Great set/project, good luck.

A word of advice, if I may- buy the HOFers in higher grade than the commons, and the better the HOFer, the higher the grade; if that means taking it slower, so be it. So often you see sets with an average grade of X, and all the commons are higher graded and offset the lower graded HOFers to get to the average grade. To me, this makes little sense. The value is in the HOFers. So spend the money where the value lies.

Good luck on your journey. Learn about alterations and cuts before you get to deep and buy altered T205's in those pretty clear slabs.

Nice start to a T205 set. I dabbled in putting a lower grade set together, 3-4 yrs back and it was fun. I focused more on aesthetics (and centering and border chipping) than the technical grade. Great looking cards will always sell, if that time comes.

Good luck! T205s are great and I almost like them more than T206s - they have stats and info about players! also there are different backs too

Make sure you have a mix of backs or collect just one back type, it gets hard when looking around for them and will make it easy to pick them out.

Thanks for the post!

Jimmy
