Assembling T206 sets....my advice....what's yours ?

That is exactly right...
I admire and envy Ted's patience, method, and financial capabilities!! And I think much of what he said makes great sense.

BUT, I know myself, and I do not have:
-a huge amount of patience,
-very much money,
-too much experience at spotting fakes,
-very much interest in a large chunk of the T206 set,

So when I combined all those factors together I came up with my strategy:
-Collect by team (Cubs first!)
-SGC50 or below
-One at a time
working so far...I have 10 out of the 36 or so Cubbies...after 5 months

Ted, if I may ask, aside from your long experience in working with the set, what keys do you look for on EBAY to make sure you are not buying a lot that contains fakes? I wouldn't know how to tell from a scan or two alone...

thanks,
