T206 Collectors Survey
Posted By: Dave
I thought it would be interesting to note of the T206 collectors how involved each person is..and for how long you've been involved with T206's? Does it seem like the competition is getting stiffer for cards? |

I completed the set (less what was then the big three, now the big 4, since the Doyle wasn't known) between 1971 (when I bought about 1100 T-205s and T-206s for $20). I'm still a T-206 collector, but I don't fit any of your profiles. |

1,100 for $20?? Was that sort of the going rate for a group of 1100 at that time or was that even a steal? Wow. |

Started in 1989. By 1998, had 165 of the cards, including 15 backs, a Demmitt and O'Hara. But a bad business decision in '98 brought it all to a halt. I've gotten three cards since. At this rate, I will be very, very old before I complete the set. |

Michael, I'm really putting up with all the competition I can right now. If you don't mind keep looking for PSA 10's for a while, maybe another eight or nine years? I just need to get a good running head start here. Ha Ha |

My original purchase of T206s were in the late 1980's. I really didn't collect them in earnest until late 2001. Last year, I was at 501 cards, 23 cards to go. Now, I am at 438. I wish I hadn't sold any of my cards but I had a bit of a focus problem. Now, I have resigned myself to collect both the T205 and the T206 sets. I am 53, so I should be able to do it before I die. So, I guess I am D and F. |

C, but only by accident. I've got about 60 or 70 different T206s, but I'm not actually collecting the set. I just buy them once in a while because I like them so much. |

I started about a year ago, and have 40 of the HOFers. That's about 53% of the HOF subset, and about 8% of the whole set. |

In response to Dave's question above about 1100 for $20--that was very cheap then, too. The owner was a retired farmer outside of Max, North Dakota. (I was interning in Minot the 1971-972 school year--that year was the longest decade of my life). The owner indicated that he had gotten these as a kid in New York city, and that he had kept them, just in the hope of finding someone who could use them. I'll never forget him pouting them out of an old Corn Flakes box onto the oilskin tablecloth in his farmhouse kitchen. He wanted very much to give them to me, and I had to force the $20 on him. A good memory! |

Categories, C and A. Mike, that's quite a deal you got there. With all the publicity the T206s have recieved, I doubt that people will be "giving" away those cards in the future. |

Certainly if you ever feel the need to recreate the memory by all means I'll rent the farmhouse and force the $20 on you as well..ha ha |

Lessee.....Bought my first in about 1982 or 1983, bought a couple more in the early 90's, started Brooklyn's in January '07 and have just decided to go for the whole enchilda, less the big 4. So, I have been collecting T206 for 25 years and have about 11 cards to show for it. I'll be picking the pace up though. |

I have just gotten into the set in the last 2 months or so. I've enjoyed this site soooo much since getting involved. This is my 1st post. I am at just under 6% right now, trying to figure out a budget. Sticking with 2,3,4 and 5's PSA (apologies to those who are raw or SGC collectors) It has really become my passion, and you guys are the ones I can talk to about it. All I have is time and I am looking so forward to the next couple years or so, I can't wait to complete the set (minus the big 4 until after my wedding on June 14th, then I'm going to go wild) Good luck to all and thanks for having me. |

D & D. I've been collecting about 5 years. Bought my first couple at the '01 National. Now have almost 200, all PSA'd. Always fun to get a couple new ones. Good luck y'all. |
