Posted By: Rob D.The first pre-war card I ever owned was a T205 Jimmy Dygert, purchased for $2 at a flea market in Hartville, Ohio, in 1976 when I was 13 years old. I've been wanting to pick up a decent example for quite some time. Thanks to Scott on the B/S/T. <img src="http://www.dispatch.com/buckeyextra/2007-photos/dygertt205.jpg">

Posted By: Tony AndreaJust picked this one up. Love the unique border on this one. Is it possible this was at the top of the sheet when cut at the factory? <img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a95/andreatny/aTinker.jpg">

Posted By: Steve DawsonTony, I would think that Tinker had to be the top card in the column. If it wasn't, it should have a name at the top. Either way, nice card! Steve

Posted By: Tony AndreaJeff - Come to think of it, it does resemble a cut a card would have from the E90-1 set, doesn't it. No wonder I was drawn to it. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: Rob D.Paul, Yep, spending $2 on a T205 in 1976 was seriously overpaying, I suppose. I was blinded by the fact it was over 60 years old! (And it was a beauty!) (Edited to add that I also probably spent $20 on beer cans at the flea market that day. What a mess.)

Posted By: PaulI know it's not vintage, but this was awefully tough to find. <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1216491282.JPG"> It predates his "rookie" card by two years.

Posted By: B O'BrienI swore off the T206 ten years ago, because I could only afford to buy one per year. I'm now 31, have a couple more dollars in my pocket and, thanks to you all, have become hooked again this year. I got so excited when these came in the mail at work, I went for a smoke and drove around so I could look at them without people thinking I was crazy. I love the green in on the American Beauty and Sov's. Thanks to all of you (and Mike at cardtarget) for helping fuel the addiction with the limitless knowledge here on the board!

Posted By: Tony AndreaThought it would be cool to acquire a group of wet sheet transfer's showing the T206 backs. Two down, many more to go.

Posted By: Jim VBYou guys are missing the "rapier sharp" sense of humor shown by msnyc and ockday. The cards you both showed are red Cobbs, regular Tolstoi's. Michael was commenting on the very special, Cobb, "Red Tolstoi". Sentence structure humor is a lost art.
