Unfortunately when I was young I spent half my money on women and booze.
The rest I wasted.

T206 REFERENCE....Stamps, BB cards, old Cars, which of them did you collect 1st ?

Hi Ted, I started with coins at 3 years old. I had a pink plastic piggy bank with the plastic cap on the bottom. I've always been into numbers and math my whole life. I'd empty my pennies out and look at them. I noticed that many had different numbers on them and some also had letters under the numbers. So I decided to see how many different ones I could find. I didn't know I was coin collecting until like a year later when I had my pennies all in order on the floor in my room and a friend of my mom's said, I didn't know you were a coin collector, so by 4 years old I had a name to what I was doing. Nobody in my family collected anything, except for my grandfather that lived a thousand miles away, and only saw him a week out of a year or two, for maybe ten times. He collected old steam engines that he'd restore and mount all the different types onto a custom trailer he built, and would travel around the country during the summer months, and display them at engine shows. So I probably got the collecting and mechanical gene from him.

Next came stamps when I was 6, then cards and comic books when I was 7.

In my teen years, I started collecting girlfriends named Jennifer. That went on for a while.

Then in my 20's and up, I was collecting Camaro Z28's and Rally Sports pre 1982. Also, everything that's needed for a custom performance shop, along with vinyl decals and ceramic & powder coatings. Currently everything has been sitting in storage because jobs were coming in slower, and most people were not spending like they used to. So I temporarily closed my 30k sqft business 9 months before covid hit.

I still collect everything, even though I've been trying to consolidate everything the past ten years. My biggest concern is I have no kids, and I'm basically the last person in my family legacy. Plus the big 50 hits this year. Ouch. Just like how many want to buy Ted's collection, many want me to adopt them.

Hi Ron

I'm not sure whether I started collecting Coins or Stamps first. It doesn't really matter, though. Then the local Diner installed a Pin-Ball machine in their restaurant,
and I spent all my coins playing that machine. The Stamps and Baseball cards from my youth I still have. As I said in an earlier post, the excitement of the 7-game
1947 World Series got me hooked on collecting Baseball cards....especially New York Yankees players.
Plus we sort of share an interesting coincidence. In my teen years, I started collecting girlfriends whose name started with the letter "J" (Jean, Jane, June, Jennifer,
Judy, etc.).

Furthermore, I was a "Train nut". We lived nearby the Pennsylvania RR line. At 5 PM everyday, my neighbor and I would ride our bikes over to the tracks to see the
Steam Locomotive (2-8-4) fly-by pulling a dozen crowded passenger cars on their way to NYC. I got quite a kick reading about your Grandfather, who collected old
steam engines, and restored them. That is an amazing story.

Thanks Ron for reminiscing about the good ole days.

The conversation with Ted is well worth the price of admission and cost of getting there.

See you at the Philly Show this weekend......

Hi Frank

I appreciate your complimentary words.

Regarding the Philly Show....the crowds on Friday and (especially) Saturday were enormous.

Business was good, and the majority of the folks were there for the autographs on Saturday (many big-name Ball players were signing).

As usual, most of my customers were mainly T206 / T205 collectors looking for tougher backs (BROAD LEAF, RED HINDU, Pd #42, etc.).

My Grandson, Ron, from Maine is visiting us. He enjoyed the Show. Our first sale on Friday was Ron's 1969 TOPPS Mickey Mantle card.

And, had some really nice conversations with Net54 members.

Re-visiting PIEDMONT 460 Fac. #42 cards....are there any more than 72 of them ?

Factory #42....Durham, North Carolina

ATC tobacco brands...... AMERICAN BEAUTY, PIEDMONT, SWEET CAPORAL, etc.

Five of my PIEDMONT 42's are trimmed, which doesn't phase me at all, since their backs are printed with bold blue ink.
Many of the backs of PIEDMONT 42's were printed with a very light blue ink. For example......my Hal Chase.

There are more of these 42's that I could show; however, I'd rather see your PIEDMONT 42's. So, why not show us your rare gems.

Cobb on the market.

Thomas

Thanks for posting the red portrait Cobb with the Pd. #42 back.

If the price on it remains reasonable, I may try for it.

Needless to say, many of the T206 PIEDMONT #42 cards are really tough to find. Correspondingly, T205 cards
with Pd. #42 backs can be quite tough, too. Schulte is a toughie. It is my favorite card in my T205 Pd. #42 run.
