Great counsel - thanks so much.
Jantz,
I appreciate the feedback and I think I'll push him toward decent presentable cards with clean fronts. If the backs are marked or stained, that is a place where he can compromise to save some money. When he had this idea yesterday to head down the pre-war path, he had visions of graded cobbs dancing in his head. He then did a price check and had a quick reality check. So, he is wanting to build a presentable collection at a reasonable 15 year old budget. Where ever he can, I will push him toward higher graded examples
Conor,
I love the T3's at your store. I was like a moth to a flame every time I saw one at the NSCC this past weekend. When i get my last 4 post war sets completed I am going to get some of those for my collection! As far as the name, I won an arm wrestling contest with my wife (it was close) but we have his middle name after her dad who had just passed.
