I've been in buy mode most of this summer-so I figured it's overdue for me to join this forum. I've learned a lot in the past 3 months about the T206 set. My first purchases were four T206 cards in 2003-2004.
I bought a raw M. Brown Chicago Shirt in low grade, sight unseen and without seeing the back. Eventually, I sent it in for grading and was rewarded with a PSA 1. To my surprise I recently learned that the Sovereign green apple back is scarce with Brown and I am in the black, even after fees.
I figured this card would be a good one to share here. Apparently one sold this summer at acution (NM I think) but I couldn't find many images online of the exact combo.
My interest rekindled in recent years as my investment portfolio grew. I had thought of possibly buying a high grade Chance yellow portrait, but never did pull the trigger on the few 7s I saw. Instead, I'm focusing on collecting the 1908 Cubs in midgrade-no creases allowed. I also am not viewing it as a true risk/return investmentMoreover, I view my current mode as a temporary caretaker of the cards to see the through the mid 21st-century as best I can. The cards I own turned 100 not to long ago-my goal is to make sure they see 200 with no degredation.
