Building a complete T206 set, even in minimal grade, is the dream of every vintage collector. For those who decide to take on this daunting task from scratch, the 520-card collection is certainly intimidating and represents a lifetime achievement. If you've always wanted to go for it but don't want to start from the beginning, this expansive collection of 402 different T206 cards gets you more than 75% of the way there in one shot. Every card is graded, mostly by SGC but with some PSA grades as well, the majority of the collection is in the 2 to 5 range, representing a lower-grade collection for virtually any other set, but for the T206 white border series, it's really mid-grade considering how few have survived in a grade of PSA/SGC 5 or higher. Three of the four Ty Cobb cards are present (Red Portrait [Polar Bear back] PSA 2.5, Bat on Shoulder PSA 2.5, and Bat off Shoulder PSA AUTHENTIC) with the following included; SGC 6 (4 cards). SGC 5.5 (10 cards). SGC 5 (38 cards) with Chase (Throwing Dark Cap). SGC 4.5 (16 cards). SGC 4 (96 cards) with Bender (Pitching, trees), Brown (Washinton Sovereign back), Chase (throwing, white cap), Crawford (throwing), Gandil, Griffith (batting), Jenning (one hand), Lajoie (with bat), McGraw (portrait, no cap), and McGraw (glove at hip). SGC 3.5 (35 cards) with Beckley, Bresnahan (with bat, Polar Bear back), Chance (batting), Crawford (with bat), Griffith (portrait), and Lajoie (throwing). SGC 3 (181 cards) with Bender (pitching, no trees), Bresnahan (portrait), M. Brown (Chicago), M. Brown (portrait), Chance (portrait, red), Chance (portrait, yellow), Chase (portrait, blue), Chase (holding trophy), Cicotte, Clarke, Clarke (holding bat), Collins, Duffy, Evers (portrait), Evers (Chicago), Evers (Cubs), Flick, Huggins (portrait), Huggins (hand at mouth), Jennings (portrait), Jennings (both hands), Joss (portrait), Joss (pitching), Keeler (portrait), Keeler (with bat), Kelley, Marquard (portrait), Marquard (hands at thighs), Marquard (follow through), McGinnity, McGraw (portrait w/cap), McGraw (finger in air), Tinker (portrait), Tinker (bat on shoulder), Tinker (bat off shoulder), and Tinker (hands on knees). SGC 2.5 (4 cards) with M. Brown (Cubs), Chesbro, W. Johnson (hands at chest), and Mathewson (portrait). SGC 2 (1 card) Mathewson (white cap).
