If you don't have a concise focus it is easy to overextend your collection and your budget leaving you with a stack of cards that are really nice, but honestly do not have any meaning to you. Don't chase something because it is expensive or rare. Chase something because it connects with you. Welcome to the board and good luck. I'd honestly rather have ten more people like you that ask a large amount of simple questions out of curiosity than one more person who gets bent out of shape about someone's dealings, words, or actions. This is a hobby that at its purest form sparks a child like emotion in all of us and I'd prefer curiosity over frustration. PM me and I'll give you my email. Feel free to shoot me any questions you have about the hobby.

And to answer your question: most lower graded t206's are going to have some sort of problems. Creases and wrinkles are chiefly among them. Occasionally you will find lower graded cards with back issues or slight paperless that knock them on the scale but leave them with a very appealing front.
Steven I agree, he seems interested in learning, but this is like my wife telling me to take the garbage out over and over. Or mow the lawn, whatever. Or fingernails on a blackboard, if anyone knows what a blackboard is.
