Most T206 "Buy It Nows" are over priced. Many times because of the fees on ebay and paypal. Use best offer if that option exists or even better, purchase cards here on Net54. You should be able to purchase nice clean ungraded commons in the $20-$25 range and some low end graded cards for $30-$35. The key to building a successful set is to make only smart purchases. Never over pay on a card. There are plenty of cards to choose from when you don't mind common backs like Piedmont and Sweet Caporal. Building the set is not a sprint but a marathon. You are definitely in the right place for anything T206. There are plenty of T206 collectors, sellers, and experts here. I recommend staying away from building a trimmed set. Even though you don't plan on selling any time soon, It's just better to have a low grade set over an altered set. I recommend low grade cards that are not trimmed, have no writing, have no paper loss, and are fairly centered. Good luck with the journey. You could use this post to show off your new additions to the set as you get them.
