Lee BehrensI certainly can't top that story about my T206s, I think that is the find we all hope to have.
I would have to agree with let me set happen. When I got on ebay 3 1/2 yrs ago I had 80 T206s other than trading a Ernie Banks rookie for about 30 nice ones including HOFer I have no idea how I got them except for my Lajoie,paid $40 for inthe 80's, now in a SGC 50 holder. I began buying T206s on ebay when I saw the scans. I originally went for all the Cubs cards and slowly staarted buying HOFers, saved alot of money starting withthe HOFers early. As I started buying I got intrigued with the different backs, I know have all the up to UZIT. I currently need 62 cards, not counting the biggies, and only need Cobb (green) and Johnson port. of the obtainable HOfers.
My biggest suggestion is to buy the cards you feel will fit well into your set and slowly but surly you will get closer and closer to finishing the set. There seems to be so many ways you can collect the set, find one you are happy with and let it fly. I have found the whole process fun and hope to complete the set up the Elberfeld ,Washington within a year. The rest will only come if by chance. I am not too worried about getting them because they are out of my budget at this time.
Happy collecting
Lee
