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.

frankbmd 03-13-2012 07:36 PM

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.

I'd go for 1/3 of a wagner card. I would prefer the bottom 1/3

Don't you mean 1/30000??

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! :D

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.

I'd try to finish off a master set for the T206 Cubs...

Other, I would try to find a cheap Magie Error.

I thought about that too, just not sure if I could find one for that price?

If you voted "Other" or are voting other please post what you would get. Thanks..:)

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

I must say I'm a little surprised on how many people have pick Demmitt and O'hara!

T2069bk 03-16-2012 03:33 PM

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
