Default Present To Self: A 'T' Card - Suggestions?
Need a T-card in the collection. Love the aesthetics (and enduring popularity/demand, if God-forbid ever need to resell) of the classic images (i.e., Cobb bat off, Matty dark cap, etc.)...

For me, the issue with going after one of these has always been this initial fork in the road:

"Higher-condition + more common back VS. lower-grade + rarer back?"

I'm personally a rarity guy over condition-rarity all the way, but at the same time don't want that principle to lead me astray in this specific case.

So where do fellow collectors stand on that fundamental trade-off, and in the 5-7.5k-ish range, what would be your pick of a T-card?

My last T card pick up....pretty much sums it up. Mid grade, nice aesthetics, blue chip card as far as value goes....and filled my T3 hole.

Anatomically which hole is closest to the T3 hole? Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Leon that is definitely a classic blue chip!

Are there any of the T206-size specimens you would put in that card's league? I just get a bit spun around on that whole rare back vs better condition choice, which is what makes the T3 an appealing, straightforward choice.

Pretty funny about the T3 hole!

I am in complete agreement with Pete - I'll take rarity over non-rarity-with-nice-condition every day! If I were in your shoes, this nice-looking-for-the-grade T214 Jennings (different pose than Leon's Jennings) that has been an eBay BIN for quite some time (so perhaps the seller would be open to a reasonable offer) would appeal to me: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221332161038...84.m1438.l2649

I think a very clean T206, T213 or T215 HOF with a top 15 listed back is always a smart choice.

There will be a few very nice mid grade T206 HOF with Cycle 460 backs in the next Goodwin auction. I'm not the consigner.
