I would give the B/S/T a shot first...I would personally be gunning for some of your T205s...good luck!!!

Sounds like making up a T205 set with such a great start my be a great start into this hobby for you. Then you maybe can trade off some of your other cards here (net54) to help build your set.

Another T205 guy is always welcome!

Thanks John - that is what I am leaning towards right now. I bet they would look amazing as a set if displayed right.

Collecting is the best, trust me! I joined this board last June, and have learned so much since then. You will too, and will also meet some great people. I say continue the set!

I think it's really great the way you are becoming interested in the cards the more you interact with them. I think the bug would really take hold if you were to continue to learn about prewar cards. You're lucky to have found the best place to discuss and learn about these things here at Net54.

Spend some time reading the posts. Search for older threads about the sets you have and follow the pick up threads to see more amazing cards. You'll get hooked and find this is a great hobby and this board is an amazing community of the most knowledgable people in it.

I hope you stick around and find it as fun as I do. Welcome to both the hobby and the board.

Best regards.

It sounds like the bug is biting you! Go ahead and collect awhile, while following the discussions on this board. If later on down the road you become bored, then sell them. At least you'll be better educated. It's a heck of a start for a newbie!

Good Luck!

I have pretty much decided to keep the 115 205's, and see what's involved in completing the set moneywise. The friendliness, enthusiasm, advise and passion for the hobby and the sport I found here played a big part in that decision.

Maybe I'll sell those original John Wayne movie posters I collected over the years instead. Got about two dozen of 'em. Never did get around to building that JW memorial saloon...
