Thank you both for the responses.
Mike,
When I decided to delve into T cards I went where (I assume) most go; 205 and 206. Currently I am focusing on HOF'ers. In doing this it has helped me tremendously (in terms of familiarizing myself with T cards as a whole) due to the smaller numbers as compared to the vast amount of subjects, variations, etc. in each set. In doing a little reading I discovered the 207's. This was great for a few reasons; they are beautiful, it gave me parallel options for a few of the players, and it also added a few fresh faces to my list. In all honesty, I think I could see myself actually trying to complete the set someday.
Regarding the pricing, do you think the HOF players are more in line with Standard Catalog pricing than the commons? I would guess they may be due to demand and less activity (less room for variance)? I will have to look into VCP as that seem to be the barometer for quite a few on the board. For example (if you don't mind sharing and have VCP access), I was looking at a Bresnahan on Ebay. Standard Catalog lists it at $600 in EX and $350 in VG. Is that way off base from what VCP shows?
As for condition, I am staying within reason (3-5 graded). Really my only rule steadfast rule has been no creases. So far I have been able to achieve this in 50/4 and even 40/3 (although much tougher to find). I have not purchased a raw T card yet, mainly due to not being well educated enough to weed out the bad guys.
Thanks again for your advice!
