Finally finished my T205 HOFer set

[dougscats]

Nice going, Zach.

I'm collecting the whole T205 set, with Hall-of-Famers as my first priority, pretty much in the same condition that yours are in. I'm almost half way there. It's a long-term goal, however; I'm in no rush, so I still need most of the toughest cards.

I've been watching prices for several years now, and it would seem that this is a good buyer's market for T205's. Do you think that's so?
[T205's seem to me a bit out of vogue, especially compared to T206's, which I always thought of as equal value but seem more expensive these days.]

Thanks for sharing all those pictures too.

I agree with whoever told you to break 'em out. You have a real knack for eye appeal, and two or three of those appear to be comically undergraded. Beautiful cards!

What's next?

Nice work on a great set. The Joss and Cobb look nice for the grade. Looking forward to see what you have in mind for your next project.

Congrats on a great group of cards!

Technically it is an accurate grade according to PSA's standards. The back is miscut. Perhaps it could have been a PSA 2 MC.

Thanks for all the kind word, my next endeavor will probably be to finish my N162 HOF set I have Dan Brouthers but need the others, but the cost is the biggest issue with those. I may also get more HOF 1930s cards from various Goudeys and Diamond Stars.

I think that now is best to get T205s because the popularity could very much rise while I started the other thread yesterday to see what everyone's favorite is I saw a good amount of T205 fans, that forcasts to me a possible rise in value in the near future, and that Joss card is going way up, I found old google achives that showed that Joss sold on 2/28/11 for 565.00 and was listed as undergraded. I had the pleasure of meeting the man who won that auction then sold it to me.

Well done Zach ! I agree with another post, crack those rascals out and line em up side by side in a pocket sheet/notebook style... Great for looking through. How many HOfers are there in theat T205 subset ?

Great job !

I have 23 total cards. If I was to pursue everything HOF including those rediculous slight variation cards then there would be 29 total. But I have no use for the Mathewson Cycle back variation card or the Wallace No cap 1 line. And I only chose active players at the time (excludes Duffy) and ones that made the HOF for playing ability. I excluded the Duffy because I always hated manager cards as a kid, I used to throw darts at my manager cards from the 80s and 90s lol.

I cracked 6 the other day. It's so cool to actually look directly at the card - it's the only way to really get a full appreciation for the quality of the lithography (especially for T205s), and the gold borders look SO much better completely naked. To add to the fun, I took about 100 T206s out of their sleeves last night and piled them up - it really felt decadent, given today's plastic encapsulation attitude!
