Thanks for the insight, and please keep the comments coming!
I'm sick of being a slave to the PSA set registry, so I've put most of that on hold to dive into this for a while.
I haven't bought any yet, and I've gone back and forth between wanting to buy them graded or raw. The main reason (for me) to buy graded is the obvious. I don't want to buy fakes. All of my graded cards to this point are in PSA holders, but I think if/when I buy a graded T206 it will be in a SGC holder (I like the way they look in them). The main reason to buy raw is because I want to learn about the card through handling the actual card. Get the feel of them, and look at them unobstructed with a loop etc..
I suppose I could buy one or two low dolllar cards that are graded authentic, or 1, and crack them out to get the look/feel of the cards themselves.
The two ways that I've read about spotting fakes are: Names are in brown ink, black ink means it's a fake. Also the first letter of the city must be larger than the rest of the letters in that same word.
Does that sound right, and does anyone else have any other tips about spotting bogus cards?
