I have just started work on the T206 set and have 7 cards so far. I realize its miniscule in comparison to the amount of cards in the total set. I have tried to read what I can thus far on the net as well as the postings here. I realize that it takes time and experience in this area. My questions to the veteran collectors of this set is as follows... I wont a few auctions last night on Ebay and one of the sellers is a local guy to me it turns out with lots of graded 5 and 6 and even some 4's. I have talked with him on the phone and he is willing to work with me some.

1) What tips and or recommendations would you or could you give to someone who is just starting out on the set in regards to building a solid foundation to get started?
2) Should I work on the so called commons first as I can and get the HOF later and or as budget allows? I want to make sure to not get so tunneled visioned that I only concentrate on one area as to pertaining to the set and let stuff slip by that I shouldnt as to particular cards in the set that may be a little harder to get common or otherwise.

Thank you for any school of hard knocks tips you can share that can help me from avoiding from possibly overpaying or otherwise.
