T-209, or something similar?
I'm on the hunt!

You are correct. The T209 set was a regional set produced in 1910. The original production totals of the set are dwarfed by that of the T206 set, thus this could prove to be quest that will take you some time (and money) to complete. Individual T209 cards can be found, and hopefully someone here on the board can hook you up with one, but they are FAR tougher to find than an individual T206 card.

It is wonderful to hear from a relative of a deadball player, and I very much look forward to seeing the image that you have of your great grandfather.

Is there anything else that has been passed down within the family relating to him? Equipment or autographs etc? Any of these items would have value.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi......a really nice board member responded to my wanted add and had a duplicate card from his t-209 set.
It's a beauty... Graded a 3.
I can't wait to get it. I'm really thankful. The ultimate piece for me!

Now that I'm hooked on t-206 and am gaining a collection.....

I'm wondering, is there anyway to track my GGP's career?

Meaning: I don't suppose there is a site that could show who he faced while playing with the Naps in 1909...

Did he face Cobb? Did he sit him down?
Etc etc...

Possible?

I've been googling but figured this is my best shot.

Thanks!
