T205 and T206 Experts Needed
 

Ok, so I'm not a pre-war or tobacco card collector at all. On my Saturday hunt for Mantles, Mays, Jackies, etc, I ran across these two cards and picked them up knowing I won't be out much if there are issues. I'm pretty confident the T205 is real but not sure about the T206. Looks nicer than what I would expect. I can't imagine there is any better place than here to ask for opinions. Thanks in advance!

Congrats- They're both real.

I dont know about the T205, but the T206 Shag looks real (and quite nice at that).

Awesome! While I picked up some other decent deals these were the real sleepers. I'm embarrassed to even say what I paid for them since Beck is worth more than I paid for both of them. I'm a PSA guy but from what I gather it would probably be best to send them to SGC???

Both are for sure real. Shag is worth grading, but imo Beck is not. SGC will do nicely. Or if you want to sell Shag raw shoot me a PM!

The paper loss on the front will get you, unfortunately, regardless of grader. If you are keeping them, I like SGC. If you are selling them, well, then PSA.

Great cards - both authentic and nice!

Shag is definitely real, and a great looking card!

So I send the Shag in with a small regular sub last month and the grades on that sub popped today. I can't complain.

I would be happy. sgc or psa?

Yes, PSA

Well done. Great card. Good color.

Crazy thing it, if you look at photos of Shag, that is really how his head looked.

Barnabas Collins look alike if you ask me. But Shag is always a neat card.
