Exploring the origins of the hobby's most popular pre-war card set
Left-click on card images below, to see the original image that the lithograph was created from (some are close, but not perfect matches).  The goal is to slowly replace 'image only' pages with individual pages for each player, each page containing as much information available about the particular card and its origins, and maintained by a hobby volunteer.

This website is named in tribute to Bill Heitman's ground-breaking book 'T206 The Monster'
Thanks, Bill, for all you've done for the hobby, and for taking the time and effort to write 'T206 The Monster', which was a great resource to me personally, as I learned the nuances of this card set, and I'm sure most other members of the hobby can say the same.
