Matt, I'm doing a low-mid grade T205 set in SGC slabs, and let me offer a dissenting opinion.

First, I think T205s are absolutely gorgeous cards. Many people think they're unattractive in low grade, but I think if you can get them where the picture is not damaged heavily, they're amazing-looking. In my opinion, putting them in a slab gives them a level of protection that can't be rivalled by other storage methods, and for 100-year-old cards, I want them as well-protected as possible. You can get most of them graded for $8 each with SGC.

Second, I think T205s look absolutely stunning in SGC holders. The black insert seems to really bring out the color in the cards. The uniformity of having many cards all in the holders really appeals to me, from a display/storage perspective.

Just my two cents.
