david Posesi can relate to this story, having gotten rid of all my modern cards in favor of t206. i started with a fairly scattered approach of just getting as many cards as i could, not too concerned with specific player, back, etc. after about a year, i noticed prices going up a bit too much for my budget and sold off my collection (about 50 cards at the time) so i could focus on 1952 bowmans, which were more abundant, less expensive, and nice to look at. after a few months, the nagging feeling to get back my beloved t206 cards couldn't be ignored. i'm back into it with such veracity, but i am definitely much more focused than when i started. there are so many ways to approach this set, the artwork is so beautiful, the history, so much to appreciate. even this board and the conversations that happen here. so in answer to your question, the minute i got my first t206 card, which was a bill abstein, i was hooked.
