TylerDavid,
My story is virtually the same as yours. I started putting together the T206's a little over a year ago. As I approached 80 or so cards (nice mix of HOF's, SLers and Commons) I started to learn much more about other issues (through the help of this board, especially the Pickup Threads).
It got to the point were I couldn't justify spending $50.00 on some guy named Bill Bergen, or hundreds of dollars on a SLer, when I could be saving for a E92 Matty.
I am currently down to about 7 T206's. I kept 3 Cobbs, Matty, Johnson Portrait, Lajoie w/ Bat, etc. Now, instead of a bunch of commons and expensive SLers I have the aforementioned E92 Matty, an Orange Border Matty (anxiously awaiting the package from Goodwin) a T200 Cleveland Team card featuring Shoeless Joe, a '33 Goudey Ruth and several others that I find way more enjoyable and interesting.
The monster wanted me to quit...I did...collect what you like.
