first off; WELCOME.

now; not that I'd ever intentionally point anyone away from collecting the monster; but let me attempt to point you away from collecting the monster (for now).

Being new to vintage can be really exciting; and you see so much about t206 you naturally desire to be where the "action" is. However; that set is truly a behemoth, ultra convoluted, complicated, and ceaselessly annoying (sometimes in a great way, but also in the less fun way).

I think a lot of new vintage collectors dive headlong into the monster, really excited about it, and then get really overwhelmed very quickly, and eventually lose interest.

There are a ton of really amazing and more attainable vintage sets out there. I'd gently recommend biting off something a little easier to chew for your first vintage meal. and really get used to the era, before taking on something that can quite literally be a lifetime endeavor to never finish
