T206 Obsession

[NorthBorder]

Seven month since I picked up my first card...wife has still not picked up on the missing funds. I only show her good deals.I guess about 4-8 cards a month. I collect cards but this is different, special. These aren't cards, their art, their history. The pictures are beautiful and the stories is what really grabbed me. My spending comes in waves like everyone else but I am not after the number I am after the best quality for what I can afford and what I'm interest in. My goal is to not spend more than my mortgage a month and get ready for a long ride so I don't finish fast with a poor quality sub set. Also really liking this site because no one I know collects t206. Your stories and others let me know I'm not losing my shit.

Took me about three years once I got started, but I was benefited by a couple of things...I had about 150 when I decided to give it a shot, mostly due to a buy I made in the 80s of 100 for $100. I was mostly looking for low grade...I continue to upgrade, and I parted with a card I really didn't want to trade to get about 50 I needed in one shot without a cash outlay. I'm at 520 now....will probably eventually make a play to get to 522.

I bought my first T206 at the end of November 2013 and now I am at 38, all of which are HOF's. I decided to tackle the HOFs first then assess where to go from there. I plan on putting them all in a binder when I am done but for now they are in cardsaver II's or graded. I have a budget set for each card and have yet to come close to going over.
