Posted By: <b>joe brennan</b><p> As some of you know I have been looking to start a modest collection of T206's . I have done some research and looked at 100's of auctions, both past and running to get a GOOD idea of prices on PSA 3-4 cards and quality of the card inside the slab. Just from my short experience am I the only 1 that thinks the MR X collection is at least 1 sometimes 2 grades over graded? I just cant pull the trigger on the 4's in this collection. BTW, I did pull the trigger on this card. Any thoughts on the collection and this purchase from a rookie. Thanks for the thoughts. joe<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5204225838&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5204225838&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1</a><br /><br><br>"I had the right to remain silent.

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>You can see plenty of commments regarding his collection on this board.<br /><br />On the other hand, nice Isbell. I always enjoy dealing with t206-holygrailcollector -- both as a buyer and seller, he is first class.

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>the mr x collection is just dumb...if its a celebrity tell us who and if he doesn't want us to know, cut out the "x" thing and just sell the cards without the hype.

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>The card you purchased is nice and I was one of the underbidders.<br /><br />As far as the Mr. X collection it has been hashed over in other threads with the general concensus that the majority of the cards are over graded.<br /><br />I personally could give a rat's arse who Mr. X is and have personally decided not to bid on the auction because of all the nonsense. <br /><br />Lee

Posted By: <b>Robert</b><p>Just my thought but I don't think it is Billy Crystal because he is to big of a fan and I don't think he would assemble a collection of such low grade material, he can afford much better. I think Mr. X has to be a "B" list celebrity. And if he is an "A" list celeb then they where probable embarrased to attach there name to such a mediocre collection.

Posted By: <b>pete</b><p>well, if I ever win that damn lotto...you bet I'd been spending big bucks for the highest graded cards that I'd want in my collection....never mind the 3/4/5/and 6's...I'd go after 7/8/and 9's of the biggest cards....but first I have to play the lotto before I can win the lotto!<br />pete-
