Default T202s

I've started picking up some Hall of Famers from this set and I am smitten! The prices seem reasonable for a tobacco issue (relative to others) and the selection of top tier HOFs is outstanding. Commons are, well, common prices. I have a couple of questions that perhaps our esteemed board can help me with:

1. Reference material - I repeatedly find the usual two paragraph description of the issue (Standard Catalogue). Is there a work on these addressing conception, issue, relative scarcity? The Net54 thread on the Joe Jackson panel is fascinating.

2. Prices - they have been stagnant, at best, for the past decade. Thoughts?

3. Storage - I have received my purchases is a variety of wrappings (cellophane, cut down sleeves, etc. Anything "standard" out there that folks know of?

4. Do TPGs get them right? In the early 1980s they were very popular; I seem to remember them getting a bad rap for being trimmed.

5. Show me your favorites! I'll post a couple below.

Thanks!
