Good stuff! Through trial & error, and a great talk with Scot Reader on here and email, I learned ALOT. He definitely was the right person to talk to directly. For me, I have always loved portraits. So, rare backs or Piedmont 150 is the route, ALWAYS. I stay away from SC or Piedmont outside of the 150’s. Just bought a Ty Cobb Old Mill, and seems there is no interest in buyers so I am hanging on to that for a year. Lesson learned missing out on a flawless Cy Young portrait graded A. So, just snagged a Walter Johnson portrait, graded A that looks absolutely flawless and is a Piedmont 150.
It all really depends, but I have learned to not just buy to buy, but buy to build upon. It took me two years to figure this out. There are some great guys on the message boards, and boy do they know a lot!!!!! Always listen, understand, observe, and don’t be afraid to spend a little on the nice sought after ones.
