Getting that feeling...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I think I would most likely start targeting HOFers to accumulate a few and just see how it goes. I never really considered T206 up to now. I just assumed they were out of reach. However, with the exception of the Big Four, they look doable in lower grade (but presentable with good eye appeal). A couple of posts ago I talked about creases, stains, centering, and paper loss. I left out the obvious must have with T206s: color. Thanks, Adam for reminding me. The popping colors really have major visual appeal.

Yeah no problem. I personally like the "action" photos better than the portrait cards for the different colors. However some portraits are very nice too and I think a lot of collectors prefer the portraits. I look at a Johnny Evers with bat card or Ty Cobb bat off card compared to their portrait cards and the appeal just isn't there for me with the portraits. The bright colors just always drew me in.

My first T206, acquired nearly 20 years ago. Still love it. Don't worry about completion, just enjoy the chase. And don't look back... The Monster may be gaining on you!

Johnny, you forgot to mention they are each a precious snowflake. Johnny is like my T206 best friend, and I have never met him in person. He is great, as are so many others on this board for T206 advice (referencing you, Dr. Frank).

Ok, you T206 collectors, let me ask you this: do you feel compelled for all of your T206s to reside in a PSA/SGC slab at the time of purchase? Like post war card collectors, I have seen some of you all post pics of your T206 purchases with some slabbed, some not. Much like dealing with the big post war star cards, I would assume the big stars would be slabbed due to concerns over trimming, doctoring, etc. What about the commons? I mean, if you collected 150s how would you handle that? Slabbed or not?
