T206CollectorLooking for some advice...
My goal is to put together the T206 set minus the big 4 with an average SGC grade of 40 or higher. I've gotten there with about 300 cards graded by SGC. I've got 200 raw cards that complete the set, but few if any of them would grade an SGC 40. Indeed, more would be ungradeable than would grade an SGC 40.
Something happened on the way to upgrading my collection -- I decided to start saving money to buy a house. So, the question I now face is, where do I come up with sufficient funds to accomplish this feat.
One thought I had was to actually sell the 200 raw cards individually on ebay and then use those funds to begin to fill in the SGC 40 gap. Of course, I would fall short of my goal, but I might come up with 50 to 75 of them, leaving 125-150 to slowly buy back down the road when I acquire the funds.
Or is it just plain stupid to break up the set in this fashion?
Thoughts?
