peter chaoTrade all your shiny new stuff for the monster. You may think this method doesn't get you far, however, you may be pleasantly surprised. Here's how it works, nobody is going to trade you T206's directly for your shiny new stuff. People are simply not that foolish.
Here's what you do, you trade your new stuff for 1989 Upper Deck, '88 Score, and '87 Topps. Then you trade '89 Upper Deck, '88 Score, and '87 Topps for '71 Topps, '73 Topps, and '75 Topps. Are you starting to get the picture now? You just keep on trading newer stuff for older stuff until you get to the T206.
Along the way you keep some key sets. For instance it makes no sense to trade 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jacks for T206s. Never trade key sets for other key sets. When you get hold of a key set you hang on to it. It makes sense to trade '71 Topps, '73 Topps, and '75 Topps for '67 Topps.
