Ray BI am also a T-206 collector. Really just a modest beginnings as PSA Registered "Dings, Divots, Creases & Stains". As you might imagine this is a PSA 1,2,3,4 set.
I am really focusing on eye appeal with this set; trying to get nice examples in lower grades with reasonable centering, color and clarity. Sometimes you catch a gem for cheap if your willing to overlook certain flaws. I've got a dynamite PSA 1 Evers that presents like a PSA 5 except it has paper loss on the back.
Seems corner rounding, light creases and border dings give these cards character. Seems as if that is the way they were meant to display. The high grade examples look "too good", almost unreal.
Good thing for me of limited funds.
Well anyway, I'm about 5% in or 25+ cards and hope to assemble a nice variety of backs too.
I've thought about these cards and this set for years and years and finally this year could not resist. I am afraid I am hooked. Just picked up a nice PSA 3 Clarke with bat HOF'er this past week.
I will say that buying these already authenticated allows me some piece of mind.
