First, grab a Honus Wagner card before the price gets out of reach...then...
But seriously, my approach has been to try to get PSA-5s or better and use SMR as a basic price level...most of the time, I've been able to get them under that, but I'm willing to pay reasonable premiums on cards I really want. In that way, I fall prey to the emotion of buying certain cards just because I want them...which is a risky way to proceed. I don't expect to ever complete, even the set minus the big three, for obvious financial constraints but also because I've decided not to go after variations on same poses, like the Cobb and Chance portraits. Nor will I go after cards just because of their backs- I won't concede condition just to get a rare back.

Sean.....
EXACTLY! All these monsters need a few big cards or variations or scrap to differentiate them from the rest!
 Those are the cards that are really "chased" put a broadleaf 460 in there, go for the magie.....get a cool ass scrap that is unique and no one else can own....  you will find yourself addicted all over again! pure fact- T206 hold there value

Hey Johnny,
You are surely one of the most enthusiastic collectors of T206! Now, if someone could assemble an entire set of all players with oddballs, scraps, rarer backs, miscuts and top it off with a Wagner...now you are talking! That would certainly separate the ordinary assemblage of t206 cards from the rest! I'd love to see that...are you almost done  ?Raymond...funny post !LOL Luke...I still haven't dug out the e95's, but I will!

Thanks a lot for all of your outstanding replies. I read them carefully and will take them to heart. Ive been thinking about it for awhile and think knocking the HOFers out first and focusing on graded cards 3/4/5 with eye appeal will be my way to go.
Thanks again and Happy New Year!
