Georgia Find: 878 T205's and T206's
 
For about a year now, I've been in contact with a seller acting on behalf of a family that found 878 T205's and T206's in an old trunk in Georgia.

The seller was nice enough to send me a flash drive with images of each individual card that he had slabbed by SGC. All cards have since been sold, but figured it was worth sharing with the community.

I was fortunate enough to pick up approximately 250 cards from this collection. Just goes to show that there are still some large finds out there!

All images can be viewed <a href="https://imageshack.us/a/8G9l/1">here.

Thanks for sharing. I noticed that there were a few "Elite 11" cards. I must have missed that sale.

Great find. Except for the one T210 Old Mill, were they all Piedmont? I didn't scroll all the way to the end. I guess we know what brand the original owner preferred. 😊

Where was this in Georgia? I didn't hear about it.

Wow -- nice find. Spencer P350 is a very difficult f/b combo.

The Nap P42 is gorgeous. Guess the little paper loss caused it to be a 1/10?

Just for the dreamer in me...What would a find like this be worth approximately? $50K?

I travel/work that area a ton, and never heard about it or read about it.
Interesting to find more about it??

Its actually the Rucker that is the PD 42. Great looking card and not an easy one.

205's
 
I had a chance to buy a good size group of T205 Piedmont 42's from this find and bought all offered to me. Great find !!

Hi Turner

Thanks for posting this information and the images. Regarding the T206 cards, this is very significant in that it reinforces my observation that the Atlanta area
has been the source of the Elite 11 cards.

I elaborate more on this subject in.... Regional source of the Elite 11 cards....Post #198

Best regards,
