I agree!!! I had a stack of right around 100 T206's that I sold a few months ago in smaller lots, and I loved going though them more than anything.
They were also on the challenged side of the curve, so it didn't bother me if a little piece of border fell off from time to time.
I remember when I was 12 or so, my dad took to see the collection of a guy that he worked with. He had a room stuffed with 50's sets and thousands and thousands of cards just laying around. No binders, no boxes, nothing. The sets went on skinny shelves with bookends holding them together, or just stacks on the hardwood floors. That room smelled great!
I was a little sad that he would not sell or trade a single card, but as I have gotten older, I understand how it works now.
Thanks,
Bob
