Hey Josh, I've been collecting T206 for 14 years, and I still get jealous at times.

Well I guess on the plus note I'm only 28 so I have a whole lifetime to collect t206. I think eventually I'll do t202 but know nothing about it, and t205. I've re-watched Ken Burns video documentary way too many time so I'm trapped in the deadball era.

I usually try to scan and upload every card I buy and save them on this site. That way I have them backed up or they can be accessed wherever I am. I separate them in different albums PSA or SGC are the only cards I buy.

Is it wrong that I have Engle next to Snodgrass ??? Merkle is right next to Engle someday when I get an evers and the other Merkle they'll be paired right next to each other as well.

I also intend on making my own website and asking for donations whenever it is that I finally am satisfied with my t206 checklist. Net54 members will get it for free NO MATTER WHAT! It's just the rest of the inter-webs who can donate to get a copy.

Probably my main and most discouraging goal is to get a Cobb and then to get all 3 others.

I'm addicted to T206 scrap

I also took my collection for granted until I came here and saw some struggling to accomplish what I had accomplished. It is easy to see the glass as half empty.

Josh, many of us have lotsa low grade cards in our collections. All that really matters is that YOUR cards make YOU happy!

Val that Johnson looks awesome !!! Sometimes overly worn cards look way better than just regular worn cards.

We should really have a "collecting on a budget" thread for under $100 pick-ups. I also collect on a budget and what I don't have in value, I try to make up for it in weird

Awesome collection and display! I see you mentioned T202. Based on your interest in the dead ball era and Ken Burns' documentary series (I've easily watched it 10-15 times through since it came out), I think you'll get hooked once you start T202. I know I did... great combination of portraits, player combos, written info on each card, with many having great, if not iconic photos. I'd know that Cobb Steals Third pic from watching "Baseball", so was so happy when I finally got the Cobb/Jennings T202. Anyway, just keep enjoying it however you go about it.

You're doing great. The nice thing about this hobby is that it can be very flexible. I collect on a budget too so I have to prioritize too. That used to bum me out but now I find it a challenge to seek out the cards in budget. One way I stay on budget is collect a player who interests me and whose cards can serve as a type collection. I do that with Lefty O'Doul. He's in most every set of the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Josh,
Your display is unbelievable. Wow! What a great collection. I started up on the Red Sox and White Sox team sets a little over five years ago. Down to just the Gandil for the White Sox and Speaker, Spencer and Kleinow for the Red Sox. I'm just grabbing cheap and beat up when I can get them, with some cards missing a few pieces. Along the way, I would pick up a few lots to acquire a Sox player. Well, those lots have turned into a little bit of a bundle. It has been a blast. This is a beautiful set and so much fun to collect and read about. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks dude! I'm only 3 cards away from finishing off the White Sox. They'll be my only completed team. And not really close with any others lol. Just need Isbell, Fiene (fielding), and Tannehill (L. Tannehill) !!!

Kleinow will be tough. Though I blew it big time recently one of his went for only $36. Arrrggghhhh lol.
