Jeff,

I bought them as a group in 1980 from a retired airline pilot in Florida. He told me that they were originally collected by his father who had recently passed away, and the cards were part of his personal effects. The pilot did not become aware of them until after his father died. The pilot was not a baseball fan or a card collector, but he did learn the value of the cards. The main part of the collection was about 300 T206's, including a nice Plank. The Orange Borders were basically a "throw-in." There were also a few caramel cards.
