I'm still pretty new to the t206 set myself, and have posted a few questions on this board. I have found this site very helpful. It's a great place to start.

Why can't everyone be this excited about OJs? Then again, if there were more collectors the prices would be higher......everyone stay away from OJs they are not worth your time .

I'm working on a T206 Cincinnati team set. I'm more of a type collector so tackling the monster is not very appealing. I do have friends on here that have a love/hate relationship with the set. Have fun and remember to buy what YOU like, it will make the journey that much more rewarding!!

The articles linked to on that page have great information on the relative scarcity of the different backs, but the values for the different back brands given in the table should be taken with a grain of salt. In my experience, the values given there for many of the tougher backs are too low -- prices have really risen fast in recent years.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Overwhelming to say the least. I'll start reading the links as soon as I return from the store with a pack of red bulls.

Joe --

A good place to start is T206resource.com, which has all the information you could want to know about T206, and more. The amount of information there can be overwhelming, especially for a beginner, so it's best to start on the index page there:

http://t206resource.com/History.html

You can start on the "Introduction" page and then keep clicking "Next" to go through the pages.

You'll also want to go to the "Publications" page:

http://t206resource.com/Publications.html

There you can download pdf versions of three booklets that serve as good general introductions to T206: Art Martineau and Doug Allen's (unpublished) "T206: The First Century", Mark Peavey's "The Mysteries of T206", and Scot Reader's "Inside T206". Peavey and Reader are Net54 members, and Doug Allen used to be a member but is in jail now.

The "Articles" page on T206Resource.com has lots of good articles on various aspects of the set. Most of them are for people who already know the basics, but there are some more basic introductions.
