Another is a T206 Clark Griffith Portrait that I think might even grade higher than the Lajoie. And the last one is a T207 Brown Background Marquard that might be a PSA 1-2 grade. I'm thinking of selling them (depending on the grade) to kick start the Polar Bear set. However, those would be cards that are so nice I might kick myself down the line if I sold them. Thoughts on that?


I would appreciate the input from the group. Thx again for the great info on this forum.

I agree with Jay, and suggest certainly keep the Nap. I would also strongly consider keeping all three. I'm not up to date on the Marquard value, but the proceeds probably wouldn't bring you more than 2 or 3 PB's in return.

As far as the Lajoie and Griffith, ...... you don't know it yet, but your t206 path will be probably be a winding one, and there is a strong chance you'll be glad you didn't sell those two when the Monster forces you to stray from PB's onto another subset ( or take the plunge and go for 500+). Plus it will always be cool to point at a nice Lajoie and say "that was my first" (assuming he was your first - or close enough)

I started and stopped a couple of times and experimented with multiple subsets before taking the plunge to go for it!

oh and I agree with Michael, go for HOFers first.....
