Thanks guys I know it's tough to pick so much to choose from.

I really enjoy player back runs or team runs. Most teams have at least one hall of famer to keep things interesting.

I'm thinking southern leaguers may be an option but also looking at the different backs. Man this is tougher than I thought

collect the "rarities" if you can swing 'em......differentiates them from "common" T206.... both in value, and collectabilty, investment, ect...

tough backs/ freaks/ variations/ short printed commons( piedy 350 of Ewing, lindaman, ect)..2 different name top to bottom..weird miscuts...try to find "great" buys....short population cards.....tuf front/back commons like the old mill standard baseball players( check out T206resource a lot of common "backs" player combos are not even confirmed!)

fun to find an old mill common player that is not even confirmed yet

or try to collect blue chips= hofers/s.lers/ ect...

you have a blast! try combing ebay to find a "hidden gem"

email me if you have questions....if I don't know, i'll find out for ya

you could pick a color of background...I always thought the red and green background cards were especially striking (either of those choices will lead you to a Cobb on the want list). Teams are good if you have an allegiance or players connected with your home state, which adds a research component to the mix. Personally, I might choose players where the background show a part of the stadium, which I think is especially interesting to give it a real sense of the period.

Thanks mrvster I like getting some opinions I mean I just really like to be involved with the 206 following. Something to get me more involved in the community

[mrvster]

the best is finding a "gem" hidden on ebay (missing ink/rare back not listed , ect)

especially for like $20.00


I'm here for you brah

Hey Jesse...a lot of different ways to collect this set, just like many have already mentioned. If you are not wanting to collect the whole set, Southern Leaguers are a good option. I would suggest collect "Good to VG" conditioned cards as they will not break the bank...especially on HOFers and SLer's. Just look for good eye appeal in that grade range. Different backs are great, but the prices are stupid ridiculous on most of the tougher ones...not worth it IMO.

I would suggest to pick up a few random cards, different backs and such and see what makes you happy. Sometimes you won't know until you actually have them in-hand! Good luck either way,

Mike
