"Sarno-Schuster T206 Collection"...this morning i just took down clark griffith port PSA 9 (1/1) & jim pastorius PSA 8 for a huge trade in the works...the set is hovering around # 48 now, but i have a ton of 7's & 8's that still have to be added...will probably jump into the 30's...but, i am less concerned about rankings, and more interested in putting together a high quality collection. take a look at my set, maybe we can work something out for your 9's (i have several high grade SLers and many other things you might be interested in)...

when i started collecting T206 15 years ago, i strictly focused on tougher cards, i have since traded or sold all of my lower grade cards...HOFers are always around, some of them just get tougher to find in high grade (Bender, Beckley, etc)...SLers are all tougher than commons, i don't know that there are many that jump out as super tough, however, but check the PSA pop report (as a guide), and see how many of each card have been graded, you'll quickly see that there are 100's of each HOFer graded, whereas most SLers are in the 60's-80's...here is what i found to be tougher commons:
burch, batting
reulbach, glove
powers
lindaman
donlin, hands on knees
smith, chi & boston
kleinow, boston
dahlen, brooklyn
lundgren, chi
g. brown, chi
g. brown, wash
doc adkins
most of the above cards, were only printed in the first series, thus the scarcity...
