Probably the most iconic set in the hobby. The colors and presentation are fantastic! Totally agree, eye appeal trumps the technical grade. And yes, I can’t stand creases! The backs mean nothing to me, I am perfectly happy with all Piedmonts (available at much lower prices compared to some of the scarce-rare backs). I display the front of my cards, not the backs. :) Really good video, thanks much.

Nicely done video. I'm a fan, I've been concentrating on Topps '52 but the "eye appeal" on the T-206 cards are also spectacular.

Thank you so much, this video was very insightful and helpful on the subject. I have a decent sized modern collection (I have a tiny bit of vintage early 60's but not much) with a few PC's and recently have been reading about T206's and tobacco cards and have gotten sucked in (but didn't know where to start). I'd eventually love to obviously get some of these and then branch into early bubblegum sets and this gave me some ideas of how and where to start, definitely subscribing!

Great video! This video and your knowledge of T-206 cards has peaked my interest in collecting cards from this set. Thanks!

I need to get back into this set. Haven't collected it in years but excited to do so again. Keep posting vids!

Thanks man. Yeah definitely a fun set to get into. Prices have gone up though since I made this video. I think they will eventually go down as the supply is rather high.

I'm really into collecting Pokemon Base set, and I came across your channel just to hear a different perspective on a historic collectable of baseball cards. I don't even watch sports, but I respect what you show, and tell. I also respect the countless hours it takes for hunting down a card, attempting to get more of a better condition one. There's one thing that makes all collectibles congruent to eachother, and that is passion. I got into collecting to fill a void from the loss of a very close relative. I'm happy I did bc what I collect puts me in such a happy place. I know this is a long message, but I had to acknowledge that I really enjoy your content. Thank you, and the best of luck to you on your journey

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to put this set into perspective for collectors. I am new at the T206 and have made some pickups. A veteran collector always told me to invest in the Hall of Fame players first. Of course, there are exceptions as you have stated. I have subbed to your channel and will dive in further to see what other videos you have! Thanks!

Great collection, I'm working on a team set. I also like the back variations.

Awesome collection of t206 cards. I am working on the set. Been fun. Keep it up

I just discovered your channel. Getting started into collecting after a 35 year old hiatus. I also loved t206 cards as a kid but couldn’t afford them. Now I got some money and want to get started. I don’t want to go too crazy with high priced cards just yet. What do you think of collecting the 350/30 cards as a starter? Would you recommend a minimum grade of PSA 4? Or do you recommend instead of collecting the HOFers at a much lower grade like 1-2? Thanks.

@DeadGuyCardboard

6 жыл бұрын

I think HOFers in PSA 3-4 are a great place to start. You'll never have a problem selling HOFers in that grade range in case you ever want to sell to upgrade or downgrade. You could even go after a team set in PSA 3 range. That's also a great starting off point to get familiar with the set and the grades.

Great video, what does grading A authentic mean ?

@DeadGuyCardboard

6 жыл бұрын

A or Authentic means the card was altered. Meaning that it was either trimmed (borders of the card were cut to look sharper) or some other form of alteration like retouching the colors. The authentic does mean that although the card has been altered it is still an original card and not a reprint.

Excellent vid. I admit..the set is intriguing (Love the colors). Didn't know they were reasonably priced. Of course this vid is over 4 years old now so I assume prices went up a bit... so I"m going to bring up a situation, and I'd like to know what would you do: 1.You know how sometimes an unopened pack is worth more...just being left alone? Okay...so let's say someone found a pack of cigs that STILL had a T206 card inside, but you couldn't see what it was....would you open it? Assuming it was a common, would the pack be worth more just remaining sealed? Looking for your opinion...

@DeadGuyCardboard

2 жыл бұрын

I’d probably leave it unopened. Most unopened packs from that era have the wrong stamp on them indicating that they came after 1909-11. It’s very rare to find a pack from that time period and even if you did there’s a chance you could pull a non-sports card from it instead of a T206.

How much is a reasonable price for Collins collector grade? I am trying to build an athletics team set.

@DeadGuyCardboard

5 жыл бұрын

Nowadays you can probably get a PSA 3 Collins for around $200. Maybe a little more depending on the centering and overall look.

Just given the look of your cards, you must be patient when buying them. I’m all over the place. I have cards graded 1-4. In hindsight, I should’ve elected to do a minimum of 3s only. I have no patience and just looking to quickly fill my collection.

@DeadGuyCardboard

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, pretty early on in my collecting I realized I just wanted to go after centered 3-4 T206s. I certainly bought 2s early on, but slowly sold them off and got upgrades. I feel the hobby is more fun when you're patient...but it's also a little frustrating.

When I see 2 of the same cards on eBay and an ungraded one is for $100,000 and the other is $5 then the $100k seller is looking for a sucker ? I see a lot of that.

How much is your collection worth $

Do you prefer SGC over PSA? I'm told PSA graded cards sell for more but the SGC has a much better looking case.

@DeadGuyCardboard

7 жыл бұрын

I prefer SGC over PSA for T206's in particular. They look a lot better in SGC slabs in my opinion. Sometimes you'll see oversized T206 cards in PSA slabs and they are in weird almost bubble-like holders, so there's no consistency with the way all your cards look in PSA holders. Also at the time I started this collection, SGC was (and is to an extent) cheaper to submit for grading. But yes, without a doubt PSA graded cards sell for more. PSA is the way to go if you are looking to flip to make a potential profit. SGC is the choice if you are looking to hold onto them and display.

You inspired me to get back to buying cards. I collected in the late 70’s and into the 80’s then stopped. I’m buying t206 cards and have accumulated 15 cards thus far. I’ve collected other things in the past but realized something very quickly in the hobby. The collecting world is full of douchebags. Lots of conmen unfortunately. Just gotta be careful out there.
