Default If you had.....

around 2k to spend on T206(s) what card(s) would you go for? Keep in mind I'm trying to get HOFs and some of the harder cards in SGC 60s or better, but will go for lower grades on say Demmitt and O'hara.

Default I'll take them all

I voted for all, because my set lacks 20 cards including 2 Cobbs, 1 Young, 2 Mattys, 1 Johnson, Demmitt and O'Hara (SL)

My address will be provided upon request.

A back or two (e.g., BL350, AB460, etc.) that I don't already have in my type-card collection.

Default T206's

I'm only about 24% complete for the set, so at this point I'd pick "other" because I would rather grab a chunk of the set...but a nice looking Cobb or Johnson would look great in my collection!

I picked Cobb since i already have a Matty card and to me, Cobb was the best player prior to Ruth.

You could pick up a nice PSA 5 Cy Young portrait with money to spare for a few psa 5 commons.

Given the choices I think I'd spend the 2k on the Johnson portrait. Looking at the cards listed i am not entirely certain I could get a Cobb in SGC 60 but might be able to get the Johnson Portrait in SGC70 for that much or possibly 1/2 grade higher (outside shot of that being realistic). Seems like cards have been escalating in price lately especially on ebay. I could probably get a Matty for same price as the Johnson but prefer the Johnson over the Matty. As for the Young would prefer the Young with glove over the Young portrait but still prefer a high quality Johnson over both. As for the Demitt/O'hara 2 k would net me too low a grade.

Johnson (port) would probably be my first chose next to Cobb. I could maybe add a few $$$ for a Cobb if a nice one came up. I agree on the Demmitt and O'hara being a pretty low grade for 2k

I picked Demmitt/O'Hara because I think the other choices are easier to obtain.

Good luck hunting.....

Sincerely, Clayton

Default I'd probably go the Display route and

Choose one of:
Tinker Evers and Chance
Mordecai Brown and Johnny Kling (Great Battery)
Johnson and Street (Another Famous Battery)
Matty and Meyers(or myers) (Battery again)
Chance Clarke McGraw & Merkle - need I say more
McGraw Kelley Keeler Jennings - tribute to the Original Orioles

Then frame them with a photo
