My main focus is the T206 set. Trying to do it all in PSA slabs (1, 2, 3s and a few 4s), but I have 30 cards raw that will get graded one day.

In keeping with the T206 theme, I like to collect the modern Topps 206 Mini Cards as well. I will post some pictures soon. Also eTopps 206 and the Historic Autograph T206s slabbed cards.

I also like chasing the Top 250 Sports Cards (as per the PSA registry list).

Every now and then, a 2013 Upper Deck Kansas Jayhawks Autograph card pops up that I don't have (I'm at 48 of 62).

Finally, I collect Stadium Give Away (SGA) Kansas City Royals Bobbleheads (40 of 69). I'm curious what will happen to the bobbles that were planned to be given away at stadiums this year if the season never happens?

I have some Royals cards for sure...a little new for this forum sorry.

Here's a page from my T(opps)206 collection. I have the complete Piedmont and now working on the shorter printed backs (Old Mill, Polar Bear, Cycle #'d/99)

It may be modern, but it still stokes my fascination with T206.

And this is my most expensive T206 so far. Looking at the current prices, even at this grade, I feel like I stole this one a few years ago.

My first packs were (unfortunately) 1987 Topps. The wrappers were green, gum sucked and every pack had a Dale Sveum, Dave Righetti or Pete Rose manager card. Fortunately my local Waldenbooks had a sealed baseball card starter kit book with some T206 reprints. I never saw a Cobb for sale until I started one ebay in 2002. Couldn't afford it but started buying cards again in the past decade. There's plenty of information to search for here via the engine. I will never be a "RTFF" guy so if you got questions, PM me.

Welcome.
