Hi Todd and Welcome!

Barry A.'s advice is solid and take it to heart. Another saying we live by is "buy the card, not the holder." Once you get the swing of how this site works post your cards of concern and in no time you'll have several expert opinions.

I'd advise you to download Scot Reader's "Inside T206" to turbo boost your t206 IQ. Also the latest issue of the Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards can be a tremendous resource to the vintage collector.

Along the way read "The Monster", Lew Lipset's "Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards," and visit the T206 Museum online. As a sidebar to the history of the players themselves I recommend Ken Burn's Baseball documentary--especially the early years. WARNING--watching it results in the immediate expansion of your want list!
