T206Collector...having sold over 500 of my 521 set over the past 12 months. I kept the Mathewsons and a couple of Cobbs and then a few of the toughies that I knew would be really hard to replace. The nice thing about the HOFers is that they are really easy to replace -- you can always find them. But try finding a Magee portrait in SGC 60. Or a "Slow" Joe Doyle in SGC 40. Really tough cards to find. So I held on to them, too. I also held onto my Hans Lobert, since he's pretty tough to find too. And my Detroit Germany Schaefer, SGC 50 -- another toughie.
Of course, it is always a safe bet to hold onto the Southern Leaguers. There is good value there and they are pretty scarce, all things considered. In the end, sell the easy to find commons and Hall of Famers first. And then hold on to a few favorites....
Good luck!
