Very cool story behind the Zach Wheat scrapbook. WOW!

And that is one beautiful letter from Mr. Snodgrass, not to mention the signed card and photo included!

Thanks for sharing everyone!

I can never pick a favorite, but here are a few that are among my current favorites:

[Prince Hal]

This is the first T206 player (not this actual card) I purchased and is still one of my favorites.

luke! please share about the oms's and the story behind yours....ganley epdg rarity....jackson's not a 150/350 what gives on that??? I know hahn is

My main project for the last couple years has been trying to get a copy of each 150-350 subject (besides Wagner and Plank) with either a Sovereign, OM, EPDG, or Hindu back. If there is another tough back, like P350 for the elite 12, I try to get that one.

Old Mill is my favorite back, and I recently got a nice group of them from the 350 and 460 series, and decided I will go after all of them.

Part of the group of my first 5 vintage cards, and I love every perfectly placed crease.

this took a long time to get, and I had to give up a lot of my fav t206....and thanks to a few fellow board members this is my crown jewel......but to own a "design change" T206 proof ....a basic "protype" from the final design....it's indescribable.....I'm truly blessed......the cap on whitey is designed differently( shape and stripes that are not part of color, rather design of the card).....the "thumb" and right hand drawn differently.....

Keith o mentions this very card in a proof article he wrote...

there a few "type 1's" that we now know were "not part of the final design of the card" and were essentially re designed before the final printing....

"type 1 proofs" as dubbed by the t206 resource . com....


alperman, pastorius, McIntyre, Matty, Shulte (front view), nicholls....were all pre final design cards......

these certain proofs within the proofs are very special.........either the board or the final artist re designed them for some reason before the final approved design for final production was approved....they are one of a kind pieces of history....

thanks to adam g, hank l, chris b, Erick s, jantz m, bryan l,jamie b, jim r, mike s, wonka, and so many others im so sorry I haven't mentioned, helping getting this card for me
