A T207 is a very colorful baseball card, if dark brown is your favorite color!

The only card I've ever wanted from this set is the Speaker. Always loved the image in an otherwise plain set.

I feel the same way about the Max Carey. Never wanted to go after the set like t205 and t206.

I bought some because I wanted a t206 size Carey--along with a t206 size Wood, McKechnie, and Gowdy. But I need to save my pennies for a Fournier. For a colder set, it has some expensive rarities.

Depends on your definition of hot. Hot as in T206 hot? Nah. Hot as in will prices go back up? My guess is yes.

They are so much tougher than T206 and T205 and while rarity isn't the only barometer in determining collectability, it's important to remember that they were previously more valuable. I've been working on a set for the past year and can't tell you how many times I've heard from sellers that the rarer commons in particular used to command so much more. Prices have cooled a little but that happens with most sets. There's a lot of ups and downs in collecting.

I was drawn to them after working on T205 and T206 and I suspect others have taken that path. As more collectors work on those sets and look for an alternative, I think more will find T207. And the challenge of completing a set will be attractive to some as well.

I personally enjoy the cards. I don't think the aesthetics are real great but there are some poses that I really, really like. They're a win with me but that's more in a context of just enjoying the T205, T206, and T207 sets collectively. Each is distinctly different and I enjoy each one for different reasons.

I love one card from the set: Grover Hartley. That's it. Otherwise, it's a relatively ugly design in an era - as previously mentioned - with tons of excellent eye-appeal sets.

But don't forget the craquelure that for some reason the grading companies don't penalize for. I had a gorgeous one with no cracking and it got the same grade (6) as a comparable card with.

I personally like the set, as it has a definite "old west" vibe.

The big problem is that there are so many short-prints and rarities, that getting anywhere close to completing the set is, for many collectors, a pipe dream.

I've elected to collect the HOFers in the set, as well as a few other favorites.

Like others, I'll go with "probably not"...

With that said, brown might be an ugly color, but not when it has a red back.

[ullmandds]

i like them...but the answer is an emphatic Lowdermilkian...NO!!!!!

Steve, obviously the colored Red Cross reverse makes this card special. Only other one I remember is a Weaver, but not in as nice shape as yours. Can't be many for sure. Great card,

I think that there was a Lowdermilk as well, and if I'm correct the less said about that one the better.

275 degrees for 14-16 minutes in a brown oven.

They will not stick to the pan.

T207 cards are awesome. I like the differnent backs and bios. Very classy set in my opinion

[glynparson]

I like the set a lot but I vote probably not on the getting hot front. Could they increase in value or demand sure but I don't think they'll ever be the hottest set around.
