Prewar v. Postwar & Big Names...?

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

I also meant to add that this goes back to the old quantity vs. quality debate. Not that cards with low technical grades and high eye appeal aren't quality. I'm referring to the hypothetical "If you had $5000 (or whatever) to spend, would you rather have one card, two cards, five, etc. " You know how it goes. If there's one thing I have learned about my collecting self over the years is that I like to have a taste of a wide variety of cards. For example, my Banks rookie is a 4, Aaron a 3, and Koufax a 3. I personally would rather have it that way than one of these in higher grade. Others may differ, and that is fine. That's what makes the collecting world go around.

I hope to land both a red and green portrait T206 Cobb in the next few months with the proceeds of some sales. I am aiming at a 2 or 2.5 for each most likely. Frankly, I am suspicious of anything that old that looks too good anyway...

Thanks for this thread, John!
