Do you guys have designs on purchasing all the key cards in these sets, or are you happy with just accumulating cards like the t206s and focusing on the front/back variations?

I chose the T210 set to collect and it has the Joe Jackson and a few other cards I will never be able to afford and for me personally I don't have a problem with that. I just buy what I can and am very happy with that.

T206's are extremely addicting. The color, history and availability make is hard to resist. So many different ways to collect them. They are miniature works of art. And a big plus is they look great in lower condition. In general, T205's don't present quite as well as T206's due to the border chipping. Like others have said, try one one. What's the worst thing that can happen?

I figured I'd add a picture to give you a little nudge.

Dean, good point about their attractiveness in lower condition. That would be important to me as I would probably aim at vgex and lower. In collecting post war, I seldom if ever bought a card with a crease. This would change if I collected T206s. I wouldn't want creasing right across the face/focal point but otherwise a crease or two would be ok. Really other than substantial paper loss or staining, I would be good to go. That Johnson is very, very nice!

I would have to do likewise. Thank you for sharing.

I could not decide between the T206 and T210 so I serve two masters (well actually six but who is counting?)
