Most of the collectors on Net54 do not collect T206s based on average PSA grades. Frankly, to suggest that you collect T206s based on an average PSA grade will only bring you criticism on here. The prior posters on this thread were just anticipating a lot of critical comments coming your way.

Maybe I asked the question wrong or maybe I am naive. Lol. Most collectors I would assume like to collect their cards in a specific grade like a 3, 4 or 5. I am a new T206 collector and I am not really sure what is wrong with that?

Many folks despise what the TPA's have done to the Hobby. The advent of the 'Set Registry' being right near the top of the list.

It's a fair question but will elicit some emotions from the 'buy the card, not the holder' crowd. For me, I tend to focus on acquiring cards in a similar range that you do (4-5), but prefer SGC. I don't collect T206s but you'll find board members collecting this set in everything from T206 beaters to high end (not to mention the freaks!). Cheers.

Seems like most people on here collect "graded" cards. Thanks for the answer. Hope you don't get any slack for it. Haha . Kidding people.

Laughing out loud.

The unfortunate thing is that there is another crowd, besides that one.

If pas gave negative grades, my collection would probably fall into that category.

Having said that, I don't really bother with grading. Not that I have anything against it, but when creased, tears, trimming, holes, writing and stains are pretty much pre-requisites for cards to enter your collection, you find that technical grades are the furthest thing from your mind. Hell, in my case, it doesn't even have to be a complete card, and often that's even preferred. For financial reasons, of course.
