Graded or Ungraded......which way do you collect T206 cards ? It would be interesting to see the kind of response we get here. And,what the ratio of Graded to Ungraded is.

As many of you know, I am no big fan of Graded cards. Currently, my T206 collection consists of 2600+ cards. Last time I counted them, only 59 of these cards are Graded.

Here is a sampling from my T206 sets (and sub-sets) of the significant Graded cards in my collection

Stay tuned for my Ungraded T206 pictures......


OK, so much for my stuff.....Show-n Tell us of your stuff; and, whether you prefer Graded or Ungraded T206's.

Thanks,

I don't have a preference of how they are graded when I'm purchasing. Because nearly all of my cards don't have any common Piedmont's or Sweet Caporals, I purchase raw or graded as long as it's a good price and you can't be picky on who grades them or if they are raw. I've never had any cards graded and I've never cracked any cards out of their holders. I'm not sure what my current numbers are but here's some numbers and a picture from a couple years ago.

758 PSA
320 SGC
23 BVG
457 UNGRADED

Hi Ted. I now own your old Greminger, and very excited too!!

I own only graded. As we know, neither PSA nor SGC gets it right all the time; indeed, it seems as if both may at times knowingly get it wrong. Still, in a world where the vast majority of my acquisitions are online, I like the "comfort" of the slab.

Here are some pics

Ron and Ryan

Thanks for starting off this informal survey, and displaying your cards.....great stuff.

Ryan, your BL 460 Elberfeld reminded me that I need to display the scan of my Elberfeld DRUM. The scan of its DRUM back is prior to me getting this card graded.
I no longer own this T206, as I traded it for a BROAD LEAF 460 Murphy.

Perhaps, some more guys on this forum will participate in this "survey" by showing and telling us of their stuff, whether it be Graded or Ungraded.

Thanks guys,

My stuff is about 85% raw and 15% graded. Good stuff graded, and the rest of the set is raw.

My set is 99% raw.

Only 5 cards are graded, all purchased in the last 10 years.

Rare backs that are not part of my set are all graded.

Ted- I remember our trade (Drum for BL). Where’d we meet up?

I wonder if a day will come when a thread like this about vintage cards will be whisked away to a sub-forum about vintage cards, safely away from the main page, like the boxing forum.

My main focus is t213 and I'd say half are raw. I've been at it a long time.

For T206 I'd say about 25% raw. Here's a raw Keeler port. Obviously, in "collector grade".

so far....
 

My only 2 T206s so far and no idea if I continue or not. But I like big borders, nice centering and lower grades. Not necessarily in that order. :cool:
So far they are graded but that could change. And I might have too many projects I am doing at once, too.

Hi Mike

I took the train from South Jersey to Newark. We made the trade at a nice restaurant next to Penn Station.

Do you still have this gem ?
