Since how many time did you work on t206

[RGold]

I collected about 400 in the 1970's. They were mostly ex condition, and of course raw. I don't recall them smelling that great, and feeling them didn't do that much for me. Maybe I wasn't doing it right.

I sold them in the late 1980's and remember selling my real nice green Cobb to some sucker for $300. I am curious now if I had any rare backs.

I started collecting SGC 84/86 one year ago, adding on average about two or three a month. At this rate, I will finish the set when I am 85. Assuming an SGC 84 Wagner shows up.

Sold all of them for E121 cards several years ago. Set has absolutely no interest for me.

I'm on my second time.. My first go was in 2001 I only bought PSA 5 or better (other than O'hara PSA 3) and ended up at about 50 cards, sold them all in 2004/2005 and almost doubled my money...

Started my second go in Aug. 2011 and now have 31

Bought my first t206 Downey Fielding probably in the late 80's early 90's just so I would have an old card. Didn't catch the fever.... must not have been many available in my area ?

Fast forward to my next t206 : Matty Black Cap October 2009.

Summer of '09 I hadn't bought a card or thought much about them in over 10 years, got the urge to buy a couple of packs at Target, Picked upper deck Goudey and Topps Allen and Ginter, started looking around the internet, found this site, read "The Celebrant", started looking at Matty cards.....


Right now I'm at 518/520 and can't see myself going past 520. I plan to slowly upgrade my set from "poor/fair/good" to "good" with a nice variety of less common backs.

Started 1978? Maybe 77. Never really made an effort to concentrate on it.
Up to about 174, all but two brands, and all but 6 backs. (And no real surprises which ones I'm missing.)

Kinda wished I'd worked more at it early on. Vg or better were everywhere, commons 1.50, HOF usually $10 with cobb being a bit more. And the backs usually didn't matter at all unless it was Drum Or Uzit. The tough cards were maybe a couple hundred? I couldn't afford them back then either, so I didn't really keep track. Wagner $10K if you could find one.

I had kept a lot of 60"s cards from my childhood. Mostly H.O.F (Mantle,Mays,
Aaron etc.)and continued collecting vintage over the years. I was always interested in Pre-War but never collected them. I went to a local card show around 2 years ago and purchased my first T206.
From that time I got the bug and sold or traded most of my vintage. I started building a PSA 4 Southern League set and have 45/48. Then started with H.O.F and tough cards Dahlen Brooklyn,Lundgren Chi etc all PSA graded.. I now have 183 cards all PSA Graded. I really enjoy collecting this set. I wish I had started years ago collecting Rare backs when they were afforable and could have sold them now to put my kids through college
