T206 focus

[trdcrdkid]

I got my first T206 in 1979 for $1.25 through the mail, and I still have it. My Monster Number is about to hit 200, and the only cards I've ever sold or traded or given away were duplicates. I haven't really had much of a specific focus, other than starting to collect the tougher backs in the mid-90s. My T206 collecting has mostly been opportunistic, just picking up cards that are reasonably nice-looking for the price when I could find them, which is also the way I've approached Old Judges, T205s, T209s, T210s, T212s, and pretty much all of my pre-war cards.

I'm about a month into collecting t206's and have 6.

As you can imagine it's whirlwind trying to get educated on backs, variations, grades.. Etc... I have zero experience with cards since about 1995.

Tons of fun learning about the cards and the players on them....

Wish I knew what I know now, I would have tons of rare backs and HOF'ers and would have bought them for a fraction of the price in 1995.

Looks like t206's certainly are in great shape from an investment stabdpoint as it seems they have climbed steadily in value over the last 30-40'years.... Even low graded commons.

I'm really enjoying myself and this site has basically made it possible.
Thanks!
