I was taught at a very young age to not be afraid of monsters but I don't think my folks ever confronted this one.
Strike 2

I have read that collecting it is a lifelong process that never has an ending. I've also read where the quality of certain cards may have to be sacrificed due to their availability or cost. I have never purchased a card for $1000+ dollars that has a crease! I am overwhelmed with how to collect the set. I hope some members might share their experiences, their strategies and the do's and don'ts of how to collect the set. I have a 1968 set with 65+ graded psa 8 or higher cards of mostly the Hall of Fame players that I thought I might sell/trade in an effort to get off to a good start. I appreciate any guidance? Thanks in advance!

I've never owned a T206 and am similarly awed but intimidated at the thought of starting to collect it. I will not be starting in the immediate future.

However, let me know if you decide to pull the trigger on selling off the '68 set!

Would never do it, would not even come close to finishing in my lifetime !
