T206 REFERENCE....T206-like T209 (CONTENTNEA) 1st series....show us your T209 cards
Quote:
Jason I'd love to see the card with Jim Thorpe's image on it. As you probably know, Thorpe played for Rocky Mount and Fayetteville during the Summers of 1910-11. Supposedly, those two brief experiences in professional Baseball cost Jim his medals and trophies, which he won in the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. He was forced to return them. Gee, it would have been really neat if they had included a card of Thorpe in this set. Good Luck putting together the color set. TED Z T206 REFERENCE....convenient access to T206 checklists .

Ok here we go and this is just a theory. As mentioned Jim Thorpe played for Fayetteville in the 1910-1911 season. I believe that some cards depict images from preseason camps as a few players that have cards seem to never have played a game with the designated team. Background players on some cards seem to be waiting their turn to take infield practice. So that brings me to the Lavoia card from the Highlanders team. Notice the very stocky player in the background. He is awaiting his turn as possibly the backup first baseman. Of course I have zero proof of it actually being Jim Thorpe. Its just fun to think it is!

I bought my first T209-1 in 2017, but didn't buy my second one for another three years. In the past year I've purchased 4 of the 5 I own. At this rate I hope to complete the set in about three years!
I really enjoy collecting the more obscure sets. These guys were playing in C and D leagues, in what I have to imagine, not the best conditions and not for a great deal of money. There is a certain mystique surrounding this time in baseball that originally drew me to T206 cards. While I still collect T206, I get a little more excited each time I add one of these cards to my set. I also own 13 of the T209-2. The B&W add a little more to the grittiness of baseball at that time. I doubt I'll ever complete the set, but I will continue to collect these gems as they come along.
