One of my many regrets in a long hobby history is a group of S74s I let get away 25 years ago.
One afternoon I mentioned to a lady living across the street that I collected baseball cards. She asked me to hold on a moment and quickly returned with an old water pitcher with 62 S74 silks inside. At the time I did not know exactly what they were but paid her $100.00 (at $20 a week) for the group.
There were 8 HOFers in the lot. I only kept them about 3 months before a huge trade with John E. from Ft. Worth for T206s. It was a more than fair trade for me but I did not even keeper a type example for my collection.
I know at the time John had a wonderful collection but never heard from him again. He drove 5 hours to make the trade. I hate to name the fellow without his permission, Leon or Rich do you know who I am talking about.
