robert aJustin,
Here's my advice:
There are more T206s out there than any other vintage issue. Don't hurry because they'll always be another of the same card you're looking for unless it's a rare front/back combination.
I collected the hofers first, but it was when they were much cheaper for the cobbs and mattys, etc.
Larger groups of commons can still be found in lots. Go for those if you can.
I made the mistake of waiting to get cards like elberfield wa and dahlen, and smith which are way overrated.
There's PLENTY of these so-called "rare" variations out there. Rare is a relative term when it comes to T206. If there's two or three on ebay each week, I wouldn't consider them rare. Be patient.
Best of luck!
Robert
