I need t206 advice and opinions

[StraightRaceCards]

Great question… and good comments by others here.

I will always vote a decent looking HOF’er over a sharp common graded card, but that’s my preference. Both will sell well so I wouldn’t be worried about that either.

I think you know deep down which one you like more.

Which one, will you appreciate and enjoy more, research, show to friends etc? Which one keeps you up at night thinking about their bio and history?

Just a few thoughts… I personally get way more excited thinking about hall of famers.

The Willett all day every day

The “cubs” graffiti on the front of the Brown card makes it a no for me. If it wasn’t for that, I’d go with the HOFer. I’d also feel good about cracking it open at that grade. I’d have to keep the other one in its case, which is not how I keep most of my cards.

Another vote for the Willett, as it looks sweet. All of those creases and the writing on the Brown might as well be three fingers poking me in the eyes.

A hard question to answer.

Over the years I've drifted between wanting nice cards to wanting more cards and back.
I'm also in my occasional "who would pay that much for a common?" phase which comes up right after every major price increase.

Quick answer,
I'd get the Brown because I already have a Willett.

Complicated answer,

Over time, the brown will probably appreciate more. Unless the hobby drifts away from collecting star players and towards better preserved examples no matter who is on them (Don't hold your breath waiting for that....)

But it does come down to which you'd personally enjoy more.

I like my T206 Willett batting cards to be big bordered parallelograms, so I guess I would go with the Brown.
