Newbie Questions

Wow, Thanks Patrick! I was looking around and couldn't get a fix on the run. They looked later than the T206. I'm going to need to print out your answer. That's too much for me to learn at this late hour! Thanks again!

when buying t206 as a beginner i would buy a magnifying glass if you are buying raw t206 or any pre war cards unless they are graded by sgc, psa or bcg. The reason i'm saying this is there can be some really good fakes out there and there will people always trying screw you so buy from reputable dealers or know what to look for. T206 and most other pre war cards not all are lithographs and when you look at them under magnification they will look like random colored dots and if you have any newer cards look at those and look at a real t206 and you will see what i'm saying.

that is a great site.. Props to the member who runs it. I am new to the t206 game and i learned alot from there. Was very interesting reading the background of some of the player, and the story behind the cards

And a small black light can be invaluable.

From the picture they look good.

If you've never had one, T206s are sharp cards. Worth picking one up. There's a reason they're so popular with collectors.

Well, they were decent. One that looked trimmed, one with paper loss on the back ( the lone Caporal) and the other 4 solid 1.5- 2 . However, the reserve was $50 each!
Thanks everyone for your guidance. I have owned T206 in the past, but only to flip during my dealer days. Never saw the attraction back then.
