Martin Neal I prefer to purchase ungraded cards. The only time I will buy a graded card is if it is going into my t205 set. I can't recall ever buying a graded t206 although I am sure I have bought one or two. I have probably purchased close to 2000 of them in the last 4 years. I have only purchased one t206 that might have been an fake (it was a very good one if it was) and one group of 50 t206s that were trimmed. Both times the sellers were gracious enough to take them back.
I do send my decent t206s to Psa to be graded because there is always a possibility that those will be sold at some point. It is like pulling teeth to let them go, but sometimes those sales fund other interests.
