New Guy from NC
Hey, guys just wanted to post up and say hi. Just found this site last night and added it to my other T206 type websites on my laptop. Even though i'm 44 i spend my child hood collecting comics and as a adult still collect and have setup at shows up and down the coast for years. But i have always like cards my whole life so at my late age i decide to dive into learning more about the T206 card set and start buying.. Right now it still is overwhelming with all the backs, and all the ways people tend to collect (like subsets,team sets, backs, hof, poses, ).. i just dont know where to start and i'll be the first to say i need HELP. i havnt been to shows in years for cards and really were told by my fellow comic dealers horror storys about the hobby dieing off a few years ago, but i dont care if so or not.
hoping to get to know people,< looking for Ted from the old site<< hes seems a wealth of info. with comics there is a price guide, and i'm finding prices with t206 stuff all over the place. 2 questions i hope everyone will give there options of<<<< do most or should i buy non graded or graded ? i plan to buy g-vg range for myself. is there a ballpark the commoms are priced at just so i can keep in mind for reference when buying?? any 101 school help or gameplan type help would be most helpful. thx and email me if you want GUY

You can find really nice looking commons from good to very good condition easily from $20 -$30. Sometimes even $15. Commons are pretty affordable.
Welcome aboard by the way!

It's all good. My collection is all over the place. The majority of my cards are graded, but I've bought most of my cards raw and submitted them. about 20 percent of my collection is raw. I'm almost at 100 t206s
 . For the rare backs, I usually stick with lower grades because I can afford them. Commons on the other hand are good because you can get a nice looking PSA 5/SGC60 for about $90-$110, depending on the player, eye appeal, and how sharp the corners are of course.

welcome to the board and good luck with your collecting goals!
Some basic stuff: 1. collect what you like, with emphasis on the YOU. 2. once you start off, don't be afraid or hesitant to change directions if that's where it takes you. You might start off liking a subset, but then that morphs into a new subset. Just have fun with it! 3. If you're going the graded route, two sites that can help with pricing are: http://www.vintagecardprices.com/ http://www.cardtarget.com/
