From another Dave, congrats on your T206 start. I was really lucky, one of those stories you wouldn't believe on ebay. My Mother-in-Law handed me a notebook from my late Father-in-Law. It containted about 500 T206, 50 T205, and 30 t210 cards. Of the T206, about 100 were duplicates. I've never sold any of those.
The idea was that I would figure out how to sell these and split the proceeds with my Brother-in-Law. I looked at them for about an hour and decided I couldn't sell them, but should instead complete the set.
I did that over the next 2 years, mostly on ebay. I am now only missing 6, the big 4 plus the 2 St Louis rarities. I know that I've bought a few that wouldn't stand grading due to trimming, but that's OK for now.
I've been just watching for the past year or so, and lurking on this site.
I just want to say what a thrill it is to add to this collection, one card at a time. I'm sure a larger add would be a bigger thrill, but I never did that.
Best of luck,
Dave
