Great story. I really wish I could have met some of these hobby pioneers. I am sure they did it for the love of the game and because they loved collecting with friends.

Mark M.- Funny how things get verified as we talk about them. This morning I was reading a Trader Speaks from April 1976. The T206 Wagner batting, Piedmont back, was mentioned as a new discovery and was touted as real. It had been looked at by 2 paper conservators, and a few hobbyists, and deemed authentic. I guess they hadn't done the tub test yet .
