Welcome Mark.
When it comes to collecting t206's in low grade why not just collect them raw? You said about PSA not being as good at grading 206's as SGC but in the 20-40 range it doesn't really matter. The problems come in the higher grades where it can be a pile of money involved in one grade difference.
Why not put them in an album of tobacco pages or tobacco sized top loaders? If you ever get to 520 cards all graded by SGC those cards might weigh 40lbs and take up a lot of room.(Does anyone know how much 520 SGC holders weigh? 40lbs is just a guess)
Anyhow, you'll have fun.

Good advice, Doug.

A complete SGC set would weigh 79.1375 pounds.

Doug,

Thanks for the advice. I have actually thought about that as well. Another thing I was considering was doing the HOF's graded and the commons raw. Where is the best place to get the tobacco card pages and/or top loaders?

A complete set in toploaders can easily fit in two photo boxes.

Nice work Frank. 79 Lbs!! That's crazy!! My album weighs about 10 lbs.
I'd have to say the best place for top loaders or 15 card Pro pages is Ebay.

520 x 2.4 oz. = 78 pounds

If t206s are works of art, which they are, than Freaks are Picasso's.
