Doug, nice set. As for a raw T206 set, I was meeting with a lawyer in NYC last year and saw some baseball card memorabilia around his office and inquired if he was a collector. He then pulled out a complete raw T206 set (minus just the Wagner). It was in near mint condition. I thought the cards would easily grade 7s. I asked him why he didn't grade them and he said he simply had no interest. Later on he sent me a scan of his green Cobb which he had gotten graded -- it came back a 7.

It was unreal. The guy was in an average law firm, making average money but was a huge card collector in the 70s. He bought the entire set NM for like 30K or something like that. Oh and he had a complete NM 33 Goudey set as well in his office. I was dizzy when I left.

Not raw, but in 2004 Brian Seigel had a T206 set where all the cards were graded either PSA 8 or 9, including the trimmed Wagner. But obviously he sold it

Really very nice set! I have 518 of them but you have mine beat to shit, with only a couple of exceptions. PS I too avoid off center and any back damage. Mine too are beautifully raw! dave. How many do you have and what biggies are you missing?

Doug,
That looks like a beautiful set. Mine is also mostly raw. I got the HOFs graded a couple of years ago and they averaged about EX 5s.

Mercy! That is a gorgeous set. My set is raw but all I wanted was an example of each card so I have back damage on some and some creasing. But seeing yours makes me wonder why I spend all that money on commons or fair-good examples.

Beautiful collection

Better than mine. I am missing 88 cards and I have worked on it for 7 years. Mine is also mixed with graded cards. I like my prewar to show some age

Thanks for the compliments guys. I started in january of 08, so almost 4 years now. I have 500 cards so I'm missing just 21. 4 southerns, a couple minors and some low end HOFers. My O'Hara looks ok but does have a pinhole if anyone can upgrade me. Demmitt is vg'ex and so is elberfeld wash. Having a hard time with the Dahlen, Brooklyn.

Wow, really nice set. I prefer raw as well as it seems they are more personal then slabbed cards. Maybe because you can touch an smell them vs. picking up a plastic case.

Did you buy these all raw? Or did you release some from their plastic prison?

Awesome looking near set. Makes me think I should take mine out of the individual protectors and put them in pages.
