Incredible Gesture by a Fellow Board Member

[KMayUSA6060]

I felt like this deserved its own thread.

I'd like to give a huge thank you to NJ Dunkin. Total stranger, aside from our conversations via email/PM on this board. He told me the other day he had a card he wanted to send me - said it would look good in my collection. He knows I'm slowly but surely putting together The Monster. So he sends me this card as a gift for absolutely no reason. I don't have the card, nor do I have the back. Unbelievable gesture. So thank you, NJ. I really appreciate it, and will get you back eventually!

Outstanding.

The hobby needs more NJs and less (fill in the blank).

Most people know my situation in the last yr plus, and there have been MANY net54 members who have gone WAY above and beyond to show kindness. This is by far the GREATEST forum, w some amazing people.

this T Card is another example of the class we have on here. Awesome

I agree that this selfless act always gets overlooked because of the negative individuals in the industry.

However, as a post WW2 collector, could someone please tell what this card is and how it is a key to this set?

Many thanks,

Tom

Great job NJ Dunkin, that's what it is all about !

I'd like to add a side story. About 4 1/2 years ago I started building
a low grade Monster T206 set for my then 8 year old son. I waited
until I had acquired roughly 350 different before I put together
and official want list. The first person I sent the list to was Sir Dan Mckee.
True to Dan's nature he drops me a quick email and says " I had a few
and I sent them to you" To that I replied great, thank you Dan. What do I owe you ?

He then says, " There for your son right?, there's no charge "

What can you say other than, great hobby, greater people !

Thanks again and again Dan !!!

The card is Chief Meyers. It is not a key card in the T206 set. The key cards in this set range from $1,000 (Demmitt & Ohara PSA 1) to $400,000 (Wagner PSA1).
The back is a Tolstoi, which is somewhat more difficult that a common back.

I would like to thank Sean and Kyle, who answered via private message, about this card.

NJ, you are the man !

I know your purchases have been budget minded, and for you to do something like that, you deserve every kind word that has been said.

Really nice gesture, NJ!

I have to give my shout out to John Dreker, when I was putting my T206 set together, I got down to two cards and received an email for John not to purchase them, they were heading my way. Sure enough a couple days later had the two cards at no charge from John, another great guy in the hobby. They are out there, a shame the bad ones put such a scar on the hobby.
