Al CrisafulliThanks, guys. Don't get me wrong, I love T206 as well - I've been picking them up whenever I find them cheap, since I was a kid. But I realized I'd be kidding myself if I ever thought I'd finish the set.
Then I bought my first T205 at the National, for my HOF set - this Bresnahan. I fell in love with it, and then realized that lower-grade T205s can be gorgeous. The color saturation on the cards hides a lot of wrinkles well, and although border chipping can really wreck the look of a card, I don't mind it if the chipping is slight.
There's a tiny bit of back damage on that card, but nothing dreadful. If you look closely at the front, you can see a lot of wrinkles.
Here's the Bresnahan (which is at SGC now), along with a few more.
