How does it feel when you got no food?

Man, that PSA 7 T206 Gabby Street got me hooked and rethinking about my collection. I will definitely finish my nephew's project (Jeter-signed ball and a few vintage non-RC cards of popular Yankee HOFers - I have most of it already). The unfinished projects? E-card type-collection, T206 Bergen backs, T206 Bush backs, T206 Highlanders portraits. Might be a tad slow. But I am still definitely after the T206 Bergen backs. I think it's time for me to move on, though. Time to obtain rare pieces. After I clear up my finances I will start aiming for the high-end stuff - stuff that push $500 or more. I have 3 T206s in mind. One of them is a deep-color, fine registration T206 Gabby Street. The other two are different players but the same type of green fade I like. But only the nicest copies with the deepest color I will go after, regardless of condition sans paper loss in the front or very bad creases that detract from its eye appeal. And the third is one of the lesser common T206s, somewhat like the Elberfeld (Wash. portrait).

I guess I'll make another webpage for these items. I'll probably include my N28 and Jordan RC since each was obtained close to 4-digits each. I'll probably display no more than a dozen cards on the page. Yeah, I know I sound wishy-washy and all because it looks like I keep changing my mind, but I will still try to keep finishing those projects which I already started.

I have a whole mess of 90s cards I have to go through. I'll probably pitch the commons and give the star cards to Bob to use for prizes and such. With the way the sportscard market exploded, nobody has any real use for those 1990s commons, what with the knowledge and all.

No promises right now because I do not have the time.

If I only knew then what I know now. Oh well, live and learn. baby.gif
