Born and raised a diehard Cleveland Indians fan. Simple as that (now I did sell the team set to fund a bigger purchase, but I'll get back into it at some point).

I collect the Phillies, because they have always been my team.
From a T206 perspective, it has been quite fun to put together a T-206 Phillies team set, as my collecting journey on this over the last ±20 years has included the following: A famous error card Collecting examples in high grade and low grade Examples from each of the different advertising backs known to exist Proof cards Player runs Mr. Mustache It's been a fun journey for me. Depends on what you collect and how you like to collect, but there's a ton of ways you can have fun with a team set based module for the T206 set |

I find it interesting that when T206's are laid out in team groupings the Colors and general motiff of the cards are often the same. Chicago White Sox all look the same while St Louis players have a lot of red and yellows Toronto are all red ones etc
I would love to know more about the hierarchy of the players and how it was determined who would have a portrait and who would get a less-distinguished labor pose... and who got both! |

I collect my hometown team sets, but I have 2 hometowns so that expands it a bit for me.

Just picked up Frank Chance in T205 American Beauty last night off of ebay. A very difficult card. And also got an upgrade Chance in Piedmont 42.

Missing 6 cards including Drum Mordecai Brown and the 2 Hindus. Have seen 2 or the other 3 cards that are rare commons. So the short answer is yes I am close to completion.
