Anyone have any tips for buying raw T206 online?
Posted By: David
I'm just starting my T206 collection. I really like the SGC holders and I want my entire set in an SGC holder. That being said, it's going to make the monster that much harder if I only buy SGC graded. I don't mind buying raw and submitting; however, I'm nervous about trimming and non authentic cards. |

The following is excerpted from David Rudd Cycleback's "Judging the Authenticity of Early Baseball Cards" which although copywrited, is posted on the internet, and therefore, I conclude is in the public domain. |

finding good cards on eBay can be tough at times, try dealer sites that have nice clean cards - the prices maybe a bit higher - but at least most of them have accurate grades - also groups of T206 cards from Auction Houses would be a good start. Get a wants list and post it to the B/S/T or create a website for your list |

I'm sure that if you had any doubts about an online purchase that any of the T206 savvy members of this forum would gladly help you. Due to the fact that it would obviously be a live auction, I would recommend that you email someone privately to avoid upsetting other potential bidders. Until you feel more comfortable judging authenticity and condition use the knowledge available right here. |

If you own and look at enough T206s (including online pics), most reprints are easy to spot. If you're buying low grade commons, it's not a big deal as you're not risking much money. If the seller provides nice pics, guarantees the authenticity and has good feedback, you're probably okay. Obviously most care is needed when buying the expensive and supposedly high grade cards, as more money is involved and a seller's grading standard may not match yours or the grading companies'. |

I've been on many message boards where newbies get trashed for asking basic questions. This place is a refreshing change. I've been collecting baseball cards off and on for 27 years, but the lottery aspect that's taking over the hobby the last 15 years or so has really pushed me away. |
