And don't forget that in 1995 the card could have been purchased for a couple of bucks.
K-Nole, I would say you are one lucky guy.

Could not be purchased for a couple of bucks in '95 or '85. The latter is the year I began collecting T cards and it would have been $15-20 then. Still have the records to prove it. Unless it was a beater then under $10 for sure. I think T206 has poorly appreciated in value because they're easier to buy now. I used to love mailing in cash to Lew Lipset and get my card a few weeks later. Now, BIN on ebay and in three days it yours.
