That's exactly what I did. One of the benefits of collecting "T" cards is they don't seem to lose their value too much (compared to some post-war cards). So you can usually resell at your cost ... and sometimes a little above. I think I bought the T205 Matty with mostly $ I made off selling a bunch of T205 commons. Anyway ... I love the T205 set. One of the first sets with bio's on the back ... I think. Maybe I'll win MLB's Beat The Streak one day and that will allow me to go for the complete T205 and T206 sets :-)

[QUOTE=Big Six;1634486]So I've got a few sets going at the same time - Diamond Stars, 51' Bowman, 54' Topps and 56' Topps - but going to focus my efforts on T205 for the time being...so far, here's my progress to date:



- 41/215
- 7 HofF (Brown, Jennings, Marquard, Mathewson, Speaker, Wallace w/ Cap & Wheat)

- all PSA 3 or SGC 40 except Chase - Both Ears (PSA 4) & Wheat (SGC 50)


Totally Awesome !
Great Thread

A very slight centering upgrade. And the one I have is already nice. :eek:

How is everyone doing lately with their T205 set?

Here is a recent upgrade from eBay:

I also re-scanned my set over the weekend which can be viewed <a href="https://imageevent.com/babybingbaseball/asoriano/1911t205" >here.

Those cards look so good raw in pages like that.

It is a sickness I have I swear. I just bought a Grant, Wilhelm suffe ed, and Graham Black Signature Cubs var.

I have no clue why I bought them. I thought I was cured when I sold them all!!!!:eek::eek:

I think we can all agree you are sick :). A few more I overpaid for ....

Another....and they don't seem to be getting cheaper as I go either. I may need to downgrade when this is over :(...

Your eye-appeal heavy "3's" were cool enough, why drive yourself crazy with 6's?

If I can downgrade to a 3 that is close to any of my higher grade cards I will. But I am looking for the best looking cards that aren't NRMT or better.... My fave grade is a 2......because a nice stain on back will make almost any high grade and better looking card a 2'ish. I look at the card first and then the grade, which seems the opposite of the registry marketers scheme. :)
