T-206 HOFer's/Prewar Advice

[Leon]

As a fairly focused type card collector of baseball cards from 1900-1949 I think what you are doing is going to be fun. I had the same question when I started; should I try for higher grade cards or more cards? I chose more cards. One thing you might consider, and what I primarily do, is get cards that have really nice eye appeal and are not technically high grade. That way you get the best of both worlds....and your budget can go further. A card with a blank back and paper loss on it (who really cares) might grade a 1-2 but have a 5-6 front. Those are great cards for me to own. Also, and very importantly, there are a ton of collectors that collect just exactly what I described, so guess what? When you go to sell them there will be a lot of demand. At the end of the day, as almost everyone and myself say, collect what makes you happy. If I can ever help please let me know. Also, my type card collection can be seen at
