"The T206 Collection: The Players & Their Stories neatly recounts the human stories -often triumphant and sometimes tragic - of the ballplayers immortalized in the Tobacco Trust’s famous ‘white border’ set. In so doing, it enriches the experience of the card collector and entertains the sports fan.”
"The
legendary T206 set comes to life in this brilliant book.
The stories of these men, especially those who toiled in
obscurity in the minors are especially compelling and
achieve a measure of immortality in these pages.”
"Baseball
fans will spend hours absorbed in this book,
appreciating the artistry of the cards, as well as
poring over the history of each player. The book is a
grand slam. Long live Dolly Stark, Jack Bastian and all
of the other long forgotten Texas Leaguers you are
bringing back to life.”
“The
legendary T206 set of cards is all yours for the
grazing, studying, in this remarkable book that tells
the stories, sad and soaring, of the players in Tobacco
Trust's 'white border' set.”
