I went to my dad's place and found this Speaker along with a Snodgrass she had also given me and a Bresnahan Portrait and Jimmy Collins I had bought from ebay when I was 17 or 18. Seeing those again was all I needed to decide I wanted to collect more cards from the set.

Very cool! It is funny that Speaker was one of the first T206s that I thought about getting when I was considering starting the set. I ultimately passed on the project, but that particular card creates a positive feeling to me - glad that it provides a connection with your late mother. Very cool and hope that it stays in your family forever. Al
