Roy Oswalt

The 2002 Topps T206 Roy Oswalt #252 represents a key release from Topps' celebrated T206 revival series. Named after the legendary 1909 T206 set that defined early baseball card collecting, the 2002 iteration brought that vintage aesthetic and design philosophy to contemporary players. Roy Oswalt, the Astros' ace during this era, was a natural fit for inclusion in a set honoring baseball's collecting heritage. Card #252 places Oswalt among the set's extensive roster of players, making it a valuable addition for collectors pursuing complete T206 runs or focusing on Houston Astros team sets. The T206 brand carries historical weight in the hobby—collectors often seek these cards to bridge the gap between vintage appreciation and modern-era player collecting. Whether building a comprehensive Oswalt portfolio, completing a 2002 Topps set, or curating Astros memorabilia, this card serves as a recognized touchstone from a pivotal moment in both the pitcher's career and the T206 legacy.
