Steve M.It was at a White Plaines show sometime in the 80's. My family was taking a trip from Illinois to Brooklyn where my wife had cousins. I had just started my T206 collection and there was Barry, briefcase in hand, wandering the show. When I asked a setup dealer if he had any T206 he pointed to this skinny guy and said ask him. I did and Barry opened his case and pulled out either a St. Louis O'Hara or Demmitt (for the life of me I can't remember which as I have owned both) but anyway I says how much? $1,100.00 he responded. Well I choked it back and bought the card. Later had it PSA graded (remember, I was new at this, so forgive me) and it came in a 4. So for many years thereafter I purchased a lot of T206 from Barry. For years after I would get his catalogues always beautifully presented with such neat stuff. Definitively a CLASS ACT !!!!!
