Appreciate all of the advice. I know that when the Nap, Griffith and Marquard come back, I'll be hard pressed to sell them so I'm thinking they'll stick around my collection for a while.
Funny thing about those cards.....the Nap and Griffith were part of a T206 collection I purchased around (and I'm guessing) the late 80's early 90's. Back then I was doing local Baseball cards shows, selling a lot of newer stuff but also dabbling in the older cards and this T206 collection crossed my path. I wish I had more details but those records are long gone. There were at least 50 Sweet Caporal's that were all in extremely nice shape. It's one of those finds you don't see often. There were probably 4-5 Nap Lajoie (Throwing) and at least 6 Marquards in there too. If only I had that collection back, but singles were sold here and there over the years and you know back then it was cheap. There were a lot of things from back then I wish I hadn't sold (namely that Babe Ruth signed ball that was authenticated and that 1951 Bowman near set with an EX Mantle.) Oh well, life goes on and you search for them again. Thanks again. And I'll definitely be watching the Uncle Nacki videos again.....just went through videos 1-5 and they were super helpful. Keep 'em coming! -Brian

Brian,
My buddy Justin and I have also done several podcasts on the T206 set. You might enjoy. www.themonsterpodcast.com Jay Last edited by t206kid; 01-14-2020 at 04:02 PM.

As mentioned, Polar Bears are a great subset for numerous reasons. However, I think the best advice so far is to start with hall of famers, because, as mentioned, T206 is a beast, a monster!, and you may be off in a different direction before you know; HOFers are easier to sell or trade if/when you change course(s).
Personally, I have found player back runs to be nice side projects that keep me focused on something. I have completed the Tinker Bat off pose and have all but 3 of the Evers Yellow Sky pose. I am also working on E92+ Wagner batting, Wagner throwing, and Cobb standing back runs. But here is the problem with back runs -- they are terrible investments! You will inevitably overpay for certain tough combos. I have tried to mitigate by collecting HOFers, but unless its Cobb, Young, Matty, Wajo (Plank/Wagner), you likely will lose money on the endeavor. So be it, fund costs money! Good luck and welcome back

I'm searching eBay, going over the B/S/T, checking out what's coming near me for shows (I think the Valley Forge PA show coming up end of February will be the next big one near me) and just having fun learning and searching. I guess if the funds are there and the right card presents itself, I'll go for it.

The good thing about T206s is that there are so many ways to collect it in subsets. They are virtually limitless. Our BST is a good place to pick some up along with all of the other venues.
