100th anniversary of T201's....show and/or tell us of your cards

If there ever were an issue that should not be slabbed this is probably the one. I enjoy that the colorful artwork seems to be unique to the set. Some of my few:

I was never a big fan of the T201 set before I acquired my first one, which was of Zack Wheat, autographed by Wheat himself. I have found that the signature on these cards interacts well with the images and colors found on T201 cards and makes me appreciate the set much more than I had before. In my view, a signed T201 card is a true work of art.

Below are some of my favorite signed cards, even including my signed T206 collection. Perhaps my most cherished is the T201 double-signed by both Larry Doyle and Chief Meyers. You can even see how Meyers' green ink was smudged when he folded it back to send it back in the mail to the original collector.

Great set - I like these cards and especially the lower prices of them! I am about 7 or 8 shy of a complete set - maybe with this being the 100th anniversary I should focus on knocking off the final cards I need...

Ted, did these cards originally come pre-folded in the packs? In your picture with the Cobb, it looks as if they were folded already. But many of the cards look as if they have never been folded.

I'm curious to get your take on this.

Thanks,
Scott

I don't know much about T201's but don't miscuts show us that these cards were folded prior to cutting? Maybe Mr. Luckey will post his Mathewson I speak of.
