Who's got the best raw t206 set

[Scott L.]

Those are just sick. Wonkaticket's raw T206's are ridiculous as well. Not sure if he has a "complete" set though. He's shown them here I believe. They will also make your jaw drop.

Most impressive, Doug! How long did it take you to put those beauties together? They sure look sharp next to each other in plastic pages. Thanks for sharing!

Best,

Andy

There are a good number of sets out there that if they were graded today would range between 4 to 7 and have a good number of tough backs in them because they were put together with no attention paid to backs, just needed to be clean and crease free.

Very nice Doug!We'll never know who has the best graded raw T206 set. I know mine is (-Big 4) excellent throughout with no creases but I am sure there are several exmt or even nrmt sets out there.

Doug, nice set. As for a raw T206 set, I was meeting with a lawyer in NYC last year and saw some baseball card memorabilia around his office and inquired if he was a collector. He then pulled out a complete raw T206 set (minus just the Wagner). It was in near mint condition. I thought the cards would easily grade 7s. I asked him why he didn't grade them and he said he simply had no interest. Later on he sent me a scan of his green Cobb which he had gotten graded -- it came back a 7.

I was wondering the same thing about the Doyle.

It was unreal. The guy was in an average law firm, making average money but was a huge card collector in the 70s. He bought the entire set NM for like 30K or something like that. Oh and he had a complete NM 33 Goudey set as well in his office. I was dizzy when I left.

Not raw, but in 2004 Brian Seigel had a T206 set where all the cards were graded either PSA 8 or 9, including the trimmed Wagner. But obviously he sold it

Really very nice set! I have 518 of them but you have mine beat to shit, with only a couple of exceptions. PS I too avoid off center and any back damage. Mine too are beautifully raw! dave. How many do you have and what biggies are you missing?

Beautiful collection

Better than mine. I am missing 88 cards and I have worked on it for 7 years. Mine is also mixed with graded cards. I like my prewar to show some age

Thanks for the compliments guys. I started in january of 08, so almost 4 years now. I have 500 cards so I'm missing just 21. 4 southerns, a couple minors and some low end HOFers. My O'Hara looks ok but does have a pinhole if anyone can upgrade me. Demmitt is vg'ex and so is elberfeld wash. Having a hard time with the Dahlen, Brooklyn.
