Thanks David for the interesting snapshot. You've motivated me to do the same. Although I don't have the a Lennox, Broadleaf or Carolina Brights backs yet, I will pass on my findings to you for comparison. Leave it to us T206 enthusiast to always come up with different to sort our little pieces of art.

Nice info Dave! I wish some other people would post their results as well. I would post mine, but my collection is so heavily focused on the 150-350 series that the results wouldn't be very useful.

Tony, that's awesome. You've obviously focused almost exclusively on non-Piedmont/SC cards, and I'm drooling with envy at what you've got. My approach to collecting the Monster has been a little different. I've been working on the set of different fronts (currently up to 353!), while trying to pick up tougher backs when I see them at a reasonable price, all with an eye for bargains, because my budget is limited. All but nine of the T206s in my tally above are raw, and there are only a few (no more than half a dozen, if that) for which I paid more than $100 (and only one for which I paid more than $200). I have a strong preference for good eye appeal, so I have a lot of cards with inconspicuous creases or other minor flaws that would knock down their technical grade, but which look very nice at first glance (and usually at second glance). Kind of a middle ground between those who collect beater sets and those who collect only mid-to-high grade cards, though I do have quite a few that would probably grade a 5 or better if I ever got them graded.
