My T206 side project of Wild Bill Donovan’s throwing image, got a new addition today. My first T213 Coupon arrived today and it is also my first of this image when he’s not a Tiger. Up to 5 versions of this image now. Not sure when I’ll get another one, but I’ve said that many times in recent months

Been a little bit since my last T206 adds. Today brings a Facebook group auction win of 4 low grade cards. The Paddy is a duplicate but the prize of the lot isn’t a T206. It’s an E90-1 Caramel card of Tigers HOF manager Hughie Jennings. Happy to check off a non-T206 prewar HOFer. #cardsky

Big day for the Kaline collection. Wasn’t expecting to land this card yet but it came up for the right price and I had to get it. Just need the 64 Tigers Team card and the 64 AL Batting card to complete the Venezuela Topps Kaline run. #cardsky

11 down, 3 Venny’s to go. Today’s mail brings me two more Al Kaline Venezuela Topps cards, one of which has 3 HOFers. The only Kaline Venny’s left are 3 cards from 1964. 64 Tigers Team card, 64 AL Batting and the toughest and most expensive AL Bombers with that pesky Mantle guy😭 #cardsky

Awesome T206 mailday today. Added 3 more Southern Leaguers to the set build and an Old Mill Brain as well. Then we’ve got a nice Hooker from the South that @lolbrarian.bsky.social asked me to find for him. 😁

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

1960 is one of my most favorite sets and it’s really underrated. The All Star Subset that year is one of the best that they did. The 8 pocket pages are great for a horizontal set. No neck cranking😁

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Does this Hooker look good to you? 😂 sounds hilarious typing it out. A seller in a Facebook group has it for $65 plus shipping. If you’re interested, I’ll grab it and we can work out the details when it gets here.

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

I’ll keep a look out for another. Ironically Hooker is one of the 6 southern leaguers I’ve got and is the only Old Mill Southern Leaguer. This copy is actually pretty fragile, which is the only reason I was able to snag an old mill one not brutally trimmed. 😂

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Today’s T206 mailday brings me HOF’er Eddie Collins. He’s beat up like his non related HOF Collins brethren Jimmy in my set. I’m up to 156 cards out of 520 but Eddie brings me up to 41 Hall of Famers out of 74 obtainable ones, (I’m not counting the two requiring the lottery😂)

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Lou thought these cards were the coolest thing when my buddy and I met him a few years ago at a signing. When my friend explained the card to him, he grabbed it and had the biggest smile on his face, showing it to everyone behind the table. I still need to get Tram to sign my card to complete it.

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

You made me get out my set binder. Lol. Here’s your non-Tiger coaches and managers in 54 Topps.

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Yesterday crossed off a big name T206 for my set build. My newest T206 HOFer is one I didn’t think I’d cross off this year. It’s one that also helps with the Tigers team set. This stunning Red Cobb joins his stellar bat on brethren. Anyone got a Green Cobb or bat off Cobb that’s just his nose up?😂

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

It is a pretty decent core of guys. 😁

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

My Venezuelan Topps Kaline collection has grown in recent weeks. Today’s mailday brings me to 8/14 Venny’s he’s tied to and 3 of the remaining are team cards. So 5 of them won’t be bad $ wise but the 6th is the 64 Bombers and there’s 2 Yankee power guys on it that make it $$$😂 #cardsky

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

I’ve got some low grade double vision after today’s mail arrived. My newest T206 addition is the dark cap variation of HOF’er Christy Mathewson. This one’s awesome as it’s a polar bear back. Those backs are one of my favorites! He pairs nicely with his white cap brethren. #cardSky

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Been a year since I’ve purchased a T206 HOFer for my build, I was overdue😁. Couldn’t pass up a cheap price on a slabbed HOFer. This is card #120 for the set. It will not be my final HOFer of the year. The coming weeks will have a lot of PC additions and a 1936 HOF inductee😏🐻‍❄️

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

I’m a fan of the throwing image of Wild Bill Donovan. So a back run of that card would be fun!

110

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

Not too often is a raw card of a HOF RC an upgrade over a PSA 3 RC, but my pickup at a show today was one of those instances. Some guy scribbled on it though, but it goes along with some of the other Kaline’s I’ve got that were scribbled on as well😁 #cardSky

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Thanksgiving arrived a little late this year. I’ve loved this image since I started building the Tigers T206 team set and decided to do a side project and get other versions of this image. Had to get the Turkeys of Wild Bill and Rube together, along with the other throwing images so far. 😁 #cardsky

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

Had a few envelopes in the mail the last week and a half, and everything’s here now. Another 8 to the T206 set build. And because I’ll buy before checking my list and will also grab cheap deals even if it’s a duplicate, I’m at 119 instead of 120. Mr. Downs is a duplicate 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 #cardsky

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Make sure you get a double helping of Turkeys, thanks to this Turkey.

