Raw Cards and Signed Cards

I am steadily adding to my raw T206 collection, with about 25 or so new examples over the past few months. It is refreshing to hold a pile of T206 cards, free to thumb through them over and over again -- as opposed to a clunky, heavy slab. Don't get be entirely wrong, I still love my slabbed cards -- hey, that's why I have held on to them. But the joy of quickly sifting or shuffling through a deck of T206 cards with one hand is hard to match with slabs.

I am also considering parting with some of my non-T206 signed cards in order to acquire a signed T206 signed card I own. This will be a hard decision, but my ultimate view may be that no stone should be left unturned when it comes to adding to a signed T206 card collection -- even if it means parting with a T201 or T202 of a favorite player. But I really don't know. I'm still mulling that one over. Stay tuned.....
