I just recently started collecting T206s. As some on this site know, I have been in the business of selling my grandma's cards. My great grandfather collected cards as a kid from 1909 to 1912. He passed to my grandfather over a thousand cards. about 600 of them baseball and the other 400 where different sports and non sports cards. When my grandpa died he didn't leave any money for my grandma and she has been living off cards since 2000, for extra income. In the past year or so I have sold a bunch of E79 and E80s (Boxing), 75 T210s, over 20 E95s (including Wagner and Cobb), a Mellomint, a T205 Pat Moran w/stray line, and finally 2 Red Hindu and 8 Brown Hindu T206s (to include a Walter Johnson portrait). Now that my grandma is set with a good amount in savings, she has given my uncle and I whats left. So, I am now taking what I have of my great grandfather's cards and setting out to do what he tried back in 1909-11 and complete the T206 set (minus the 4 I can't afford).
