Offered is a near complete T206 Baseball card set, missing only the Top 3 cards of Honus Wagner and Eddie Plank plus the impossible Joe Doyle/N.Y. Nat'. Affectionately known as 'The Monster,' the T206 set contains (74) Hall of Famers, including Ty Cobb (4 cards), Christy Mathewson (3 cards), Walter Johnson (2 cards), Cy Young (3 cards), as well as the team variations Elberfeld - portrait, Wash. and Smith - Chi. & Bos. variations plus the very scarce Ray Demmitt/St. Louis and Bill O'Hara/St. Louis (both with Polar Bear backs) rarities, plus all 48 of the scarce Southern League series cards.
