COMPLETE! My T206 Boston Nat'l Team Set - krykslr - 02-07-2013
I've been working on a T206 Boston Nat'l team set for quite some time, and this week the final card came in to complete the set. Here's the cards, 14 in total:

I'm not familiar with T206's. I not trying to start anything, I'm truly asking b/c I don't know. I noticed that the first 2 had different backs then the rest. And on the others, there were different numbers (150 vs 350). How does that all shack out?
But I do know that the year of these cards is 1909-11. So to get these cards must have really been difficult (both financially & time consuming). So job well done!!

You are quite right that the backs vary. The T206 White Border set have an entire series of backs, featuring ads for different tobacco products issues by the American Tobacco company. Piedmont and Sweet Caporal are the most common, but others like Cycle, American Beauty, Hindu, Old Mill, Polar Bear, etc. also exist.
I honestly don't know the difference between the 150, 350, and 460 series, so perhaps someone else could explain that.
As far as financially, it wasn't a bad set to build, as there are no HOFers in the set (though Dahlen lacked 2 votes this year)....each card was around the $20-30 range, except for Dahlen that was $56. Just keep away from those blaster boxes and you've got the budget. Time-wise, it took prob a year and a half on a college budget. The Dahlen was hardest to find, but the others weren't too bad at all. Herzog was also a little tougher, as he switched teams and is seen with 2 different uniforms, and I needed the Boston one.
