T206Collector...I currently have about 140 cards graded (all but 4 by SGC -- the four are beat up in PSA and GAI holders that I got in larger lots at one point and make no sense to cross over), and am in the process of having the whole collection graded, and upgrading as I go along. I guess ideally my collection would average an SGC 50 before I die. I give myself a little leeway on rare variations (I'll likely never upgrade my SGC 10 Demmitt or SGC 20 O'Hara) and southern leaguers (I'd like 40's, but will settle for 30's), but I'd like to keep the HOF'ers at no less than a 50. My favorites are my Mathewsons, Cobbs, Tinkers and Lajoies. I am missing the following 11 cards (8 if you're not expecting me to get the Wagner, Plank or Doyle):
Johnson Throwing
Young (one hand and glove showing)
Cobb Red Background
Keeler (portrait -- had one and sold it)
Baker (had one and sold it)
Elberfeld (Washington portrait)
Plank (never)
Wagner (never never)
Magie (mmm... one day)
Doyle (rare variation)
If you're interested, you can view my progress here. I have a large lot (hopefully over 60, but I have some minimum grade requirements) of cards coming back from SGC in the next two weeks:
