t206 - On the chase

[T206Collector]

The climb up the mountain is an arduous one. There are many aspects of collecting T206 that can get overwhelming -- should I collect the backs? should I collect the factories? what condition am I comfortable with? can I live with not ever owning a Wagner? It can sometimes feel like Sisyphus!

The best advice is almost no advice at all -- just enjoy collecting the set in whichever way it calls to you. Putting aside my signed T206 card pursuit, which is a whole other animal, my current iteration involves just picking up PSA 5/SGC 60 commons at good values. When I get a HOF or a SL, it is almost an unwanted distraction.

Remember, the Monster will watch your collecting with a jealous eye. It will throw many distractions in the way of your pursuit. The Monster wants you to quit. Don't listen to it!

Thanks for the advice. I understand that I will never own a wagner however my dog could dig up one and bring it to me someday. I dont mind the low grades. Its whatever looks good in the longrun. I will check out the material provided.
Thanks!

As a fellow t206 collector I would also suggest the book The t206 collection the players and their stories. By Tom Zappalla and Ellen zappalla. Great book. Everytime I pick up a new card I pick up this book and read the story behind the player.
