I am starting to collect T202's in SGC holders...I really like the cards...I have been researching the cards and prices and kindly ask for any advice or anything special I should know about collecting these cards that isn't readily apparent...love this board and always appreciate everyone's input! Thanks.

No special advice except that there are a lot of nice looking lower grade cards available. Best of luck.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.

If you pick up Issue #7 of Old Cardboard Magazine, you'll find plenty to get you started. Good luck with all the Cobb cards in holders!

Take Care, Geno

Mike, Feel free to contact me with questions.

One thing you will find with the set is the prices are all over the place because not all commons are common and the people that buy them tend to now the tougher ones and you will eventually figure out which one you need to pay a preium for.

The one nice thing about his set is most of the HOFers tend to be cheaper in this set than any other.

Thanks for the info and responses guys...I was wondering about the prices I have already noticed for "commons" varying greatly, now I know why...can't wait to get started on this...

one last question...are there reprints of this set out there that I should look out for? and, is trimming as prevalent with these cards as I have found at times with the T206's?

Again, I really appreciate everyone's help and advice...

Cards graded Vg-Ex are a real bargain IMO.....great looking cards for reasonable prices.

I know Upper Deck made some reprints a few years back but you can easily identify them by the hologram UD logo on the back. I'm not sure if there were any more "less obvious" reprints made. Good luck on the set, though... I like T202s myself but I've got too many other sets going on right now. Maybe later on down the road...
