Finishing the month off with a roughy toughy, which will fit fine in my set. Thanks to Chris at Buckler Cards.

with every new T205 I pick up, the more I fall in love with this set. It amazes me that this set seems to get so much less attention than T206s. While I understand the absence of action shots is a strike against it, everything else about it is amazing. The portraits are incredible, the facsimile autographs on the NL player cards, the full write-ups, the gold borders...these are like T206s on crack AND steroids!!! Anyway, back to enjoying the humble start of my T205 collection...

Beautiful card. Yep, lack of action shots and much smaller set. T206 and T205 - my 2 favorite pre-war sets (and I'm talking about the war to end all wars).
