I just purchased my first T206 which is a Bill Burns Piedmont 350 off eBay. I figured a good first step would be to gather some of the players associated with the Black Sox scandal. I expect that to be a gateway into more collecting projects within the set. Just saying that I want to complete the set seems a bit too overwhelming (on many fronts).
My Question: Where do you guys find is the best place to focus your buying efforts? Are you fairly evenly spread between eBay and local shows or is there a known best place for trusted cards and prices?
Thanks for everything!

I have had some good transactions with forum members using the B/S/T as well as local shows and eBay. I would check what the cards are selling for on eBay or VCP to determine whether you are buying for the right price.
I just started buying T206 in December and have about 40+ so far. The HOF'rs will be more expensive than the common players. Also depending on the which card back (Piedmont, Sovereign, Polar Bear, etc) will determine price as well. There are a lot of variables to deal with when determining price/value of the T206 cards. I am still learning...
Best of luck to you.
