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

Posted By: peter chao

Guys,

I actually did this for my '57 Topps set. You need to look at the set historically instead of financially. By this I mean which cards have gone up in value the most in the past and buy those first.

It's a physics term as well as a financial term. Rate of appreciation.

Since everybody that's in the T206 set is long gone. You have to assume the cards that went up most in the past will continue to be the ones that go up the most in the future.

So logically, if you are serious about completing a set you go after the big ticket items now, because you might not be able to afford them down the road.

That common that is going for a mere $100 bucks you know that's not going up soon. But the Big 4 you have to go after them now if your serious about completing the set.

Peter
