I dabbled a wee bit in 205's and 210's, and even 203's, but finally
got captured by the 206's completely about 3 years ago.
I have around 200,all slabbed/graded by SGC,GAI,PSA,and am patiently
spending my money on mainly G to EX so I can still buy books:)
I have around 30 HOF's with a variety of grades---Dancing Jennings EX; Wheat VG;
Bresnahan batting VG; W. Johnson pitching G-VG; Huggins portrait
G-VG; all the way down to Cobb red portrait Fair.
Although i slab them all, I must say that i buy based on feeling
and aesthetics,e.g. my Matty white cap is the most beautiful of all
of my cards even though it only received a 2 because of some back
damage (the front is NM period!)
It's taking me a bit longer to get the backs i'm after, but once again, I'm being patient. I do have quite a few tolstoi's,a few
EPDG's and Beauty's,loads of the common ones---but no Uzit,Drum,
Broadleaf. . .

I'm one of those fellas who sits with cards on the weekends and
relishes their existence like treasures, as i look at each one again
and again, until the honeydo list comes.
God, I love baseball. Vintage,that is.

Thanks for asking.

all the best
