and Carrigan.

And other tough/expensive cards are Joe Wood and Eddie Cicotte:

The only known Red Cross cards are with the Broadleaf series fronts.

And although there are proportionately very few HOFers in the set, there are some very nice images...I really like the Max Carey:

Just missing Ward Miller for a complete set of T207 Cubs. All of mine are recruit backs with the exception of Vic Saier who has the anonymous back. All are in a frame except Saier who I recently picked up in August. Sharp set in my opinion.

Default T207s
Here are some pages from the T207 book I wrote around the same time as the Monster. Thought you'd enjoy. The Red Cross back should be familiar to all board members. I can't seem to figure out how to attach images. Any help?

I sold my T207s a while back, but Mike Simon has always been my favorite image in the set. I'd like to have some pajamas that match his uniform.

That is not a possible back for Dooin. He is in the Recruit back series.
