I see it as a set that is affordable and mostly attainable. Therefore it is unlikely the prices will ever drop. IMO to be able to get a 1909 card for under $50 is a deal. |

Most of my HOF's are 2's and 3's. What about the future value of these? Don't take it wrong, I collect the cards because I really like them. I just don't want a good chunk of money to go down the shoot! |

This "being patient and shopping around" thing which everyone touts so highly seems a lot like when I look for cards relentlessly, always hoping that the price will be more favorable, but the few times that it is does not outweigh the enormity of times that it ain't - and the value of all the time and effort in a futile pursuit of something which mainly doesn't exist. |

Thanks for all the quick replies. Anyone elses opionions would be appreciated. Gil, I get the feeling that as I wait for a deal, the market may rise. Waiting is also a good idea because one neve knows what will come up! I deal in mostly low to mid grade T206 hall of famers (Graded 1-5), so it can get into three and four figures. |

The basic rule of thumb should be that buy what you can afford. Most people might disagree with me here but buying these cards as investments may not pan out because nobody really knows where the market's going to go. If you buy because you like it and it's part of your disposable income that you have allotted to the hobby then you really can't get hurt. Buying cards as part of a personal savings plan stinks because at some point in time you'll have to sell the cards for income. I don't know about most people but I like to hold on to what I have. I'm not going to win any prize for having the greatest collection of cards but at least I'll have something to make me smile in my declining health and old age (if I ever get that far). |

I don't know, Lee. I view t-206 much like Topps in the aspect that if you want to purchase a player, most have examples available at all times, and sometimes you can also select the grade which you prefer. As I mentioned, I have no experience in these types of markets. However, for cards which come up less frequently, passing on a few has sometimes resulted in a market increase wiping out any potential advantage which shopping could have created. |

It would be hard to get rid of some cards I own, but most I could sell, no problem. I don't have to worry about the declining years yet I hope.....Anyway, when I sell cards, it is just to buy more/other cards. I have put some investment money in T206's, but I have not broke the bank. Cards are a gamble, but I feel that T206's are a safer gamble than most other sets. |

I agree regarding the blue chip nature of t-206. But I do not put any investment money into this hobby. |

Thanks for the insight Gilbert, I know where you are coming from in you card buying strategy. Most buys I contemplate making combines your strategy of looking at future rises in price with how much I want the card! |

I look at it as any investment is a gamble, why not have a gamble you enjoy! |

And all the more fun when you find a card that you wanted for a very nice price. I recently picked up an Evers Cubs (blue BG) for well under what I'd seen them selling for otherwise. Like I said, there are so many T206s that I still believe you can shop. |