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

Last week, an unexpected item that’s been on the want list for a while, appeared. This one is hard to find in the type of condition that fits my budget. So happy to add this awesome M116 Sporting Life to the collection of my favorite pre-war oddball Rube Waddell. #cardsky

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

A cool T206 mailday.I’m doing this low grade & wouldn’t normally pick up a single duplicate, especially if it’s rougher(I looked at my list wrong and thought I didn’t have him 😂). But when the card on the right popped up for cheap, I had to grab a new back! #cardsky

030

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

This one for sure. I’ve got others I have no business owning but this is the top one.

120

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

I really need to get the BK set and put the work in to complete that like I’ve done with the 78 Topps group.

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

I like portraits but the sunset images are action shots and those are incredible! So I’ll go action shots.

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

First pic is recent pickups/maildays. Another signed Kaline, a new T206, a Venny Kaline, and a Topps Now Riley Greene from the playoff game I was at on my birthday. Including a copy /10. The rest of the pics are the progress on the Venny and Signed Kaline run. #cardsky

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

I’m not one to collect unopened wax, I don’t have that self control😂. But I do have one piece of unopened stuff and it’s this 87 Topps rack pack. I was a big McGwire fan growing up and for $2 at an antique store a few years ago, this was an easy grab.

Yessir!!! Playoff Javy is in town!

T206 Tigers team set, minus 3/4 Cobb’s. I’m up to 108 cards on my lifelong build of the 520 set. A long way to go there😁

0121

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

Eventually I’ll get Tram to finish the card.

030

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

Hard to pick one. So we’ll go with the Tigers T206 team set, minus 3/4 Cobb’s, the signed RC’s from 78 Topps of the core 4 of the 84 team, and a signed Lauren Taylor Illustrations print of Miguel Cabrera to top things off. And this is me not including my Kaline collection.😂

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

It’s been awhile since I’ve picked up a T206 for the build and I’m really happy with this one. It’s got character like most of the others I’ve got but when a super cheap Southern Leaguer pops up on eBay, you have to hit BIN. Happy to add my second Southern Leaguer to the build. #cardsky

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

This is incredible! These two spots need to be moved on the map. I was about to take a detour after work today 😂 but these need to be on the Grand Rapids MI spot of the map. Still amazing work though!

110

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

Today’s mailday brings me my third Venezuelan Topps Al Kaline card with this 1967 Topps. I didn’t plan on my T206 pickups taking a break but I couldn’t pass up some of these recent giveaways of these rarer cards😂. Happy to pick away at the Venny Kaline run. #cardsky

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

I need to get an updated group shot of my oldest daughter and my Riley Greene collections. I haven’t updated the pic since 2023 but we’ve definitely gotten more cards since😂

120

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

It’s great collecting under appreciated and under valued HOF’ers. Could not pass up this lower grade signed 1957 Topps Al Kaline. Slowly picking away at a signed career run of Mr. Tiger. #cardsky

130

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Going with the page with one of my favorite autograph projects on it. Can’t go wrong with the only multi-player rookie card with two HOFers on it.

020

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

It’s rough and has seen some battles but it thankfully didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Just some cuts and a missing piece😂. Still can’t believe I own a Cobb.

030

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Their grade comments can be spot on a lot of times but other times not. This card was labeled creased and I got it for a steal raw. That’s just a print line across the cheek. No creases at all.🤷🏻‍♂️. I’m not mad at it.😁

110

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Today’s mailday from @prewarcards.bsky.social brings me my first E102 in Wild Bill Donovan. I set a goal of trying to pick up a few pre-war cards this year that weren’t T206. This card was perfect as it’s a Tiger but also uses my favorite T206 image. Happy to have it. #cardSky

031

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

It’s been awhile since I’ve done an updated Kaline PC pic. Recently I’ve added a few autographs and just yesterday, my second Venezuela Topps card arrived in the mail. I’m still chipping away at insert cards, leader cards, etc on my Al Kaline PC. #vintage #cardsky #repdetroit

Trevor @tec87.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

I once helped sell off part of a guys autograph collection and he had one or two of those Kmart Denny’s signed 😂
