Nothing Like A Raw Stack Of T206 Cards

Don't get me wrong, all my best cards are slabbed. And I think as a general rule that if you crack a card out of a slab in order to return it to its raw state that you are literally giving money away (sell the slabbed card, buy the raw one and keep the difference in your pocket).

But I am putting together an all (mostly) raw, condition insensitive, T206 set and last night I got a huge boost -- a lot of over 175 raw T206 cards to add to my previous stack of 100+ raw T206 cards. (Thanks to Chris from Net54!) And I have to tell you, there really is nothing like sorting through a stack of raw T206 cards -- just as they were collected by kids 100 years ago. And when they're already condition-challenged, there are no worries about nicks and bends and such. So you can really have fun with them!

Anyway, half the reason I bought this large group is because of how much fun I knew it would be to sort them.
