New To Net54 and T206's

[E93]

Welcome to the forum. This is a great place to learn about the intricacies of the T206 set. Do some searches for past threads, particularly those started by Ted Z.
All the best in your quest,

Welcome ---please take time to hold a newly acquired card in your hand and study it . Research the player and appreciate the age of the card and the role the player had in the game of baseball. I know it is an investment but in a small way it is also a piece of history. Good luck.

That's what got me first interested in the T206 cards and the deadball era in general. I got my first T206 card as a 12 year old when I had a table at a card show (early start). It was a Rube Marquard. Outside of knowing he was a Hall of Famer, I didn't know anything else about him. So I did some research and found The Glory of Thier Times. Since then I have been absolutely fascinated by the deadball era. After reading that book, I was in awe of the fact that I could hold a Marquard card in my hand that was issued when he was in his prime...that perhaps a fan who saw him play had first owned the card. I felt it to be my privilege to be the custodian of that card and have kept it safe ever since while the rest of my collection has come and gone.

Welcome to the board, Tom. If I can ever be of assistance please let me know. As many have said, be patient (as I think you will) and enjoy the journey as much as the goal. best regards

If I had to make one suggestion, it would be to start with a goal that will be more achievable in the short term, and then expand. Many start the monster only to get frustrated and give up. So I recommend starting with a subset goal like a team subset, or an all hall of fame subset, and then once that is achieved you build upon that until you go for the whole enchilada. Good luck and check back with us!
