T202's are the best! I hope you have fun with them Boyntoncollector. I really think they're the whole package. Great period photos (many action shots), great players, 2 HOF combos (even 3 with Tinker Evers Chance), and great back write ups.

As you look at them more and more, you'll see many lower grade examples that look EXMT with nice white borders and sharp corners. Whether they're downgraded due to small creases, or litte patches of paper loss, there seem to be an abnormally high % of low grade gems. 3-5 is a nice range to go after, and prices remain pretty modest accross the board.. but there are some great 2's (even 1's) out there if you're willing to consider. Regardless, enjoy the hunt!

Here are some of my lower grade examples. Only the Cobb (sits in a 2 holder) has what I'd consider a noticeable crease, but the others are all pretty sharp.

nice cards. yeah i really like the eye appeal

as far as HOFs...to me HOFs not a big deal when they are involved in 50% or more of the set..its like an all star set for its day so to me they are more the same versus a 700 card set with 20 HOFs..
