I grabbed a few T206's on ebay today, and I noticed one of them was labeled "The Lionel Carter Collection." I didn't win the card; somebody beat my bid. There's one other Carter T206 on ebay at the moment, an SGC50 for Jim Scott. Actually, it's a really nice looking card. If it had an unusual back, I'd grab it. But I digress...

I found an article online about this Lionel Carter, and it indicated that he sold off a large and notable collection through Mastro in 2007. He even had a Plank, possibly the single most beat-up looking baseball card I've ever seen officially graded (not that I wouldn't be happy to have it).

At any rate, to my point: Does anybody know if these "Carter Collection" T206's are particularly coveted? Or have any info or personal knowledge of this gentleman? Sounds like an interesting character.

That IS a great article. I particularly love the 2008 pic of him in full calvary uniform. And those binders with the T205's and T206's in them...holy crap. It's like the Mecca of baseball card collecting. bow
