I did end up selling it off, but I took pictures of it all and still have those.  I think I had about 35% of the set at the time, all graded.

What got me onto that was I had purchased a membership to PSA (getting Mickey mantles and stuff like that graded that I had) and as part of the membership I got a free coffee table book about the T206 collection.  The book is great, really well put together and has back stories on all the players.  So that was the spark and from there I just decided to start collecting it.

I just started an investment portfolio with the proceeds though lol.  Nothing too exciting.  But it was fun buying up the loose cards and getting them graded and seeing how the results would come up.

I would warn anyone though if you’re going to collect vintage cards, you have to have a very good eye when dealing with ungraded cards because it’s very common for people to alter them by trimming the edges to make them look like they are in better condition.  But trimming basically ruins the value if you attempt to get it graded.
