I've been out of the hobby for about 20 years. The last thing that I was working on was a T205 set. I pulled out my cards recently and realized I was 44 cards short of the 208 (210 since I had both Crandall and Dougherty) card set. A friend challenged me to complete the set. I have 60+ cards that are EX or better (most Ex-Mt/NM). The rest are mostly VG/VG-EX with a few worse.

My frustration was being able to find cards in nice condition and then prices skyrocketed and I eventually gave up. I know there are some serious T205 collectors on here, so I'm looking for some advice. I need to decide what condition of cards to go after. What is a good price guide to use? Is SMR accurate or should I sign up for VCP? Where would you recommend looking for cards? Post a want list here? Ebay? Auction Houses? Would I have much luck at the National?
