On an aside, I began collecting doublefolders after winning an auction with two lots, both SGC, one with 50's, the other 80's. The prices on the higher end cards were more than reasonable compared to T206, and the size of the set makes it attractive to collecting and upgrading. The market can be thinner, and you will not see cards available like the Monster, but that means your opportunity, to my way of looking at things, is actually greater. Look at the number of Mecca sets on the registries in comparison to other prewar sets. It is also much, much easier to upgrade a 50 card set in comparison to a 524 card set. (unh, I think I said that already). And yeah, I appreciate stats on cards. Nothing like .385 batting averages to show why certain players are revered 112 years later.

Happy collecting!!
