Chuck and Bob--great cards and stories. Always special when you have a card that embodies a unique memory like that!

If I had to pick just one, it would probably be this one.


1977 I moved to a new town, and asking kids about baseball cards got both odd looks - since I was a high school freshman- and the info that just in the center of town there was a whole store for cards.
Oh the things they had!
Up till then, the only idea I had about cards older than 1969 came from the Hank Aaron specials from 74, and one 1968 I'd traded for.
I really liked the T206s, which they'd put in pockets on 3x5 cards with the players name and some stats. I liked the sort of pastel images and scenery, and would stop by pretty much every chance I had to hang out and talk cards, or just spend a bunch of time looking. But the nice ones were just a bit more than I was willing to spend. a whole 1.50 !
One day the said hello, and by the way we've got something we saved for you. A T206! Not in great shape, in fact almost torn all the way across the upper left corner. But only 20 cents, and it was a Polar bear back. After I showed it off to mom and dad I had a little less trouble getting some extra spending money and eventually would buy more.

So I suppose my first T206 is still my favorite, because it's the card that started me collecting prewar cards. (The file cabinet of 60's-70's commons did the same for the then more modern stuff)

This is my favorite T206 I own. IMO, this pose is one of the most beautiful in the set.

Until I can snag one of the rarer backs, this EPDG is the favorite in my collection. The scan is terrible. It's a nice SGC 40.

Great choice Mike. I think that that Cobb is the best looking card in the set.

This is my favorite T206. It is of Zach Wheat and was owned by Zach. It came out of his scrapbook. In fact have his entire Brooklyn T206 team set from the same scrapbook. Zach was born in my hometown and I have been collecting him for about 35 years.

Sorry for the redundancy, but my submission would also be a Cobb Bat Off. Aside from being one of my first T206s, it happens to be one of my wife's favorite cards. Every time we see a beautiful technicolor sunset now, she says it's a "Ty Cobb sunset." Cheesey, I know.
