Are You A T206 Collector?

[MacDice]

I picked up around 100 low grade cards a couple of years ago when I was really motivate but since my interest level has decreased substantially. Part of me wants to dump them and go after something different (1933 Goudey) but I just can't pull the trigger.

Never has been a main focus, but over the years if you collect all 20th century Pre-WW2 like I do, the things just kind of end up sticking to the collection as if they were statically charged.

I can't imagine why any collector would not have a few, or at least an example in their little cardboard piles...they are about as recognizable and historically relevant an issue we have to collect.

When I first got into prewar (nearly 10 years ago), I had great ambitions of chasing the monster. I was building a Giants subset while mixing in as many backs as I could. I only made it about 10% into the set when I realized just how many other issues were out there that clearly needed to be collected

In the years since, my collection has evolved regularly. I'll likely never return to trying to complete the monster, mostly because of the big 4, but there will likely always be a 'T206 component' to whatever I'm collecting.

Regards,

Richard.

part of the reason they do not appeal to me is because they are so recognizable, owning a couple at this point would look out of place in my collection.

Yes, but they're not mine.

Maybe you guys should have one around just so that in the future you don't, horror of horrors, purchase one by mistake. Just kidding...I do see your points though.

Needless to say, I voted yes.

My T206 story(s) to follow.

I had a lot of the same for probably two decades...then BANG! it hit me and I have been hooked ever since. They aren't eating anything and are certainly holding their value...I would recommend hanging on to them. You can sell them anytime, but you can only sell them once.
