T206 Rookie Question

[Leon]

As NJ said, most of use buy everywhere we can that is legitimate. (had to preface that)

Our BST is great (you can save fees), ebay is great, the auction houses are great. It's a good time to be in the hobby in my humble opinion. The selection on the internet is mind boggling compared to what it must have been like in the 1980s and earlier, pre-internet. Personally I got back into it around 1996 so have been on the net pretty much the whole time. Good luck in the hunt (which is a lot or most of the fun to many, including me)

Thanks for the help guys... I need to begin watching the B/S/T page.

Ebay has the best selection, but mostly overpriced. The best bargains, and my favorite place to buy T206's, is our BST board right here. Good luck!

Focusing buying efforts? What's that?

Cards are where you find them, like any other collectible. I've bought cards at coin shows, stamp shows... I've also bought both at card shows. And picked up sports collectibles at shows like a small restaurant china show.

But yes, card shows, the BST here, and ebay are the easiest, unless you've got a really good local card shop.

Ha... I understand what you mean. I guess being newer to the set and early on the learning curve, I'm a bit nervous of getting taken advantage of in regards to price or authenticity (if I was looking at raw cards).

I'm loving the learning curve... but it is steep.
