I'm now down to needing 50 T206s for a complete set of fronts, after years of off-and-on collecting on a budget. In addition to the top rarities (Wagner, Plank, Doyle, Demmitt, O'Hara, as well as Elberfield Washington), I also lack most of the top-tier HOFers, which are rarely available in my price range, and 9 of the 48 Southern Leaguers. But there are also plenty of commons I still don't have.
Below is the list of everything I need, with SLers and HOFers noted. If anybody has any of these available for a reasonable price, preferably but not necessarily raw, let me know. (I currently have 32 graded T206s out of 500+ total cards.) Eye appeal is big for me, and while I like a good, clean, crease-free card as much as the next guy, I don't mind technical flaws that don't detract much from the eye appeal, such as pinholes or unobtrusive paper loss on the back. That's especially true if it's an otherwise tough/expensive card. I don't have a ton of extra $$$ to spend right now, especially after some big recent purchases, but I thought I would throw this list up there while I'm thinking of it.
My PM box is close to full, so I'd prefer e-mail at
