Tips/ Ideas/ And your thoughts on starting T206

Posted By: Lee Behrens

I do not remeber my first T206 but I had bought 0 of them in the 80's and was out of collecting from 92-00, and then I got the ebay bug. Living in Minnesota I could not be picky about collecting T206s because there wasn't many around. Once I got on ebay I started collecting Cubs and HOFers. I occasionally bought lots and cards that caught my fancy. i found it was a great idea to buy the HOFers early because they just get more and more expensive related to the commons. By going after a certain team it gives you a focus with a reasonable end in sight.
It is not a bad idea to buy a T206 reprint to have one so you know what they look like nad how they feel. There is more than one T206 reprint set some more recognizable then others. If you are in question aboout a card don't bid on it, there will be others up in the future.

Patience is also big. The only times I felt I overpaid for cards are generrally when I get impatient trying to get a card and make sure I win one.

It has been 4 1/2 years on ebay to finish my set minus the BIG 5. I am waiting for my last 2 cards to come in the mail.

Good Luck
