My Quest To Conquer The Monster

[T206Collector]

Very nice! Remember the Monster wants you to quit -- don't listen to it!

You've really done very well with the eye appeal as well, technical grade notwithstanding.

Keep us posted!

Thanks guys. I went into this knowing it will be a LONG TERM project. I am sure the Monster will really be biting my butt when Mr. Cobb, Mr. Young, Mr. Matty and other HOF's hit my list.....LOL.

I am trying to stay in the the 3-4 range with really nice eye appeal. It takes alot of patience which I am starting to attain as I get older.

You are blazing! Great Ed Summers, my firstT206 and I am at 340+ cards. I have been at it for 9 years. Keep it up!

It took me less than 2 years to get to 518, but I wouldn't recommend going that fast. I wish I had taken my time, collect a certain grade range, etc. It's a lot of fun and you learn a lot. Good job so far!

3 days at the Natty and only picked up two T206's for my set. There were a good selection to pick from just didn't seem to be able to come to agreement on price.

The first card I picked up was Mr. Mullen with bat. Was able to get for a good price.




And my first HOF'r......Mr. Matty. I got this from Ted Zanidakis. It was a real pleasure talking with Ted......very knowledgeable and spent time to talk with me. There is a small pencil mark on the back that dropped the grade but I am OK with that. I love the way the front presents and am stoked to have my first HOF'r.

Oh, so you're the guy who bought the Mullin!

Just joking

I looked at that card on Thursday during my first lap around the floor. It is a nice looking card, but I was holding out for one with a Polar Bear back. Not finding one, I went back yesterday to find an empty spot in the dealer's showcase.

You're right, the dealer had it priced to sell.

Congrats on the pick-ups and your first HOFer! Nice cards!
