Tricks, Tips, and Rules to buying T206's

[bbcard1]

I am also a believer in don't walk away from something you want if the money isn't that much of a difference maker. I recently bought a group of raw T205s which I think would grade 2s or even a couple 2.5s at $10 each...I was buying them to upgrade my set, but none of them were huge upgrades, so had I not been able to get them at my price, I would have walked away. The buyer was happy because he got his money, no muss, no fuss and I am happy because I figure I can upgrade about six of my cards from p-f to f-g or a little better and then sell the cards I upgraded to recover most if not all of my $. It all depends on how big of a rush you are in and how picky you are. The difference between $10 and $15 on a single card should not make you walk away if you like the card. The difference of $200 and $300 on a lot of 20 is more significant and sometimes you then need to think about "unbundling" them.
