[T206Collector]

If T206 cards don't inspire you, then it is probably best not to concentrate on any particular area of T206 to build on. I really believe that you have to hear it calling you before you should start collecting it in any serious quantities. If there is something inherent in portraits that absolutely captivates your attention, then I would say go for it. Similarly, if you are huge into Russian cigarettes, or something akin, then Tolstoi backs would be a ton of fun. But your potential interest in portraits or Tolstoi backs strike me as very different vantage points for appreciating the set and, combined with your recent sell off of T206 cards, suggests you haven't been hooked quite yet.

Most serious T206 collectors acquire the set because we have to. It gets in your blood and under your skin. Don't force it -- let it come to you!
